By Pastor Scott Jefferson

Scriptures

- Luke 11:2-4 (NKJV) - So He said to them, “When you pray, say:Our Father in heaven,Hallowed be Your name.Your kingdom come.Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins,For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.And do not lead us into temptation,But deliver us from the evil one.”

- Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) - that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

- Romans 8:2 (TPT) - For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

- Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV) - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

- Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) - And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

- James 5:16 (NKJV) - Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

- Proverbs 28:13 (TPT) - If you cover up your sin you’ll never do well.But if you confess your sins and forsake them,you will be kissed by mercy.

- 1 John 1:8-10 (TPT) - If we boast that we have no sin, we’re only fooling ourselves and are strangers to the truth. 9 But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time. God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim that we’re not guilty of sin when God uncovers it with his light, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

- Matthew 5:23-24 (TPT) - “So then, if you are presenting a gift before the altar in the temple and suddenly you remember a quarrel you have with a fellow believer, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar and go at once to apologize with the one who is offended. Then, after you have reconciled, come to the altar and present your gift.

- Colossians 3:13 (NKJV) - bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

- Luke 17:3 (NKJV) - Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

- Luke 23:24 (NKJV) - So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.
