Chapter 5<\/h4>

16<\/small><\/span> For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> But Jesus answered them, \"My Father is still working, so I am working, too.\"<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> Jesus therefore answered them, \"Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.<\/p>

22<\/small><\/span> For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,<\/p>

23<\/small><\/span> that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.<\/p>

24<\/small><\/span> Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.<\/p>

25<\/small><\/span> Most assuredly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.<\/p>

26<\/small><\/span> For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.<\/p>

27<\/small><\/span> He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.<\/p>

28<\/small><\/span> Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,<\/p>

29<\/small><\/span> and will come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.<\/p>

30<\/small><\/span> I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n#9: Much Is Required From Those Given Much<\/strong>
\nLuke 12:47-48<\/em><\/p>\n

Chapter 12<\/h4>

47<\/small><\/span> That servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,<\/p>

48<\/small><\/span> but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n#8: He Is Preparing A Place For Us In Heaven<\/strong>
\nJohn 14:1-3<\/em><\/p>\n

Chapter 14<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> \"Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> In my Father's house are many mansions. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n#7: We Have The Power To Bind And Release<\/strong>
\nMatthew 16:13-20<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 16<\/h4>

13<\/small><\/span> Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, \"Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am ?\"<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> They said, \"Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.\"<\/p>

15<\/small><\/span> He said to them, \"But who do you say that I am?\"<\/p>

16<\/small><\/span> Simon Peter answered, \"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.\"<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> Jesus answered him, \"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> I also tell you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you will loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.\"<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> Then he charged the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n#6: Our Lives Can Bear Fruit Through Him<\/strong><\/p>\n

John 15:5-8<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 15<\/h4>

5<\/small><\/span> I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done to you.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nJesus\u2019 Promises
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to these great promises, Jesus also made some promises about his words and the word of God that deserve their own mention. Here are just a couple of them that didn\u2019t make our list:<\/p>\n

The Gospel Will Be Preached In The Whole World
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew 24:1-14<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 24<\/h4>

1<\/small><\/span> Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.<\/p>

2<\/small><\/span> But he answered them, \"Don't you see all of these things? Most assuredly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.\"<\/p>

3<\/small><\/span> As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, \"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?\"<\/p>

4<\/small><\/span> Jesus answered them, \"Be careful that no one leads you astray.<\/p>

5<\/small><\/span> For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.<\/p>

6<\/small><\/span> You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.<\/p>

7<\/small><\/span> For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.<\/p>

8<\/small><\/span> But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.<\/p>

9<\/small><\/span> Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.<\/p>

10<\/small><\/span> Then will many stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.<\/p>

11<\/small><\/span> Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.<\/p>

12<\/small><\/span> Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.<\/p><\/div>\n

Translation: World English Bible<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Word Will Endure Forever<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Luke 21:33<\/em><\/p>\n

Chapter 21<\/h4>

33<\/small><\/span> Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

#5: We Can Have True Freedom Through Christ<\/strong>
\nJohn 8:31-36<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 8<\/h4>

31<\/small><\/span> Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, \"If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.<\/p>

32<\/small><\/span> You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.\"<\/p>

33<\/small><\/span> They answered him, \"We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'\"<\/p>

34<\/small><\/span> Jesus answered them, \"Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.<\/p>

35<\/small><\/span> A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever.<\/p>

36<\/small><\/span> If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.<\/p><\/div>\n

Translation: World English Bible<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n#4: Nothing Is Impossible With Faith<\/strong>
\nMatthew 17:20-21<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 17<\/h4>

20<\/small><\/span> He said to them, \"Because of your unbelief. For most assuredly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.<\/p>

21<\/small><\/span> But this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting.\"<\/p><\/div>\n

Translation: World English Bible<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n#3: He Will Answer Our Prayers<\/strong>
\nJohn 14:12-14<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 14<\/h4>

12<\/small><\/span> Most assuredly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I am going to my Father.<\/p>

13<\/small><\/span> Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.<\/p>

14<\/small><\/span> If you will ask anything in my name, that will I do.<\/p><\/div>\n

Translation: World English Bible<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n#2: He Will Be With Us Always<\/strong>
\nMatthew 28:16-20<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 28<\/h4>

16<\/small><\/span> But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> When they saw him, they bowed down to him, but some doubted.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, \"All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.<\/p>

19<\/small><\/span> Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,<\/p>

20<\/small><\/span> teaching them to observe all things which I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.\" Amen.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n#1: Whoever Believes In Jesus Has Eternal Life<\/strong>
\nJohn 3:16-18<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Chapter 3<\/h4>

16<\/small><\/span> For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.<\/p>

17<\/small><\/span> For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.<\/p>

18<\/small><\/span> He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.<\/p><\/div>\n
