Stacey:
1 Timothy 4: 9-10
9. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Romans 8:20-21
20. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Romans 8:38-39
38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 9:15-16
15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Samson:
Good Morning Marques,
Definitely, a good idea for a Thread. It's certainly difficult to narrow it down to those Scriptures that had the most impact on me. Below, I will list the Scriptures of choice with a comment too.
1) Acts. 24:15 " I have hope in God, which they themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the unjust and the just."
Comment: Resurrection is translated from the Greek Word Anastasis which literally means " to stand again " or " a raising up." It's wonderfull to know that everyone will eventually receive a Resurrection and they will learn righteousness.
2) 2 Peter. 3:9 " The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward all, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
Comment: God is Not(Greek- "Ou" meaning none, no, never, not) Willing THAT ANY Perish. Whatever God Wills always comes to pass and since He wills that none perish, there cannot be any person in that category, a group that has no one in it.
3) 1 John. 4:8 " God is Love."
Comment: Theologians like to say that God is Love only in context and it's only one of His qualities, but this Scripture says: God IS Love. The word IS denotes " A State of Being." And since Love never fails(1Cor. 13:8), there can't be one instance where God's Love fails. And it certainly isn't Love to punish Humans endlessly for their finite sins, this would fall short of God's Love.
4) 1 Timothy. 2:3,4 " For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth."
Comment: Although the Greek Word "Pas" translated "All" can mean " As many as," "some,""most" or everyone, in almost everywhere else it's used, Theologians will say it means everyone, except in the Scriptures that pertain to Salvation Of All. How Convenient ! As Ray ponted out in his Article: " Does All mean All," Show me a Scripture where God says He will not save all. If they(Theologians) had such a Scripture, they would be using it right away, so they have to take a Scripture that says " All will be saved," and twist it to not mean "All will be saved."
5) 1 John. 4:14 " And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the World."
Comment: Jesus commission is to Save the World and He does a perfect job at it by saving everyone. He will not fall short in this commission.
6) 1 John. 2:2 " And He is a proptiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not ours only but also for the whole worlds."
Comment: Propitiation from the Greek Word " Hilasmos" meaning " an expiation, a means whereby sin is covered and remitted." He(Christ) is the Sin Offering for the sake of the Whole World.
7) Phillipians. 2:10,11 " so in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in Heaven and those on Earth and those under the ground, and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."
Comment: Obviously, this hasn't happened yet, for everyone. When God is all in all, every(all) knees will bend(spiritually speaking) to the glory of God the Father confessing that Jesus is Lord. There isn't any glory for God if people are endlessly dead or tormented Eternally somewhere, this brings glory to no one, especially God and it isn't Love.
8) Proverbs. 16:18 " Pride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit is before a stumbling."
Comment: Hebrew Word Govah(haughty) literally means "Height." How often has Pride, Arrogance and Haughtiness led to so much pain and heartache in our lives. Someone might say something mean or nasty and we are quick to retaliate with vengefull words or in like manner. Often, we just make matters worse for ourselves. However, these negative traits: Pride, arrogance, Haughtiness are training tools by which we are Humbled, so we eventually learn Humility.
Well, those are only eight Scriptures, but some include two verses. Of course, there are many others of great importance and impact, but I'll end this Post, for now.
Kind Regards, Samson.
