Scripture –
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
1 John 4: 13-16 (NIV)
Cómo sabemos que permanecemos en él, y que él permanece en nosotros? Porque nos ha dado de su Espíritu. Y nosotros hemos visto y declaramos que el Padre envió a su Hijo para ser el Salvador del mundo. Si alguien reconoce que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, Dios permanece en él, y él en Dios. Y nosotros hemos llegado a saber y creer que Dios nos ama.
Dios es amor. El que permanece en amor, permanece en Dios, y Dios en él.
1 Juan 4: 13-16 (NVI)

Pero Dios, que es rico en misericordia, por su gran amor por nosotros, nos dio vida con Cristo, aun cuando estábamos muertos en pecados. ¡Por gracia ustedes han sido salvados!

Scripture –
…saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."
But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.
"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.
"He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
"And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."
Acts 5: 28-32
Terminantemente les hemos prohibido enseñar en ese nombre. Sin embargo, ustedes han llenado a Jerusalén con sus enseñanzas, y se han propuesto echarnos la culpa a nosotros de la muerte de ese hombre. Es necesario obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres! —respondieron Pedro y los demás apóstoles—. El Dios de nuestros antepasados resucitó a Jesús, a quien ustedes mataron colgándolo de un madero. Por su poder, Dios lo exaltó como Príncipe y Salvador, para que diera a Israel arrepentimiento y perdón de pecados. Nosotros somos testigos de estos acontecimientos, y también lo es el Espíritu Santo que Dios ha dado a quienes le obedecen.

Scripture –
How can a young person live a clean life?
By carefully reading the map of your Word.
I'm single-minded in pursuit of you;
don't let me miss the road signs you've posted.
I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart
so I won't sin myself bankrupt.
Be blessed, God;
train me in your ways of wise living.
I'll transfer to my lips
all the counsel that comes from your mouth;
I delight far more in what you tell me about living
than in gathering a pile of riches.
I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you,
I attentively watch how you've done it.
I relish everything you've told me of life,
I won't forget a word of it.
Psalm 119: 9-16 (The Message)
Cómo puede el joven llevar una vida íntegra?
Viviendo conforme a tu palabra.
Yo te busco con todo el corazón;
no dejes que me desvíe de tus mandamientos.
En mi corazón atesoro tus dichos
para no pecar contra ti.
Bendito seas, Señor!
Enséñame tus decretos!
Con mis labios he proclamado
todos los juicios que has emitido.
Me regocijo en el *camino de tus estatutos
más que en todas las riquezas.
En tus preceptos medito,
y pongo mis ojos en tus sendas.
En tus decretos hallo mi deleite,
y jamás olvidaré tu palabra.
