And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.\\n\\n2 Thessalonians 2:13 God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and of the truth.\\n\\nEphesians 4:23-24 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.\\n\\nRomans6:4, 6, 14 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. . . knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. . . For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.\\xa0\\n\\nRomans 8:15-17 1\\xa0For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, \\u201cAbba! Father!\\u201d 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs\\u2014heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.\\n\\nRomans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH\\n\\nGalatians 3:10-11 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, n\\u201cCursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.\\u201d 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for \\u201cThe righteous shall live by faith.\\n\\nRomans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.1 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you2 free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,3 he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.\\n\\nRomans 8:31-39 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God\'s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died\\u2014more than that, who was raised\\u2014who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.10 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,\\n\\n\\u201cFor your sake we are being killed all the day long;\\nwe are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.\\u201d\\n37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus...'
