“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.

They have all fallen away; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.”

“Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel (and now the church) as each day requires, that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other.

Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭8‬:‭57‬-‭61‬ ‭ESV‬‬
