He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. … The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. – Thus it behoved Christ to suffer, … that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations. – He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, … to give repentance. – Through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. – Your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. – The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. – Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
The same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. … I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no savior. … I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. – They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: for the redemption of their soul is precious. – I have found a ransom. – God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
