Luke 8:15
8:15 But as for the seed that landed on good soil, these are the ones who, after hearing
the word, cling to it
with an honest and good
heart, and bear fruit with steadfast endurance.
John 1:12-13
1:12 But to all who have received him – those who believe in his name
– he has given the right to become God’s children

by human parents
or by human desire
or a husband’s
decision,
but by God.
John 3:19-21
3:19 Now this is the basis for judging:
that the light has come into the world and people
loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.
3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.
Hebrews 3:12
3:12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God.
Hebrews 10:22
10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings,
because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed in pure water.
