What scriptures for Jesus is the answer?
John 14:13–14 (NKJV) says, "Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." Jesus' Name is the answer to all of our problems. That Name opens up everything we need.

Jesus Christ, who paid the wages of our sin, will not choose who may go and who will stay. He will usher us to the path leading to God. It is our choice whether to accept the gift that God has given us, believe in or not. God will grant His promise of eternal life with Him in Heaven.
The sufficiency of Scripture also means that Scripture itself is sufficient to interpret Scripture. This was a very big deal during the Reformation. The Reformers talked about “Sola Scriptura”, a Latin phrase meaning “Scripture alone”.
Jesus does not answer their question directly. You don't have to give a direct answer to every question that you are asked, especially with someone who is antagonistic. Jesus' pattern was to speak openly to people whose hearts were open, and indirectly to people whose hearts were closed.
'” John 8:58 “Jesus answered them: 'I solemnly declare it: before Abraham came to be, I AM.” [This was the name God gave himself when he first communicated with Moses, Exodus 3:14 “God replied, 'I am who am. ' Then he added, 'This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you.

Why is this passage in scripture? Why did God put this passage in the Bible? 3. How do I apply this to my life?
John 20:22 is the twenty-second verse of the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. It records Jesus giving the Spirit to the disciples during his first appearance after the resurrection. Jesus gives Holy Spirit. John 20:22. ← 20:21.
What is Acts 2 42?
Acts 2:42, NLT: All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer. Acts 2:42, CSB: They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.
Explanation and Commentary of John 8:12
Anyone who struggles to understand the world needs only look to Christ in and by whom all things are illuminated. In Christ all the questions are answered: How did we get here; what's wrong with the world; how can it be fixed; what is the meaning of life; how should we live?

This is the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture. The Bible is enough; it is sufficient; it is complete. Let's explain this in more detail. A simple definition of the sufficiency of Scripture is the Bible contains all the information God wants us to know in order to live a life that pleases him.
Psalm 73:26 NKJV - God Is Enough For Me.
Hebrews 9:12, 26
So by saying “it is finished” Jesus was signaling to the Jewish world that there was no more need for sacrifices or temples because that his work brought ultimate fulfillment to what their sacrificial system foreshadowed.
John states that Jesus was first questioned by Annas, Caiaphas's father-in-law who had previously served as high priest, and as head of the Annas family was probably considered a leading authority on religious matters. Following a brief hearing, Jesus was then referred to Caiaphas (John 18:13-24).
God hears all your prayers (Psalm 139:4, 1 John 5:14–15, 1 Peter 3:12) and, in one sense, he answers all your prayers. But we do not always receive what we ask for. When we ask God for something, the response will be 'Yes' or 'No' or 'Wait'.
He knew all of the answers and yet he focused so much of his interaction with people on asking them questions. The four Gospels record 339 questions that Jesus asked.
See how Jesus said it in Hebrews 8:6-13 and Matthew 9:16-17. In Matthew 5:17-18, Jesus says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Of course, Jesus was a Jew. He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship, what we call synagogues.
What version of Bible is the Jesus Bible?
All About One Name. Encounter the living Jesus in all of Scripture. From the Passion movement, The Jesus Bible, NIV Edition, lifts Jesus up as the lead story of the Bible and encourages you to faithfully follow him as you participate in his story.
The New American Standard Bible is a literal translation from the original texts, well suited to study because of its accurate rendering of the source texts. It follows the style of the King James Version but uses modern English for words that have fallen out of use or changed their meanings.
Most balanced: NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition. Best for DIY Bible study: NASB New Inductive Study Bible. Much of what has become OverviewBible began in the notes and margins of my own New Inductive Study Bible. Best for academic study: Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible (NIV, NKJV, and NRSV).
We often refer to Jesus as Jesus Christ, and some people assume that Christ is Jesus's last name. But Christ is actually a title, not a last name. So if Christ isn't a last name, what was Jesus's last name? The answer is Jesus didn't have a formal last name or surname like we do today.
Most religious scholars and historians agree with Pope Francis that the historical Jesus principally spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic. Through trade, invasions and conquest, the Aramaic language had spread far afield by the 7th century B.C., and would become the lingua franca in much of the Middle East.
Jesus used two teaching methods—storytelling and a teachable moment—to illustrate and summarize this truth into three words: The Good Samaritan. These three words bring to memory an example of what it takes to be a good neighbor and shows an example of love.
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
In The 3 Keys to the Kingdom: Binding, Loosing, and Knowledge, Mary Garrison imparts the wisdom she's gathered during her years of ministry.
John 19:30, ESV: When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:30, KJV: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
What does it mean open your mouth and I will fill it?
Psalms 81:10-16 AMP. God says to His people, "Open your mouth and I will fill it!" This statement implies several things—dependency, faith, trust, and an act of obedience on our part. On God's part, it implies commitment, faithfulness and provision. Think of a nest of hungry baby birds.
We believe we must be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (through an ordinance called confirmation) to be saved in the kingdom of heaven. The Savior taught, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5).
Holy Spirit sets apart (13:2-3) After introducing us to the leaders of the Antioch church, Luke tells us that the church is “worshiping the Lord and fasting” (13:2). He doesn't explain why the disciples are fasting, but some reason is probably behind it.
Acts 2:42 says that the believers committed themselves to the doctrine of the Apostles, to community and to prayer. We believe committing ourselves to these same core principles will lead to the same unity, the same fellowship, the same miracles and the same Spirit-led life they experienced.
The description given in Acts 2:42-47 suggests what the Holy Spirit can do. These verses do not lay down rules or specific structures for Christian living. In their context they indicate that the reign of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ creates the potential for mutual service that embodies God's justice.
Ephesians 5:8, NLT: For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!
“Jesus wants every one of us to know him because of the transforming power of that knowledge and because of the indescribable joy it brings into our lives. But the influence of the gospel is to extend beyond each individual. It is to be as a light that dispels the darkness from the lives of those around us.
In Isaiah 41:10, God says to “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” I cannot emphasize enough how this is one of my favorite verses about strength!
What Does My Grace Is Sufficient For You Mean? ANSWER: It means that God chooses to display His power in us by sustaining us in our weakness. Think about all the ways God displays his power.
The Apostle Paul taught how the scriptures bless our lives. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Is the Bible all you need?
Most Protestant Christians believe that the Bible is the only source concerning faith. According to them, there is no need for Apostolic Tradition or an authoritative, teaching Church. All that they need is the Bible in order to learn about the faith and to live a Christian life.
1 Chronicles 21:15. God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, the LORD saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Colossians 1:15–20, He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Colossians 2:9, NLT For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. 2 Corinthians 12:9, ESV But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
The Bible Is Sufficient
Likewise, Paul says, the Bible is so complete that through it we can be “thoroughly equipped for every good work”—“thoroughly” and “every,” not “partly” and “most” (2 Tim. 3:16).
“When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 'It is finished,' and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit” (John 19:30).
"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
In today's Bible passage the Lord Jesus explains why he is the answer. He offers to give us rest for our souls by making us God's children. He is, in the words of that song, “A ray of hope in a hopeless world.” All we need to do is accept his invitation to come to him—and when we do, we will find rest for our souls.

What is Psalm 145 18?
Psalm 145:18 reminds us: “The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” Our prayers should reflect the character of God as revealed in history, in Scripture, and most of all in Jesus Christ. They should take into account God's will for us.
In a world full of so many questions, it seems impossible to have all the answers. But that's exactly who Jesus is: the answer. Jesus came to this earth to rescue us from a world full of sin, obstacles and suffering. Essentially, He was God's answer to all the questions we deal with.
Loving the people who are in distress is equal to worshipping God. One should serve others without expecting anything from them. Serving people is equal to the worship of God. If one repents for his mistakes God will forgive him.
The truth is, God always answers our prayers. Sometimes his answer is "no," sometimes it's "wait," and sometimes it's "yes." Whatever God gives as an answer we can always be assured that it is the right answer for us.
God hears all your prayers (Psalm 139:4, 1 John 5:14–15, 1 Peter 3:12) and, in one sense, he answers all your prayers. But we do not always receive what we ask for. When we ask God for something, the response will be 'Yes' or 'No' or 'Wait'.
Because He is good and knows what's eternally best for us, and doesn't want us to settle, God sometimes says no or closes a door because He has something better for us that we haven't even thought to ask for. He is One who can do “immeasurably more” than all we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
Through the scriptures, we are taught that God will always hear our prayers and will answer them if we address Him with faith and real intent. In our hearts we will feel the confirmation that He does hear us, a feeling of peace and calm. We can also feel that everything will be fine when we follow the Father's will.
Cry to Him, “LORD LIFT ME” and He will answer you speedily. (4) Another very important prayer that God delights to answer is “LORD BLESS ME.” The Prayer of Jabesh was not long, he asked God for “indeed blessing” or “blessing indeed.” His life was transformed with the prevalent of “the Blessing of the LORD.
God answers prayer to bring glory to His name. Keeping this in mind, when we pray risky, crazy, impossible prayers, God will answer them in a way that brings Him glory.
' Romans 10:13, ESV: For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13, KJV: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13, NASB: for 'EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.
What is Proverbs 16 24?
Proverbs 16:24, NIV: Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24, ESV: Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
