Verses referenced in this teaching:

John1:11-13   ¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not.  ¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  ¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Romans 7:18-23   ¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  ¹⁹ For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.  ²⁰ Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  ²¹ I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  ²² For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  ²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

John 20:25-31  ²⁵ The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.  ²⁶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.  ²⁷ Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.  ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.  ²⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.  ³⁰ And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:  ³¹ But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Ephesians 3:16-21  ¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;  ¹⁷ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,  ¹⁸ May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;  ¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.  ²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,  ²¹ Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Colossians 1:13-22  ¹³ Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:  ¹⁴ In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:  ¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:  ¹⁶ For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:  ¹⁷ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.  ¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;  ²⁰ And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.  ²¹ And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled  ²² In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

2nd Peter 1:3-4   ³ According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:  ⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Hebrews 7:25  Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
