  6. 1 John 4:17-18 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

  10. Matthew 16:24-25Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Philippians 1:29For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake... Philippians 3:10…that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death… 1 Peter 2:20-21For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer for it, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps... Suffering: scriptural support

  15. “What did He predestinate of them? Not that they should love God. Not that they should believe; nor that some should be saved and others damned; but that those who he saw beforehand would love God, should be conformed to the image of his Son. The only thing predestinated, or foreordained, is that those who love God as revealed in Christ shall become Christ-like in life, and like Christ in eternity. This is the only decree in the passage.”People’s New Testament Commentary

  16. Matthew 9:13 “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Matthew 22:3 “...and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.” “Called” — kaleo-summoned by God to salvation (Ryrie)

Luke 18:14 “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” “Justified” — dikaioo(from dikaios, righteousness, just, etc.)

  18. John 17:5“And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” Zechariah 3:3-5 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him.
