For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!

Whoever believes in the Son [Jesus Christ] has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Learn from the Lord: the path of truth

Psalm 27:11-14

Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a smooth path because of my enemies. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

The psalmist does not pray to be indulged with his own way, but to be informed as to the path in which the righteous Lord would have him or her walk. This prayer outlines an humble sense of personal ignorance, [self awareness, or emotional intelligence] great teachableness of spirit, and cheerful obedience of heart. "Lead me in a plain path." No seeking glory or riches or power is seen here. And as to our enemies, as Spurgeon puts it: "God be thanked that our foes cannot have their way with us".
