Act 1:8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

Ezekiel 11:19-20

2 Corinthians 3:3

1 Corinthians 8:9

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet
for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become
rich.

Romans 6:4–5 (NIV)

"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death
in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the
Father,
we too may live a new life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his,
we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his."
"When Jesus rose, it wasn't just a happy ending—it was the first day of new
creation.
The powers of sin, death, and empire were defeated from the inside out.

Colossians 2:13–15 (NIV)

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God
made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the
charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us;
he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle
of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Revelation 21:3–5 (NIV):

"And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
'Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with
them.
They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed away.'
He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!'"

Matthew 16:13-19
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
