For a long time, my best passage used to be Ephesians 4:22-32, cos it kinda just tells what the New person should be and not to be. But as I read on, and God revealed more of Himself to me, I started having numerous besties of Bible passages... For example Colossians 3:4 that says the Jesus is my Life; Ephesians 1:3 that says I am blessed with All spiritual blessings in Heavenly places; or 1 John 4:17 that says that Just as He is, so am I in this world; and Ephesians 3:15 that says I am named of Him; Or Ephesians 3:20 that describes God's ability to do exceedingly abundantly above what I can ask or think; by the power that works in me ---- inside of ME! Wow! But so far, I think the one that still trumps them all for me is 2 Corinthians 3:18 that calls me the righteousness of God in Christ. I mean, so, God has cleansed me so much, replaced my life with His, changed my surname from Lasisi to His own glorious Name, made me exactly like Him, put His mighty power at work in me, and then finally says "in fact, if you want to see righteousness, just look at Temi; she is my righteousness in Christ"..... Amazingly Amazinggggggggggggg! I loooooooovvveeeeee the Bible.... Bestest book ever!
