your face!”

Luke 6:36-38 KJV

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your
bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again.

17 For God sent
not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that

that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in
the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil.

Romans 5:16-19
NLT
16 And the
result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of
that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s
free Gift leads to our being made right with God, even though
we are guilty of many sins.
17 For the sin
of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even
greater is God’s wonderful grace and His Gift of righteousness, for
all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through
this one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Yes, Adam’s
one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of
righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for
everyone.
19 Because one
person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other
person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
Romans
8:1,31-35. 36-39 KJV
1 There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
31 What shall
we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that
spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He
not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall
lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth.
34 Who is he
that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen
again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us.
35 Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or
sword?
37 Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
II Corinthians
10:3-5 KJV
3 For though we
walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the
pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down
imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to
the obedience of Christ;
II Timothy 1:7
KJV
For God hath
not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love,
and of a sound mind.
I John 4:18 KJV
There is no
fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
in love.
May we never be ruled by feelings, but by thus saith The Lord.
Isaiah 12:2 KJV
Behold, God is my Salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid:
for The Lord Jehovah is my Strength and my Song; He also is become my
Salvation.
