For me it's Hebrews 10:14 it's so powerful in its simplicity, my sins are forgiven past present and future.

"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (KJV)


Per MS Copilot -

Hebrews 10:14 emphasizes the completeness of Jesus' sacrifice. By "one offering," it means that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was once and for all, covering all sins for those who are sanctified. "Perfected for ever" implies a permanent state of being made perfect in God's eyes, which is a profound idea because it contrasts the repetitive sacrifices in the Old Testament with the single, all-sufficient sacrifice of Jesus.

This verse reassures believers of the security and finality of their sanctification. It's a source of comfort, as it underscores that believers' relationship with God is solidified by Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.

2nd favorite..

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


So now, I’m good in heaven per Hebrew 10:14, and good on earth… haha


Perchat GPT, Jeremiah 29:11 is a beautiful promise from God, reminding us that His plans for us are rooted in love and purpose. Even when we face challenges or uncertainty, God is always at work, orchestrating a future that is filled with hope and prosperity, not harm. This verse encourages us to trust in His timing, knowing that whatever we face, God has already designed a plan for our good. It’s a reminder that His love is constant, His wisdom perfect, and His promises unfailing.

When we reflect on this, it can bring comfort, knowing that no matter what trials we face, God is guiding us toward something greater. This verse is an invitation to rest in His peace, trusting that our lives are not random, but divinely planned with purpose, protection, and provision in mind. Whether we are waiting for provision, healing, or guidance, we can hold onto the truth that God’s plans will always bring hope and a future.

God has loved us all from day one in the first Adam, who failed yes, yet God had the plan for Son to come here to get us saved in God';s spirit and Truth for us all John 4:23-24, that is done the prediction filled from Genesis 3:15-16
About Jesus, not understood then, now is in the risen son for us to see new and stand in the good (God), not in the evil as religion teaches to stand in evil, by thinking about evil to not do, we do it by not wanting to do it, What????????????
Yes, read Romans 6, 7, 8 trusting Father to reveal it all to you. To see to only focus on the good, yet be aware of evil, yes, just do jot give it a place in you to not do, because then you will do it or get proud over not doing it?
I mean Paul found out to follow after under Law, led him to die Romans 7:10 and it was or is not the Law that caused this, it is in his first born self flesh to not be able to be perfect, this same is in us all at first birth, time to be born new by God for you too from God in risen Son thank you

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.Isaiah 45:19

My favorite becuase it descibes who he is what he stands for and anyone that seeks him will find him. "When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

He has told the whole world, frankly, the truth that he is God. If it were a secret not known by many, he wouldn't be God of the universe, but because he is God, everyone knows he exists. He has made it known to all the nations through Jesus Christ his son and, our Savior.

It also states that everything Our Father has said is true and right, and he keeps all his promises.

John 15:17-19 This is My command to you: Love one another. If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. .:)

Acts 17:26-27 ~ From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands. God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. :)

Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Mine is more due to personal reasons, but the reason I like this verse so much is because the last year has been a rough year for me. This verse has been popping up whenever I'm feeling particularly heavy of heart. For example, one time I was at the post office running an errand during a day when I felt very heavy hearted and the lady helping had that verse on her counter. Another time, I was at the hospital with my dad and I was greatly saddened and I seen that verse painted on one of the walls. It's given me so much comfort in the various times that the Lord reminds me of it by placing it before me in various places that I ordered a personalized Bible verse wrap ring from a lady and her husband on etsy. All scriptures are a great blessing, it's just that this particular verse is really comforting me a lot in this season of life.

Matthew 18:19-20 I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. 20For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Those that will not quit beleif to see this truth will see this truth humbly so. God never leaves anyone or forsakes anyone, people do, and I can only speak for me in this truth. I know I have and can again and choose not to, and have in even choosing not to, maybe others too. Please Understand God loves us all and wants what is best for us all. As I have seen what I have thought was best or at least good for me I have found out, what I think can decieve me and has in past and can again, Therefore as Paul said it in Phil 3:12-20, I put behind me, what is behind me. moving forward in the present future, the present God is continuously the present from God for us to see it and trust God in it, who knows the best, it is other peoples thoughts that can and have got in my way in past, and yet some were good ones, Discerning truth in everything is a good thing Matt 10:16-20
I am sanctified, Justified and forgiven by God, yet I am not qualified, I am of the first born flesh and blood that is not yet redeemed, so I die daily to me, to see the alive given me more abundantly even in being poor in monetary, that matters not anymore. Contentment when that takes over, there is a whole new you in not being taken away from God being for you. (A new Mind set, Romans 12)
So continue in belief to God does just love you too, thank you
