    Isaiah was a prophet, who was said to have found his calling, when he prophesized about the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, for forgiveness of our sins and eternal salvation, 700 years before Jesus' birth.

    Isaiah 53:1-12​
    ​
    1 "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

    2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

    3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

    4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

    5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

    6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

    7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

    8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

    9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

    10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

    11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
    ​
    12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

    Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    Isaiah 66 ERV

    God Will Judge All Nations​

    66 "This is what the Lord says:

    “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is where I rest my feet.

    So do you think you can build a house for me? Do I need a place to rest?

    2 I am the one who made all things. They are all here because I made them,” says the Lord.

    “These are the people I care for: the poor, humble people who obey my commands.

    3 Some people kill bulls as a sacrifice, but they also beat people.

    They kill sheep as a sacrifice, but they also break the necks of dogs.

    They offer up grain offerings, but they also offer the blood of pigs.

    They burn incense, but they also love their worthless idols.

    They choose their own ways, and they love their terrible idols.

    4 So I decided to use their own tricks. I will punish them using what they are most afraid of.

    I will do this because I called to them,
        but they did not answer.

    I spoke to them,
        but they did not listen.

    They did what I said is evil.
        They chose to do what I did not like.”

    5 You who obey the Lord’s commands, listen to what he says:

    “Your brothers hated you. They turned against you because you followed me.

    Your brothers said, ‘When the Lord shows his glory, then we will rejoice with you.’

        But they will be punished.”

    Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    Romans 1:28-32

    28 "    People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own worthless thinking. And so they do what they should not do.

    29 They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. They gossip

    30 and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude, proud, and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents,

    31 they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others.

    32 They know God’s law says that anyone who lives like that should die. But they not only continue to do these things themselves, but they also encourage others who do them."

    Romans 2:1-11

    Let God Be the Judge
    ​
    1 "So do you think that you can judge those other people? You are wrong. You too are guilty of sin. You judge them, but you do the same things they do. So when you judge them, you are really condemning yourself.

    2 God judges all who do such things, and we know his judgment is right.

    3 And since you do the same things as those people you judge, surely you understand that God will punish you too. How could you think you would be able to escape his judgment

    4 God has been kind to you. He has been very patient, waiting for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Maybe you don’t understand that God is kind to you so that you will decide to change your lives.

    5 But you are so stubborn! You refuse to change. So you are making your own punishment greater and greater. You will be punished on the day when God will show his anger. On that day everyone will see how right God is to judge people.

    6 He will reward or punish everyone for what they have done.

    7 Some people live for God’s glory, for honor, and for life that cannot be destroyed. They live for those things by always continuing to do good. God will give eternal life to them.

    8 But others are selfish and refuse to follow truth. They follow evil. God will show his anger and punish them.

    9 He will give trouble and suffering to everyone who does evil—to the Jews first and also to those who are not Jews.

    10 But he will give glory, honor, and peace to everyone who does good—to the Jews first and also to those who are not Jews.

    ​11 God judges everyone the same. It doesn’t matter who they are."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    Galatians 5:13-15

    13 "My brothers and sisters, God chose you to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful selves. Instead, serve each other with love.

    14 The whole law is made complete in this one command: “Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.”

    15 If you continue hurting each other and tearing each other apart, be careful, or you will completely destroy each other."

    Galatians 5:19-25

    19 "The wrong things the sinful self does are clear: committing sexual sin, being morally bad, doing all kinds of shameful things,

    20 worshiping false gods, taking part in witchcraft, hating people, causing trouble, being jealous, angry or selfish, causing people to argue and divide into separate groups,

    21 being filled with envy, getting drunk, having wild parties, and doing other things like this. I warn you now as I warned you before: The people who do these things will not have a part in God’s kingdom. 

    22 But the fruit that the Spirit produces in a person’s life is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

    23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these kinds of things.

    24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their sinful self. They have given up their old selfish feelings and the evil things they wanted to do.

    25 We get our new life from the Spirit, so we should follow the Spirit.

    ​    26 We must not feel proud and boast about ourselves. We must not cause trouble for each other or be jealous of each other."

    Romans 12:1-21

    Give Your Lives to God

    1 "So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way.

    2 Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.

    3 God has given me a special gift, and that is why I have something to say to each one of you. Don’t think that you are better than you really are. You must see yourself just as you are. Decide what you are by the faith God has given each of us.

    4 Each one of us has one body, and that body has many parts. These parts don’t all do the same thing.

    5 In the same way, we are many people, but in Christ we are all one body. We are the parts of that body, and each part belongs to all the others.

    6 We all have different gifts. Each gift came because of the grace God gave us. Whoever has the gift of prophecy should use that gift in a way that fits the kind of faith they have.

    7 Whoever has the gift of serving should serve. Whoever has the gift of teaching should teach.

    8 Whoever has the gift of comforting others should do that. Whoever has the gift of giving to help others should give generously. Whoever has the gift of leading should work hard at it. Whoever has the gift of showing kindness to others should do it gladly.

    9 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good.

    10 Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honor than you give yourself.

    11 As you serve the Lord, work hard and don’t be lazy. Be excited about serving him!

    12 Be happy because of the hope you have. Be patient when you have troubles. Pray all the time.

    13 Share with God’s people who need help. Look for people who need help and welcome them into your homes.

    14 Wish only good for those who treat you badly. Ask God to bless them, not curse them.

    15 When others are happy, you should be happy with them. And when others are sad, you should be sad too.

    16 Live together in peace with each other. Don’t be proud, but be willing to be friends with people who are not important to others. Don’t think of yourself as smarter than everyone else.

    17 If someone does you wrong, don’t try to pay them back by hurting them. Try to do what everyone thinks is right.

    18 Do the best you can to live in peace with everyone. 

    ​19 My friends, don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. In the Scriptures the Lord says,

    'I am the one who punishes;
        I will pay people back.'

    20 But you should do this:

    'If you have enemies who are hungry,
        give them something to eat.
    If you have enemies who are thirsty,
        give them something to drink.
    In doing this you will make them feel ashamed.'

    21 Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    ​Jude 1:17-23

    17 "    Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen.

    18 They told you, 'In the last times there will be people who laugh at God and do only what they want to do—things that are against God.'

    19 These are the people who divide you. They are not spiritual, because they don’t have the Spirit.

    20 But you, dear friends, use your most holy faith to build yourselves up even stronger. Pray with the help of the Holy Spirit.

    21 Keep yourselves safe in God’s love, as you wait for the Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life.

    22 Help those who have doubts.

    ​23 Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire. There are others you should treat with mercy, but be very careful that their filthy lives don’t rub off on you."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!
