Of The Living God.

23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye
are of this world; I am not of this world.

Isaiah 64:6 KJV
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our
righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a
leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
John 1:12.13 KJV
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

Romans 3:10 KJV
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 6:23 KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 11:6 NLT
And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by
their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not
be what it really is—free and undeserved.
Galatians 2:16,21 NLT
16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in
Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have
believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God
because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the
law. For no one will ever be made right with God by
obeying the law.
21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if
keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need
for Christ to die.
Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works (Righteous
Ceremonies, Good works, etc), lest any man should
boast.
Titus 3:4-7 NLT
4 But—“When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love,
5 He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done,
but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new
birth and new life through The Holy Spirit.
6 He generously poured out The Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ
our Savior.
7 Because of His grace He declared us righteous and gave us
confidence that we will inherit eternal life.”

In burnt
offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
I John 5:11,12 NLT
11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal
life, and this Life is in His Son.
12 Whoever has The Son has Life; whoever does not have God’s
Son does not have Life.
If we reject The Lord, He will reject us.
For many, who reject The Lord Jesus, thinking they may work their way
into God's heaven, a sad, very sad eternal awakening, awaits them.
I Samuel 15:22,23 NLT (Samuel rebukes Saul.)
22 But Samuel replied,
“What is more pleasing to The Lord: your burnt offerings and
sacrifices or your obedience to His voice? Listen!
Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is
better than offering the fat of rams.
23 Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad
as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of The
Lord, He has rejected you...”
Matthew 7:24-27 KJV
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon A Rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon A Rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
