In 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, Paul addresses the idea promoted by the super-apostles which stated Paul was not nearly as spiritual as he claimed because he did not have the same hyper-spiritual experiences as these false teachers. While they boast of their glory and power, Paul will boast of his weakness and suffering.

Isaiah 40:26-31

One interpretation suggests that the valley of dry bones represents any hopeless and lifeless situation. It could be a personal struggle, a societal issue, or a spiritual crisis. In these situations, the Lord calls us to prophesy, to speak life and hope into the problem.

ude 1:17–23 lays out Jude's plan of action for recognising, resisting, and defeating apostates. Prior verses were devoted to explaining how, and why, these false teachers were dangerous. Those who followed their examples were bound for eternal judgment.

Ephesians 1:3–14 praises God for the blessings He has provided. Paul ties together the ideas of predestination, God's glory, the salvation of His people, and the rights we have as children of God. In particular, believers are blessed because God chose, before creation, to save us.

Genesis 6:11-7:5 and 1 Peter 3:18-22

Genesis 6:8-22 relate that one man — Noah — was an exception. Noah made an effort to please God in spite of the ungodliness around him, and for that reason, he “found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” In Hebrew, the word grace comes from a root meaning “to bend or stoop.” Thus, grace is the condescending or unmerited favor of a superior person to a lesser one. This is the first occurrence of this word in Scripture.

In Romans 10:13, Paul quotes from Joel 2:32: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” This verse means that the gospel of faith is open to all, but there must be a proper response, which is to call on the name of the Lord.

Luke 19:1-10

Jesus chose to stay at Zacchaeus place whom other people say that he is a sinner. We need to understand that Jesus judges us fairly. People who accepts and believes in Him despite of their doings will be forgiven as long as they repent their sins.

Revelation 21:4 (understanding)

John 20 is the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. It relates the story of Jesus' resurrection. It relates how Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. Jesus appears to her and speaks of his resurrection and dispatches Mary to tell the news to the disciples.
