Scripture
Matthew 4:17-20
17From that time on Jesus began to preach, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.
18As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
19Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will send you out to fish for people.
20At once they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 13:47-50
47Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.
48When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.
49This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous
50and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
John 21:6
6He said, Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some. When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
John 21:2
2Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus [Thomas] (Aramaic) and [Didymus] (Greek) both mean [twin].), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
2 Peter 3:9
9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
John 3:16
16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Revelation 7:9
9After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Matthew 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Matthew 25:31-32
31When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
