Isaiah 43:2
43:2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;
when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm you.
Matthew 7:24-25
Hearing and Doing
7:24 “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.
7:25 The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been founded on rock.
Romans 8:28-39
8:28 And we know that all things work together
for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,
8:29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son
would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
8:32 Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?
8:33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
8:34 Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
8:36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
8:37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!
8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
