Psalm 102:23-27 God broke my strength in midstride, cutting my days short. I said, “My God, don't take me away in the prime of life—your years go on from one generation to the next! You laid the earth's foundations long ago; the skies are your handiwork. These things will pass away, but your will last. All of these things are like clothing; you change them like clothes, and they pass on. But you are the one! Your years never end!
Job 23:1-7 Job answered: Today my complaint is again bitter; my strength is weighed down because of my groaning. Oh, that I could know how to find him—come to his dwelling place; I would lay out my case before him, fill my mouth with arguments, know the words with which he would answer, understand what he would say to me. Would he contend with me through brute force? No, he would surely listen to me. There those who do the right thing can argue with him; I could escape from my judge forever.
Revelation 14:6-7, 13 Then I saw another angel flying overhead with eternal good news to proclaim to those who live on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and springs of water.”
And I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Favored are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they can rest from their labors, because their deeds follow them.”
Matthew 5:17-20 “...Don't even begin to think that I have come to do away with the Law and the Prophets. I haven't come to do away with them but to fulfill them. I say to you very seriously that as long as heaven and earth exist, neither the smallest letter nor even the smallest stroke of a pen will be erased from the Law until everything there becomes a reality. Therefore, whoever ignores even the least of these commands and teaches others to do the same will be called the lowest in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps these commands and teaches people to keep them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. I say to you that unless your righteousness is greater than the righteousness of the legal experts and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven...”
