The one who trusts in the Lord will never be put to shame


The one who trusts in the Lord will never be put to shame

Rom 9:33

33 As it is written:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall,
    and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.

 Isa 28:16

16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.

Rom 10:11

11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.

1 Pet 2: 6, 7

For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
 will never be put to shame.”[b]

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,
