If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. —Galatians 3:29

His mercies never cease.

his mercies begin afresh each morning. —Lamentations 3:22-23

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. —John 15:10-12
