Proverbs
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:7

The Word
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:16-18

Beatitudes
“Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy."

Matthew 5:7

Conviction
“Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.”

J.C. Ryle

Psalms
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.

Psalm 51:17
