WHEREAS, The promises of God are stated thusly in the Gospel
of John: "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;

of love, hope, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
wisdom, and strength to sustain us through the life He has given us;
and

might, He increases strength; and
WHEREAS, Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid because
of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you
nor forsake you; and

from Him, showing the way of Salvation, through His Son, Jesus
Christ, the Truth and Life, and encouraging the lives of many; and
