James 2:19-20

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Exodus 6:3

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
 
Joel 2:28-32

And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
 
Romans 8.

The Book of Romans is incredible, but I remember reading and hearing a preaching on that first verse that shook me.
It was like I suddenly heard the gospel for the first time. I was convicted and remember praying to God that night realising that i'd missed it and not understood something so profound.

Look at the "now" in that first verse! How do you get a "now" for something so ancient? How could this be for me?!

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

That whole chapter and the book of Romans will always be so meaningful for me personally. It's one of the books of the bible (there are many) you could study for a long time and continue to find meaning.
 
Its more than a verse quite a long passage, from the old testament, might be near the end of the book of Samuel dont remember the exact address, its where the people of God finally got all the materials and the skilled craftsmen to complete the building the temple of God and it was this amazing event when it was finally completes and they had a whole parade and celebration with trumpet blowing, cheering, singing, praying, joy etc etc, it was like the start of a golden age for the people of God, if I recall the presence of God came down like a cloud on the temple.
 
1 Corinthians 1:28 and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may abolish the things that are, 29so that no flesh may boast before God. 30But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption
 
Psalm 1

"Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction."
 
Mark 8:34–38

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
 
Galatians 3:2 This is the only thing I want to learn from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4Did you suffer so many things for nothing—if indeed it was for nothing? 5So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
 
This is what comes to mind,
and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s gracious love we are not consumed, since His compassions never end. They are new every morning— great is Your faithfulness!

“The Lord is all I have,” says my soul, “Therefore I will trust in Him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who searches for Him. It is good to hope and wait patiently for the Lord’s salvation.

Let us examine our lifestyles, putting them to the test, and turn back to the Lord.

Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven.

(from Lamentations 3)
