Job 11:13-17
“ If you would prepare your heart, And stretch out your hands toward Him;If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;Because you would forget your misery, And remember it as waters that have passed away,And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.

Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Luke 15:18-24
I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him,“ Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’“ And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.And the son said to him,‘ Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’“ But the father said to his servants,‘ Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

Acts 16:29-34
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.And he brought them out and said,“ Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”So they said,“ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.
