Col. 1 21 At one time you were separated
from God. You were his enemies in your minds, and
the evil things you did were against God.
12
Col. 1 22 yet now he has brought you back
as his friends. He has done this through his
death on the cross in his own human body. As a
result, he has brought you into the very presence
of God, and you are holy and blameless as you
stand before him without a single fault.
13
Rom. 5 10 While we were God's enemies,
he made friends with us through the death of his
Son. Surely, now that we are his friends, he will
save us through his Son's life.
14
Rom. 8 38 Yes, I am sure that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor ruling spirits,
nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers,
nothing above us, nothing below us, nor anything
else in the whole world will ever be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
15
Gal. 110 For am I now seeking the favor of
men or of God? Or am I striving to please men?
If I were still trying to please men I would not
be a bond-servant of Christ.
