John 3:31-36.
The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.

You are Peter and on this rock I will build MY church and the gates of hell shall NOT prevail against it. - Matthew 16:18
Beautiful Gospel. It tells us that not by faith alone can we reach heaven. We must strive for perfection. I am so grateful for the sacrament of confession, without it how could we ever become Saints on earth.
