5. GENESIS 1:26, 31
Now let Us conceive a new creation—
humanity—made in Our image, fashioned
according to Our likeness.
Then God surveyed everything He had
made, savoring its beauty and appreciating
its goodness.

6. GENESIS 3:19, 22
From dust you have come and to dust you
shall return.
Look, the human has become like one of
Us, possessing the knowledge of good and
evil. If We don’t do something, he will reach
out his hand and take some of the fruit
from the tree of life, eat it, and live forever.

8. GENESIS 12:1-2 (VOICE)
One day, the Eternal One called out to Abram.
“Abram, get up and go! Leave your country. Leave
your relatives and your father’s home, and travel to
the land I will show you. Don’t worry—I will guide
you there.”
I have plans to make a great people from your
descendants.And I am going to put a special blessing
on you and cause your reputation to grow so that
you will become a blessing and example to others.

9. GENESIS 15:9, 10, 12 (VOICE)
Bring to Me the following: a three-year-old cow, a
three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a
turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Abram brought God all of these animals and cut
them in two, laying each half next to the other,
making two rows.
As the sun was setting in the west,Abram fell into
a deep sleep.

10. GENESIS 15:17-18 (VOICE)
When the sun had gone down and darkness
had fallen, a smoking firepot and a flaming
torch passed between the halves of the
animal carcasses.
With this ritual and on this day, the Eternal
One made a covenant with Abram.

12. DEUTERONOMY 11:26-28
Look, you’ve got two choices: you can be blessed, or
you can be cursed.
If you obey His commands, which I’m giving you
today, you’ll be blessed.
If you don’t obey His commands—if you leave the
path I’m showing you today so you can worship
other gods who are foreign to you, then you’ll be
cursed.

14. GRACE: HEBREWS 9:15-16 (VOICE)
This is why Jesus is the mediator of the new
covenant: through His death, He delivered us
from the sins that we had built up under the first
covenant, and His death has made it possible for
all who are called to receive God’s promised
inheritance.
For whenever there is a testament—a will—the
death of the one who made it must be confirmed

15. GRACE: HEBREWS 9:17-18 (VOICE)
because a will takes effect only at the
death of its maker; it has no validity as long
as the maker is still alive.
Even the first testament—the first
covenant—required blood to be put into
action.

16. GRACE: HEBREWS 10:11-12 (VOICE)
In the first covenant, every day every
officiating priest stands at his post serving,
offering over and over those same sacrifices
that can never take away sin.
But after He stepped up to offer His single
sacrifice for sins for all time, He sat down in
the position of honor at the right hand of God.

17. GRACE: HEBREWS 10:14,17-18 (VOICE)
With one perfect offering, Jesus has perfected
forever those who are being made holy,
I will erase their sins and wicked acts out of
My memory as though they had never existed.
When there is forgiveness such as this, there is
no longer any need to make an offering for sin.

18. LOVE: JOHN 13:34 (VOICE)
“So I give you now a new commandment:
Love each other just as much as I have loved
you. For when you demonstrate the same love
I have for you by loving one another, everyone
will know that you’re my true followers.”
~Jesus

19. ETERNAL LIFE: JOHN 11:25-26 (VOICE)
“I am the Resurrection, and I am Life Eternal.
Anyone who clings to me in faith, even
though that person dies, will live forever.And
the one who lives by believing in me will
never die. Do you believe this?”
~Jesus

21. Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s
righteousness to us and he now declares us
flawless in his eyes. This means we can now
enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all
because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed
One, has done for us. Our faith guarantees us
access into this marvelous kindness that has
given us a perfect relationship with God.
What incredible joy bursts forth within us as
we keep on celebrating our hope of
experiencing God’s glory.
(Romans 5:1-2 TPT)

22. We can now experience the
endless love of God cascading
into our hearts through the Holy
Spirit who lives in us!
(Romans 5:5 TPT)

23. And this free-flowing gift imparts to us
much more than what was given to us
through the one who sinned. For
because of one transgression, we are all
facing a death sentence with a verdict of
“Guilty!” But this gracious gift leaves us
free from our many failures and brings us
into the perfect righteousness of God—
acquitted with the words “Not Guilty!”
(Romans 5:16 TPT)
