And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. Matthew 24:11

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Galatians 3:1

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a pitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. Romans 3:23-25

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:16-18

And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3

This song came up on my iPod yesterday while I was folding laundry…
Beloved
by Derek Webb

beloved, these are dangerous times
cause you are weightless like a leaf from the vine
and the wind has blown you all over town
there is nothing holding you to the ground

so now you’d rather be a slave again than free
from the law

beloved, listen to me
don’t believe all that you see
and don’t you ever let anyone tell you
that there’s anything that you need
but me

beloved, these are perilous days
when your culture is so set in its ways
but you will listen to salesmen and thieves
preaching other than the truth you’ve received

cause they are telling lies
for they cannot circumcise your heart

beloved, listen to me
don’t believe all that you see
and don’t you ever let
anyone tell you that
there’s anything that you need
but me

beloved, there is nothing more
no more blessings
and no more rewards
than the treasure of my body and blood
given freely to all daughters and sons

to all daughters and sons

all my daughters and sons

to all daughters and sons

(“Beloved” comes from Webb’s album, She Must and Shall Go Free, a compilation of songs written to the church. Several of them are written from Jesus’ perspective, like this one. It’s an excellent album).
