For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit

and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.  Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.  But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight without blemish and free from accusation.

1 Corinthians 15:14-17

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith, more than that, we are then found to be false witness about God, for we testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.  But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.  For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.  And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

1 Timothy 2:5

But to each one of us, grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.  This is why it says: "When he ascended on high he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men."

We have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, that we may freely understand what God has given us.

SALVATION

John 3:5-7

The wind blows wherever it pleases.  You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.  So it is with everyone born of the spirit.

Galatians 2:16

THE FUTURE

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus , who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:

1 Thessalonians 4:13 - 17

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.  According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.  For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever.  Therefore encourage each other with these words.

Daniel 9:25 - 27

Know and understand this; From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler comes, there will be seven "sevens," and sixty two "sevens."  It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty two "Sevens," the Anointed one will be cut off and will have nothing.  The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.  The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant with many for one "Seven."  In the middle of the "seven" he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple, he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out upon him.

Revelation 20:12 - 15

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.  Another book was opened, which is the book of life.  The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.  The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and  death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.  The lake of fire is the second death.  If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Luke 16:24 - 25
