Take Heart

John 16:29-33 (NKJV)
29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!
30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

¡Tened Ánimo!

Juan 16:29-33 (NVI)
29 ―Ahora sí estás hablando directamente, sin vueltas ni rodeos —le dijeron sus discípulos—.
30 Ya podemos ver que sabes todas las cosas, y que ni siquiera necesitas que nadie te haga preguntas. Por esto creemos que saliste de Dios.
31 ―¿Ahora me creéis? —contestó Jesús—.
32 Mirad que la hora viene, y ya está aquí, en que seréis dispersados, y cada uno se irá a su propia casa y a mí me dejaréis solo. Sin embargo, solo no estoy, porque el Padre está conmigo.
33 Yo os he dicho estas cosas para que en mí tengáis paz. En este mundo tendréis aflicciones, pero ¡tened ánimo! Yo he vencido al mundo.

In the Presence of God

Psalms 16:5-11 (NKJV)
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

En La Presencia de Dios

Salmo 16:5-11 (NVI)
5 Tú, Señor, eres mi porción y mi copa;
eres tú quien ha afirmado mi suerte.
6 Bellos lugares me han tocado en gracia;
¡preciosa herencia me ha correspondido!
7 Bendeciré al Señor, que me aconseja;
aun de noche me reprende mi conciencia.
8 Siempre tengo presente al Señor;
con él a mi derecha, nada me hará caer.
9 Por eso mi corazón se alegra,
y se regocijan mis entrañas;
todo mi ser se llena de confianza.
10 No dejarás que mi vida termine en el sepulcro;
no permitirás que sufra corrupción tu siervo fiel.
11 Me has dado a conocer la senda de la vida;
me llenarás de alegría en tu presencia,
y de dicha eterna a tu derecha.

Righteousness Through Faith

Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
