The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)

For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:21–22)

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless. (1 Corinthians 15:17 NAS)

Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. (John 15:15 NLT)
