Guided by The Light!

However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God].

If Christ lives in you, though your [natural] body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness [which He provides]. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you. (Romans 8:9-11)

For if we have become one with Him [permanently united] in the likeness of His death, we will also certainly be [one with Him and share fully] in the likeness of His resurrection.

We know that our old self [our human nature without the Holy Spirit] was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin. (Romans 6:5-6)

This is a faithful and trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him.

If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us. (2 Timothy 2:12) The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble [with submissive wonder]!

He sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!

The LORD is great in Zion,

And He is exalted and magnified above all the peoples.

Let them [reverently] praise Your great and awesome name;

Holy is He.

The strength of the King loves justice and righteous judgment;

You have established fairness;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob (Israel). (Psalm 99:1-4)

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Now may the God of peace [the source of serenity and spiritual well-being] who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood that sealed and ratified the eternal covenant, equip you with every good thing to carry out His will and strengthen you [making you complete and perfect as you ought to be], accomplishing in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen (Hebrews 13:20-21)

You have a strong arm; Mighty is Your hand, Your right hand is exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You. Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound; They walk, O LORD, in the light and favor of Your countenance. (Psalm 89:13-15)

The LORD bless you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you];

The LORD make His face shine upon you [with favor], And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness];

The LORD lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval], And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life]. (Numbers 6:24-26)

Finally, believers, rejoice! Be made complete [be what you should be], be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace [enjoy the spiritual well-being experienced by believers who walk closely with God]; and the God of love and peace [the source of lovingkindness] will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11)
