#1 peter 1:3-5

Ephesians 1:11-14. “Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own[b] by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.”

Colossians 1:11b-14. “May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.”

1 Peter 1:3-5. “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.”

“God’s Healing Grace” By In Touch Ministries:

“Because of Christ, our brokenness is being made whole, and we can look forward to a glorious future.”

“In his letter to the Ephesian church, Paul wrote that God brought “all things together in Christ” (Eph. 1:10). This means that because of Jesus, we are being healed in ways we could never have accomplished on our own. His death and resurrection:

• Freed us from sin. We are indwelt by God’s Spirit and have His power to resist temptation and obey. 

• United us with our Savior. We live in Christ and He lives in us. He is with us always, wherever we go. 

• Made us family. God is our heavenly Father, and we are His sons and daughters. Our spiritual family extends all over the world. 

• Transferred us into the kingdom of light. The world is ruled by darkness, but anyone who calls Jesus “Savior” lives in the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12-13). We are citizens of heaven. 

• Gave us an eternal inheritance. We’ve already inherited the promises of Scripture, but more awaits us in heaven (1 Peter 1:4).

• Initiated sanctification. To sanctify means “to make holy.” With our cooperation, the Spirit transforms us into Jesus’ likeness throughout our years on earth. 

When life wears you down, ponder all the ways God is actively healing you. He won’t give up on your redemption, even if you at times feel like giving up.” Amen! 🙌

Verse of the Day 12-1-22

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

Most unbelievable thing about ITSV was how tall spider noir was.(without getting into the teenager thing cause while I believe it with my whole heart it is still technically a HC and not confirmed)

1. He’s a Peter Parker variant, theoretically they should be the same height if they have roughly the same genetics.

2. People were actually shorter on average a 100 years ago, why is he a giant.

3. Look me in my goddamn eyes and tell me this man is getting all the nutrition he needs during the Great Depression with spider metabolism.

Me realizing Walker having blonde hair and blue eyes means i can make even more jokes about Percy being a Gwen Stacy variant:

5 Times Tony’s Intern Almost Called Him “Dad” + 1 Time He Did

The title explains it. :) A quick 5+1 for Comfortember 2023.

It should be updated often and finished within this next week!

@comfortember Alt 3 - Travel

@flufftober 5 - x+1

(This is doing my best to satisfy a request from @Hailey. Peter calling Tony "Dad" is not something I've thought about writing much, since I have to get kind of creative to justify something like that in my head (short of adoption, which I've only written in my soulmate series, and he definitely calls Peter "Dad" there...)

"THAT CONTAINER IS LYING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS"

Matthew 7:15, “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you LOOKING LIKE SHEEP on the OUTSIDE, but on the INSIDE they are really like wild WOLVES.” (GNT) My two favorite seasons are Winter and Fall! Winter, because I love Christmas, snow, carols, decorations and the like. And Fall, because I love the colors, Thanksgiving, the start of the scent of fireplaces, but most of all,…

“Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, “Can it really be that God has said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God said, ‘You shall not eat from it nor touch it, otherwise you will die.’ ” But the serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened [that is, you will have greater awareness], and you will be like God, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.” —Genesis 3:1‭-‬5 (AMP)

“The enemy didn't tempt Adam and Eve to murder, steal, or tell a lie. He tempted them to question the word of God. His tactics haven't changed.”

“He was a murderer from the beginning. He never stood for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he reveals his true character, for he's a liar and the father of lies.” —John 8:44b (FBV)

“Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.” —1 Peter 5:8 (AMPC)

3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
