JESUS is the Cornerstone

Have you not read this Scripture: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; Mark 12:10

For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
1Peter 2:6-8

The Peace of Christ


   
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.     John 14:27

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.   Numbers 6:24-26

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.   Romans 5:1


Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
                                                                                                                             Hebrews 12:14
 
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
                                                                                                                              2Peter 1:2

Love one another


As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

Do not judge by appearances


                          Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."   John 7:24

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.   1John 4:1
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.   Matthew 7:15
                                                                                                                            
And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.  Matthew 24:11

Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.    Matthew 24:23-24
