The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,because he has anointed meto proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind,to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
Luke 4:18 (ESV)
My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you;keep my commandments and live;keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;bind them on your fingers;write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 7:1-3 (ESV)
And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
1 John 2:3-6 (ESV)
