    11. Through Him everyone who believe s is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. (Acts 13:39)
     
    ~*~*~
     
    12. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
     
    ~*~*~
     
    13. Is your problem bigger than the Earth, or more impossible to break than the creation of it? If God is powerful enough to create the heavens and the earth, isn’t He powerful enough to help you overcome your sin?

    14. Ah Sovereign LORD, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You. (Jeremiah 32:17)

    15. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 1:18-20)

    ~*~*~
     
    17. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. (James 2:19)
     
    ~*~*~
     
    18. Anyone can say that he believes Jesus came to earth and died on a cross, he can even believe that Jesus was resurrected - but these are only historical facts and they cannot save him. And they do not make him a true Christian.
     
    ~*~*~
     
    19. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)

    22. Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believe d; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believe d.” (John 20:29)
     
    ~*~*~
     
    23. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believe s that Jesus is the Son of God. (1 John 5:5)
     
    ~*~*~

    ~*~*~
     
    25. For we live by faith , not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)
     
    ~*~*~
     
    26. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. (1 Peter 1:8)
     
    ~*~*~
     
    27. God is not some distant, far-away, absentee father. No, He is present, He cares, and He doesn’t want you to worry.
     
    ~*~*~
     
    28. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. (John 14:1)
     
    ~*~*~
