Matthew 7:21-27 “NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME, ‘LORD, LORD,’ WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 AND THEN WILL I DECLARE TO THEM, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS.’ 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 AND EVERYONE WHO HEARS THESE WORDS OF MINE AND DOES NOT DO THEM WILL BE LIKE A FOOLISH MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE SAND. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Matthew 12:50 For WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN is my brother and sister and mother.

Luke 11:28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God AND KEEP IT!”

John 13:17 If you know these things, BLESSED ARE YOU IF YOU DO THEM.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus FOR GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand, THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.

Romans 2:13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but THE DOERS OF THE LAW WHO WILL BE JUSTIFIED.

James 1:22-27 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, BUT DOING IT—THEY WILL BE BLESSED IN WHAT THEY DO. 26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless**. 27 RELIGION THAT GOD OUR FATHER ACCEPTS AS PURE AND FAULTLESS IS THIS: TO LOOK AFTER ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR DISTRESS AND TO KEEP ONESELF FROM BEING POLLUTED BY THE WORLD.**

James 2:14-26 WHAT GOOD IS IT, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IF SOMEONE CLAIMS TO HAVE FAITH BUT HAS NO DEEDS? CAN SUCH FAITH SAVE THEM? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, FAITH BY ITSELF, IF IT IS NOT ACCOMPANIED BY ACTION, IS DEAD. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence THAT FAITH WITHOUT DEEDS IS USELESS? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that HIS FAITH AND HIS ACTIONS WERE WORKING TOGETHER, AND HIS FAITH WAS MADE COMPLETE BY WHAT HE DID. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. 24 YOU SEE THAT A PERSON IS CONSIDERED RIGHTEOUS BY WHAT THEY DO AND NOT BY FAITH ALONE. 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous FOR WHAT SHE DID when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 AS THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS DEAD, SO FAITH WITHOUT DEEDS IS DEAD.

James 4:17 SO WHOEVER KNOWS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND FAILS TO DO IT, FOR HIM IT IS SIN.

1 John 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from him, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.

2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, A WORKER who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HEAR, AND WHO KEEP WHAT IS WRITTEN IN IT, for the time is near.

Revelation 2:26 THE ONE WHO CONQUERS AND WHO KEEPS MY WORKS UNTIL THE END, to him I will give authority over the nations

God Bless You!
