Below is a list of passages referred to in each section of Journey Into New Life. Passages are given rather than individual verses because we should always look at the context of any statement from the Bible. It is the context which helps us to understand more accurately how the truth contained in the Scriptures applies to our lives today. Passages which have the verses in brackets should be read in full, though the verses given are the most directly relevant.
