Psalm 139:14-16 New English Translation (NET Bible)
14 I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing.[a]
You knew me thoroughly;[b]
15 my bones were not hidden from you,
when[c] I was made in secret
and sewed together in the depths of the earth.[d]
16 Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb.[e]
All the days ordained for me
were recorded in your scroll
before one of them came into existence.[f]
Ephesians 1:3-4
3 Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ, 4 just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight.…
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption [that is, our deliverance and salvation] through His blood, [which paid the penalty for our sin and resulted in] the forgiveness and complete pardon of our sin, in accordance with the riches of His grace
Colossians 2:13
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (worldliness, manner of life), God made you alive together with Christ, having [freely] forgiven us all our sins,
Hebrews 10:18
Now where there is [absolute] forgiveness and complete cancellation of the penalty of these things, there is no longer any offering [to be made to atone] for sin.
John 3:16-17
16 “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him.
