Salvation is for All (Romans 10:3-4 & 10-12) Good News Translation
3 They have not known the way in which God puts people right
himself, and instead, they have tried to set up their own way; and
so they did not submit themselves to God's way of putting people
right.
4 For Christ has brought the Law to an end, so that everyone who
believes is put right with God.
10 For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our
confession that we are saved.
11 The scripture says, "Whoever believe in him will not be
disappointed."
12 This includes everyone, because there is no difference
between Jews and Gentiles; God is the same Lord of all and
richly blesses all who call to him.

Romans 9:14-18
14 Shall we say, then, that God is unjust? Not at all.
15 For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on anyone I wish."
I will take pity on anyone I wish."
16 So then, everything depends, not on what man wants or does,
but only on God's mercy.
17 For the scripture says to the king of Egypt, "I made you king in
order to use you to show my power and to spread my fame over the
whole world."
18 So then, God has mercy on anyone he wishes, and he makes
stubborn anyone he wishes.
Exodus 9:12
12 But the Lord made the king stubborn and, just as the Lord had
said, the king would not listen to Moses and Aaron.
Exodus 33:19
19 The Lord answered, "I will make all my splendor pass before you and
in my presence I will pronounce my sacred name. I am the Lord, and I show
compassion and pity on those I choose.

Roman 12:2
2 Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transformyou inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the
will of God---what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.
Philippians 2:5

nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to become equal with
God.
Philippians 4:8-9
8 In conclusion, my brothers fill your mind with those things that are good and that
deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.

and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will be with you.

God's Love in Christ Jesus (Roman 8:31-39) Good News Translation
31 In view of all of this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 Certainly not God, who did not even keep back his own Son, but offered him for us all! He gave us his Son---will he not also freely give us all things?
33 Who will accuse God chosen people? God himself declares them not guilty!
34 Who, then, will condemn them? Not Christ Jesus, who died, or rather, who was raised to life and is at the right side of God, pleading with him for us!
35 Who then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death?
36 As he scripture says, "For your sake we are in danger of death at all times; we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered."
37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!
38 For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future,
39 neither the world above nor the world below---there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.
