I Thess. 3:12,13 I can comfort Christians who have lost loved ones. I Thess. 4:13-18 I have a blessed hope. Titus 2:12,13 I should attend church and encourage others there. Heb. 10:25 I must be patient and stand firm. James 5:8 I will purify myself. I John 3:2,3 I should keep myself in God’s love and win souls. Jude 20-23
