Scriptures
2 Chronicles 7:13-14 MEV “When I shut up the heaven and there is no rain, or when I command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence on My people, if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Jeremiah 22:29 KJV O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
Genesis 50:20 MEV But as for you, you intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many lives.
Galatians 6:7 MEV Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.
Romans 10:9-13 MEV That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, for with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be ashamed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is generous toward all who call upon Him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
