These four passages are the very words of Jesus. Later his disciples would encourage all followers of Jesus to stand in the grace which comes to us as we choose to humble ourselves.
We know the power of words, but often we underestimate their power in our lives. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Some people Scripture verses for encouragement and peace of mind, or to seek God’s will, but they’ll never read the Bible to know for themselves what God truly wants for their lives.
