The Song of Songs 6:4
The Renewal of Love
The Lover to His Beloved:
6:4 My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,
as lovely as Jerusalem,
as awe-inspiring as bannered armies!
Job 1:10
1:10 Have you
not made a hedge
around him and his household and all that he has on every side? You have blessed
the work of his hands, and his livestock
have increased
in the land.
Psalms 60:4
60:4 You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag,
so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah)
Isaiah 11:10
Israel is Reclaimed and Reunited
11:10 At that time a root from Jesse will stand like a signal flag for the nations. Nations will look to him for guidance, and his residence will be majestic.
John 15:9-15
15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love.
15:10 If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
15:11 I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.
15:12 My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you.
15:13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life for his friends.
15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15:15 I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.
Romans 5:8-10
5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
5:9 Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous
by his blood,
we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.
5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?
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.
