1 Timothy 1:15 (NKJV)15This is a faithful saying and worthy

of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of

whom I am chief.

1 Timothy 2:4 (NKJV)4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)9The Lord is not slack concerning His

promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing

that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Ezekiel 3:17-21 (NKJV)17“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;

therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:

18When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no

warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his

iniquity;

but his blood I will require at your hand. 19Yet, if you warn the wicked,

and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,

he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. 20“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity,

and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because

you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness

which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will

require at your hand. 21Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he

took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”

Colossians 4:3 (NKJV)3meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ,

for which I am also in chains,

1 Corinthians 16:9 (NKJV)9For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many

adversaries.

2 Corinthians 2:12 (NKJV)12Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door

was opened to me by the Lord,

Acts 8:26-27 (NKJV)26Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes

down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. 27So he arose and went. And

behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had

come to Jerusalem to worship,

Acts 16:6-10 (NKJV)6Now when they had gone through

Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. 7After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9And a

vision appeared to Paul in the night.

A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over

to Macedonia and help us.” 10Now after he had seen the vision,

immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to

them.

Romans 10:1 (NKJV)1Brethren, my heart’s desire and

prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

Romans 9:1-3 (NKJV)1I tell the truth in Christ, I am not

lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3For I could wish that I myself

were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to

the flesh,

Acts 2:47 (NKJV)47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to

the church daily those who were being saved.

Acts 5:13 (NKJV)13Yet none of the rest dared join

them, but the people esteemed them highly.

Acts 19:19 (NKJV)19Also, many of those who had

practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand

pieces of silver.
