Verses Referenced and Teaching Notes

Matt 6:5 NKJV

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

Matt 6:7 NKJV

And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Phil 2:10 NKJV

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

John 17:3 Amplified Bible

And this is eternal life: it means to know, to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand You, the only true and real God, and likewise to know Him, Jesus as the Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah, whom you have sent.

James 1:22 NKJV

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

James 2:14 NKJV

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

James 2:14 NLT

Dear brothers and sisters, what's the use of saying you have faith if you don't prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can't save anyone.

James 2:17-20 NKJV

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe -- and tremble!

James 2:17-19 NLT

17 So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all--it is dead and useless. 18 Now someone may argue, "Some people have faith; others have good deeds." I say, "I can't see your faith if you don't have good deeds, but I will show you my faith through my good deeds." 19 Do you still think it's enough just to believe that there is one God? Well, even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror!

Matt 5:16 NKJV

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Eph 2:8-10 NKJV

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them

Eph 2:8-10 NLT

8 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

John 8:58 NLT

Jesus answered, "The truth is, I existed before Abraham was even born!"

Ex 14:13 NKJV

And Moses said to the people,"Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
