67:1-7 (ESV) 1 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to
shine upon us, Selah 2 that your way may be known on earth, your saving power
among all nations. 3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples
praise you! 4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the
peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah 5 Let the peoples
praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! 6 The earth has yielded
its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. 7 God shall bless us; let all the
ends of the earth fear him! Genesis 12:2-3 (ESV) 2 And I will make of you a
great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will
be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you
I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Galatians 3:10-14 (ESV) 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a
curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all
things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident
that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live
by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them
shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by
becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged
on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to
the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Titus 2:11 (ESV) 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for
all people, Acts 20:24 (ESV) 24 But I do not account my life of any value nor
as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I
received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of
God. |
