Col 1:15-18

Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 

Col 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. 

Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 

Col 1:18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 

Grace and Peace

Php 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Joh 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." 

Eph 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 

Eph 2:15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 

Eph 2:16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 

Eph 2:17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 

Eph 2:18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 

Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, 

Heb 13:21 equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 

1Pe 5:14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ. 

1Th 3:12-13

1Th 3:12 and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; 

1Th 3:13 so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

Happy Valentines day, Alesia!

Isaiah 25:7-8

Isa 25:7 On this mountain he will swallow up 
 the shroud that is over all the peoples, 
 the woven covering that is over all the nations;

Isa 25:8 he will swallow up death permanently. 
 The sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from every face,
 and remove his people's disgrace from all the earth.
 Indeed, the LORD has announced it!

Heb 10:12-25

Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 

Heb 10:24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 

Heb 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. 

Thanks to Alesia for the suggestion.
