A lot of your answers were so good..
JeffC you are right there is nothing we can do to earn our way to heaven.. JESUS said HE is the way, the truth and the life..
Robin.. Yes God is our strength. Alone we could not do anything..
Booth.. I know and I am glad GOD is in control. I know that no matter what happens in our lives GOD is the one in control. We may not understand why HE allows certain things, but its not our understanding its HIS.

Yes I do. :) Romans 8:28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[a] who[b] have been called according to his purpose.
The reason it is my favorite is because it is so true in my life. Everytime I do something it has worked out..because it pleases God. My life has been an uphill battle..with divorce, infertility, bad choices I have made. However God always wins in the end. I am the happiest when I am pleasing my Lord and Savior. His promises are true till the end. I only have to remember this verse when something is going wrong..and the answers come soon enough..and always work out to the best.
Praise GOD.

Psalms 127:3 reads-"Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovah, the fruitage of the belly is a reward." Within some 270 days, the original cell that was created within the mother as a result of her union with the father grows into a baby made up of trillions of cells. That original cell has within it the instructions needed to produce more than 200 kinds of cells. Following those marvelous instructions, which are beyond human understanding, these cells of stunning complexity develop in just the right order and manner to form a new living person. Only a God of infinite wisdom could be responsible for the miraculous formation of a new living human, such a precious little bundle of life. This is a gift that the Creator of life, and of the universe, has entrusted to you as parents. How thankful we should be to our heavenly Father, Jehovah, for making it possible to enjoy this precious inheritance-source: W 4-01-05, pages 15-18.....KECK

Isaiah 40:31 "They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
To me this means that no matter what goes on in my life, God is my strength. I don't have to rely on my own strength. His power and strength is sufficient in and for all things.

My favorite verse is John 3:16 cause it says that no matter how cruel this world gets that we will always have a savior to be there for us when we call upon his name to be saved. It also says that God knew that we would sin every day but with Jesus Christ paying the debt for our sins that we could always come to him and ask for forgiveness if we are just willing to admit that we are a sinner.

John 3:3 Jesus told Nicodemus 'I assure you,unless you are born again' you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven'
Ephesians 2 :8,9: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, {9} not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Most religions teach that works (aka sacraments) will save you and they completely ignore these verses.
Salvation is a GIFT. You cannot EARN a gift but it's up to ALL of us whether to receive it or reject it and either enjoy its eternal rewards in Heaven (by acceptance of Christ as one's Personal Savior) or eternal punishment (rejection and be cast into hell/lake of fire)
Jesus is coming soon,the question is,is He coming for you?

It's Matthew 5:8. It says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
I like it because it is the one thing in my life that says it is okay for me to cry. I like that verse the most out of the whole Bible, even though all of it is good.

Micah 6:8 because it sums up the message of the Bible, to love God and each other.

Proof of the Bible's validity. Hoo-rah!
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Why? It just seems appropriate. "If the brain offend the, pluck it out and cast it from the, saith the Lord. It is better to enter Heaven a complete idiot without a brain, than to be cast into hell where the worm never dies and the fire is not quenched." xx

Ps 139 [the entire chapter]
A few years ago I was unemployed and I woke up in the middle of the night once, worried sick about it. God just laid that Psalm number on my heart. The next morning I read it, and it was very comforting. That night in my Bible study group, somone read that chapter out loud, and they had no idea what had happend.
I have loved that chapter ever since.
1 O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17 How precious are your thoughts about me,[b] O God.
They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!
19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
20 They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
21 O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
