‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭15‬‬
They came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes. As soon as he got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him. He lived in the tombs, and no one was able to restrain him anymore — not even with a chain  —  because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, but had torn the chains apart and smashed the shackles. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains, he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him. And he cried out with a loud voice, “What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you before God, don’t torment me!” For he had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” “What is your name?” he asked him. “My name is Legion,” he answered him, “because we are many.” And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the region. A large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.” So he gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there. The men who tended them ran off and reported it in the town and the countryside, and people went to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬-‭10‬‬
After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other for an uninhabitable place, he is to present the goat chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering. But the goat chosen by lot for an uninhabitable place is to be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement with it by sending it into the wilderness for an uninhabitable place.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭4‬‬
Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the reality itself of those things, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭16‬‬
At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬‬
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭23‬-‭24‬‬
Though he was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him. God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬‬
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬‬
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬‬
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬‬
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬‬
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

God Has A Plan.

Jesus is His Plan.
