Scripture

1. Hebrews 10:39 ^[1]

   But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. (ESV)
2. John 1:12 ^[1]

   But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, (ESV)
3. Philemon 3–9 ^[1]

   Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Philemon’s Love and Faith I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ. For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. Paul’s Plea for Onesimus Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— (ESV)
4. Galatians 2:15–16 ^[1]

   Justified by Faith We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. (ESV)
