1 CORINTHIANS 3:2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able
HEBREW 5:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
LUKE 16:23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Matthew 5:22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, “Raca” shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, “You fool” shall be in danger of hell fire.
MATTHEW 13:41–42 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
MARK 9:43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched–
ROMANS 11:22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
ISAIAH 6:5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”
LUKE 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
ROMANS 7:24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
JOB 4:17 “Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?”
DEUTERONOMY 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 “Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”
COLOSSIANS 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
MATTHEW 25:41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
JAMES 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
ISAIAH 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
MICAH 7:18 Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.
JAMES 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Hosea 6:6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
EZEKIEL 18:23 “Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, and not that he should turn from his ways and live?
2 PETER 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
HEBREWS 1:3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
COLOSSIANS 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
JOHN 5:40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
LUKE 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
MATTHEW 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
Communion: At the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread for his disciples to eat and passed around a cup of wine for them to drink, saying, “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19-20).
The bread symbolizes Jesus’ body broken on the cross, and the juice symbolizes his blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. This act is not just a ritual, but a time to remember Jesus’ sacrifice, to be grateful, to reaffirm our love, and to renew our commitment to live for Jesus. It is an invitation for all believers in Jesus to participate and experience the love and grace He gives.
