Isaiah 43:2

^bwhen you walk through fire ^cyou shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.

Matthew 7:24-25

Build Your House on the Rock

24 ^d“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like ^ea wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

Romans 8:28-39

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^ffor good, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts God works all things together for good, or God works in all things for the good} for ^hthose who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he ⁱforeknew he also ^jpredestined ^kto be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be ^lthe firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also ^mjustified, and those whom he justified he also ⁿglorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? ^oIf God is for us, who can be ^{▼▼Or who is} against us? 32 ^qHe who did not spare his own Son but ^rgave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? ^sIt is God who justifies. 34 ^tWho is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— ^uwho is at the right hand of God, ^vwho indeed is interceding for us. ^{▼▼Or Is it Christ Jesus who died . . . for us?} 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

^x“For your sake ^ywe are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than ^zconquerors through ^aahim who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
