Ephesians
2:10 "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do.
Colossians
1:5-6 “…
the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in
the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it
has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God’s grace in all its truth”
Mark
12:30
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength”
Romans 10:8-17 “so in Christ we who are many form one body and each member belongs to all the others”
Philippians 2:5 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus”

Peter 4:10 “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace
in its various forms.”
Romans 10:8-17 But what does it say? “ The word is near you; it is in your mouth
and in your heart,” that is the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus
is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone
who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile – the same Lord
is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “ Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all of the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah
says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message
is heard through the word of Christ.;
2 Corinthians 10:15b “Our hope is that, as your faith continues
to grow, our area of activity among you will greatly expand …;
Colossians 4:5 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.”
Hebrews 10:25 “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and
all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: “Love the lord your
God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second
is like it: ‘ Love your neighbor yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you
always to the very end of the age.”
Acts 2:42-47 “ They devoted themselves to the apostles’
teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and
miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions
and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke
bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Colossians 1:28
“ We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.”
2 Peter 1:3-11 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by
his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may
participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make
every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control,
perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if
you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge
of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been
cleansed from his past sins Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you
do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.”
John
14:15,23 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.” ; Jesus replied.
“If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with
him.”
