Scriptures for Life was written to help anyone who does not read the Bible on a consistent basis. Face it, the Bible, even though it is the ultimate word of God and is the instruction book for our life on earth, can be difficult to read. Sometimes it is hard to find just that right scripture that will resonate.The book contains over 1, 100 scriptures divided into 38 categories. Each category includes a narrative followed by the scriptures that apply to that category.Scriptures for Life is not intended to replace regular Bible study. Rather, it is designed to bring the scriptures out for easy reading. Any scripture that appeals to the reader should be followed up by referencing the Bible to discover the context of the verse.

Salvation

As outlined in God’s plan, mankind has the option to save itself from eternal damnation. Jesus came into the world in the flesh and lived among men. He experienced all the things you experience. He felt pain, sadness, happiness, love, and all the other emotions you share as a human being. But the difference was that Jesus was perfect. He never sinned. He never gave in to temptation. He never gave up His intended goal, which was to present the plan of salvation to man, then to die and to rise again. In dying, He sacrificed Himself for your sins. All you had to do was to accept the free gift of life He left for you. He, Himself, had a choice to accept God’s plan or reject it, and He accepted it emphatically near the end of His earthly reign.

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Heb. 9:27–28, NIV)

The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is in the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 15:56–57, NIV)

For anyone who keeps his life for himself shall lose it; and anyone who loses his life for me shall find it again. What profit is there if you gain the whole world—and lose eternal life? What can be compared with the value of eternal life? (Matt. 16:25–26, NASB)
