The Sum Of Your Word Is Truth

 

"Consider how I love Your precepts; revive me and give life to me, O Lord,
according to Your loving-kindness!  The sum of Your words is truth, the total
of the full meaning of all Your individual precepts; and every one of Your
righteous decrees endures forever.  Great peace have they who love Your law;
nothing shall offend them or make them stumble."
(Psalm 119:159, 160, 165)

"For length of days and years of a life worth living and tranquility inward and
 outward and continuing through old age till death, these shall be added to you."
(Proverbs 3:2)


"And the effect of righteousness will be peace, internal and external, and the
result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.  My people
shall dwell in peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings and quiet resting-places."
(Isaiah 32:17-18)

"Sow for yourself according to righteousness, uprightness and right standing
with God; reap according to mercy and loving-kindness.  Break up your
uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him,
and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and
rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you."
(Hosea 10:12)

"After all, the kingdom of God is not a matter of getting the food and drink
one likes, but instead it is righteousness, that state which a person is acceptable
to God and heart peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
(Romans 14:17)


"And God Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will
also provide and multiply your resources for sowing and increase 
 the fruits of your righteousness which manifests itself 
in active goodness, kindness, and charity."
(11 Corinthians 9:10)


"For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful;
but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have
been trained by it, a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness- in
conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in
right living and right standing with God."
(Hebrews 12:11)


"And the harvest of righteousness and conformity to God's will in thought
 and deed is the fruit of the seed sown in peace by those who work for
 and make peace themselves and in others, that peace which means
concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with 
undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears 
and agitating passions and moral conflicts."
(James 3:18)
