Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 1
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." 2
Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 3
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: 4
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. 5
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 6
Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 7
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. 8
for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 9
