"But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us....

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be

saved by his life ” (Rom 5:8, 10)

Romans 5: 8, 10

"Peace be with you.  As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.  If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." 

John 20:21-23

"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him."
