1 John 4:7-8 (ESV)

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1 John 3:1 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE GOODNESS OF GOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Psalm 31:19 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you<\/span> and worked for those who take refuge in you,<\/span> in the sight of the children of mankind!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Titus 3:4-5 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

 <\/p>\n

THE MERCY OF GOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Psalm 103:13-14 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.<\/span>
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:4-5 (ESV) <\/strong>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ\u201d\u201dby grace you have been saved\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

Revelation 21:4 (ESV)\u00a0<\/strong>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE PATIENCE OF GOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Peter 3:9 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

 <\/p>\n

2 Peter 3:15 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,<\/p>\n

Psalm 86:15 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Philippians 1:6 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE GRACE OF GOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Exodus 34:6 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, \u201cThe LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,<\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

John 1:16-17 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
