Kindness
Bible Questions Answered:
“...they used to have a bumper
sticker “Kindness is contagious, pass it on!”...I think we need
that again...”
Cory/ Davison, Michigan U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Kindness, is a fruit of God's Spirit.
Galatians 5:22,23 KJV
22 But the fruit of The Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness (Kindness), goodness,
faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law.
So many say they want to be like The
Lord, yet when you look for the kindness in their lives, it doesn't
show very much.

are a forgiving God! You are kind and full of mercy. You are patient
and full of love So you didn’t leave them!

as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy loving kindness is
better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith The Lord
that hath mercy on thee.

according to the multitude of His loving kindnesses.
Jeremiah 9:24 ERV
But if someone wants to brag, then
let them brag about this: Let them brag that they learned to know Me.

and fair, and that I do good things on earth. I love this kind of
bragging.” This message is from The Lord.
Joel 2:12,13 ERV
12 This is The Lord’s message:“Now
come back to Me with all your heart.
Cry and mourn, and don’t eat
anything! Show that you are sad for doing wrong.
13 Tear your hearts, not your
clothes.”Come back to The Lord your God. He is kind and merciful.
He does not become angry quickly. He has great love. Maybe He will
change His mind about the bad punishment He planned.

patient with difficult people.
II Peter 1:7 KJV

Prayer:
Titus 3:4,5 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.
He Lifted Me
In loving-kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame
Through grace He lifted me.
Refrain:
From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me;
From shades of night to plains of
light,
Oh, praise His Name, He lifted me!
He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred,
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiv’n, He lifted me.
His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
In love He lifted me.
Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know ’tis well;
Yet how or why, I cannot tell,
He should have lifted me.
Charles H. Gabriel, 1856-1932
II Samuel 22:36 KJV (King David)
"...thy gentleness hath made me
great.

Kally/ Ravena, New York U.S.A.
Bible Answer:

Millions today, cannot hear The Spirit
Of The Lord, because their ears are closed to His voice, and why is
that, it is because of their love for sin.
Spiritual
Deafness:
Isaiah 6:9,10 KJV9 And He said,
Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see
ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people
fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see
with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, and convert, and be healed.
Jeremiah 6:10 KJV
To whom shall I speak, and give
warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and
they cannot hearken: behold,
The Word Of The Lord is unto them a
reproach; they have no delight in it.
Ezekiel 12:1,2 KJV
1 The Word Of The Lord also came
unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the
midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not;
they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious
house.
Zechariah 7:11-13 NLT
11 “Your ancestors refused to
listen to this message. They stubbornly turned away and put their
fingers in their ears to keep from hearing. 12 They made their hearts
as hard as stone, so they could not hear the instructions or the
messages that The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies had sent them by His
Spirit through the earlier prophets. That is why
The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies was so
angry with them.
13 “Since they refused to listen
when I called to them, I would not listen when they called to Me,
says The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies.
II Timothy 4:3,4 NLT
3 For a time is coming when people
will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will
follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell
them whatever their itching ears want to hear.

chase after myths.

and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth
me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Proverbs 15:31-33 NLT
31 If you listen to constructive
criticism, you will be at home among the wise.
32 If you reject discipline, you
only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in
understanding.
33 Fear of The Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor.
Ecclesiastes 5:1 KJV
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the
house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice
of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Luke 8:15 NLT (Parable of the
Farmer Scattering Seed)
And the seeds that fell on the good
soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s Word,
cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.
James 1:19 KJV
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let
every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Arise,
My Soul Arise
Arise, my soul,
arise;
Shake off thy
guilty fears;
The bleeding
sacrifice
In thy behalf
appears:
Before the throne
my surety stands;
My name is written
on His hands.
He ever lives
above,
For me to
intercede;
His all-redeeming
love,
His precious blood
to plead;
His blood atoned
for all our race,
And sprinkles now
the throne of grace.
Five bleeding
wounds He bears,
Received on
Calvary;
They pour effectual
prayers,
They strongly speak
for me.
Forgive him, O
forgive, they cry,
Nor let that
ransomed sinner die.
The Father hears
Him pray—
His dear Anointed
One:
He cannot turn away
The presence of His
Son;
His Spirit answers
to The Blood,
And tells me I am
born of God.
My God is
reconciled,
His pardoning voice
I hear;
He owns me for His
child,
I can no longer
fear:
With confidence I
now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba
Father, cry.

19 If ye be

The Lord's Request:

the good of the land:
Matthew
19:16-22 KJV
[16] And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal Life?
[17] And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into Life, keep the commandments.
[18] He saith unto Him, Which? Jesus said,
Thou shalt do no murder, (Exodus 20:13 commandment # six.)
Thou shalt not commit adultery, (Exodus 20:14 commandment # seven.)
Thou shalt not steal, (Exodus 20:15 commandment # eight.)
Thou shalt not bear false witness, (Exodus 20:16 commandment # nine.)
[19] Honor thy father and thy mother: and, (Exodus 20:12 commandment # five.)
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Exodus 20:17 commandment # ten.)
(Christ asked the young man concerning commandments five through ten, but omitted commandments one through four, which are....
Exodus 20:3 commandment # 1 “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.”
Exodus 20:4-6 commandment # 2
[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;
[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.
Exodus 20:7 commandment # 3
Thou shalt not take the name of The LORD thy God in vain; for The LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
Exodus 20:8 commandment # 4 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. “
[20] The young man saith unto Him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
[21] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me.
[22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
[23] Then said Jesus unto His disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[24] And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
[25] When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
[26] But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:16-26 NLT
16 Someone came to Jesus with this question: “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”
17 “Why ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. But to answer your question—if you want to receive eternal Life, keep the commandments.”
18 “Which ones?” the man asked. And Jesus replied:
You must not murder.
You must not commit adultery.
You must not steal.
You must not testify falsely.
19 Honor your father and mother.
Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 “I’ve obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else must I do?”
21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I tell you The Truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
24 I’ll say it again—it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
25 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”
This story lies in two parts,
Part I
The rich young ruler addressed Jesus as “Good Master*” -Matthew 19:16)
* Master: Greek- Didaskalos (did-as-kal-os): Instructor, doctor, teacher, master.
In John 1:38 rendered Rabbi/ John 20:16 -Rabboni.
Jesus responded, “Why callest thou Me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: - Matthew 19:17.)
Had the young ruler thought Jesus to be God?
No, for when he responded again, he did not use the phrase.
Part II
Jesus then responded, “but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.-Matthew 19:17.)
Christ then went on to name five commandments, five through ten.
The “self-righteous,” young man boasted....
“All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? - Matthew 19:20.)
Jesus knew the heart of the young man.
Psalm 139:1-4 KJV
[1] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
[2] Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
[3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
[4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Hebrews 4:12,13 KJV
[12] For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
[13] Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
Matthew 19:21 KJV
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me.
Jesus knew the young man neglected the first four commandments.
Matthew 19:22 KJV
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
John 8:9 KJV
"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone..."
Proverbs 1:29 KJV
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Sinful man cannot keep the law.
Romans 3:28 KJV
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
[16] And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal Life?

Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of My Father which is in heaven.

which built his house upon a rock: (verses 24-27)
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:

descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will
love him, and will manifest Myself to him.

said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father
will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with
him.

But that the world may know that I love The Father; and as The Father
gave Me commandment, even so I do...”
John 15:10 KJV
If ye keep My
commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My
Father's commandments, and abide in His love.

Thus
did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Abraham
Genesis
22:2,3 KJV
2
And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for
a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and
took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave
(split NKJV) the wood
for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which
God had told him.
Bezaleel
Exodus 36:1 KJV
Then
wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom The
Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of
work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that The Lord
had commanded.
Joshua
Joshua
11:15 KJV
As
The Lord commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua,
and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that The Lord
commanded Moses.
Hezekiah
II
Kings 18:6 KJV
For
he clave (held fast –
NKJV) to The Lord, and departed not from following Him, but
kept His commandments, which The Lord commanded Moses.

Luke
2:39 KJV
And
when they had performed all things according to
The
Law Of The Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city

There is “no,” substitute for obedience.
Disobedience:

after other gods, which ye have not known.

2:2,3 KJV

For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every
transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the
first began to be spoken by The Lord, and was confirmed unto us by
them that heard Him;
Prayer:
I
John 1:8-10 KJV
8 If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and The Truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is
Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not
sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

Synagogue Of Satan
Bible Questions Answered:
“...Revelation mentions the synagogue
of Satan, what is that?...”
Kasa/ Skiatook, Oklahoma United States
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Revelation 2:9 KJV A
Message to the Church in Smyrna
I know your
afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the
slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a
synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
KJV A Message to the Church in
Philadelphia
I will make
those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews
though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall
down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
The risen Lord, had a message to believers at Smyrna, and
Philadelphia, and it was, He knew who His true followers were, and
who the false ones were.
The devil, and his angels, are a deceivers.
II Corinthians
11:13-15 KJV
13 For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the
apostles of Christ.
14 And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it
is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works.
II Peter 2:1,2
KJV
1 But there
were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying The Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction.
2 And many
shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom
The Way Of
Truth shall be evil spoken of.
There were false brethren in the church, deceivers, who said they
were Jews (spiritually speaking), but who were not.
Jesus, told the woman at the well....
John 4:22 KJV
Ye worship ye
know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Apostle Paul:
Romans 2:28,29
NLT
28 For you are
not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or
because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.
29 No, a
true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true
circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it
is a change of heart produced by The Spirit. And a person with a
changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.
Jesus....
Matthew 7:15-23
KJV
15 Beware of
false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles?
17 Even so
every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit.
19 Every tree
that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
fire.
20 Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every
one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in
heaven.
22 Many will
say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
23 And then
will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that
work iniquity.
Going through
all the motions with no spiritual commitment to The Lord,
lost.
Notice one
deceiving thing, this Charismatic Assembly used the name of Jesus!
Prophecy, in
the name of Jesus
Evil spirits,
cast out in the name of Jesus
Wonderful works
done in the name of Jesus
Etc.
The evil one, tried to divide and conquer the early church, and his
mode of attack is no less than that today.
II
Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
13 For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it
is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
their works.
Could these possibly be deceivers, Jesus and Paul say yes! And they
are, for though they go through all the spiritual locomotions of
believers, yet they themselves have “not,” come to the
place of repentance (forsaking sin), and personal acceptance by
faith, living lives of obedience (Scriptural), to
The Savior.
Acts 3:19 KJV
Peter
Repent, then,
and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of
refreshing may come from The Lord,
Acts 20:21 KJV Apostle Paul
I have declared
to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and
have faith in our Lord Jesus.
Acts 26:20 KJV Paul
First to those
in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to
the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and
demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.
II Corinthians
7:10 KJV
Godly sorrow
brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but
worldly sorrow brings death.
II Peter 3:9 KJV
Peter
The 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.
Revelation 3:19 KJV Jesus
Those whom I
love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
Romans 10:9, 10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.
Romans 4:16 NLT
So the promise
is received by faith. It is given as a free Gift. And we are all
certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of
Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the
father of all who believe.
Galatians
3:26-29 NLT
26 For you are
all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 And all who
have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like
putting on new clothes.
28 There is no
longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are
all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And now
that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You
are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
Prayer:
Acts
17:10,11 KJV
10
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto
Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received The Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Oh Lord, help us to be a people of The Word, reading,
and living obediently to it.

Bible Lesson: Cherished
Promises To The Child Of God: To Those Who Are Merciful.
Bible Text:
Proverbs 19:17 KJV
He
that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto The Lord; and that which he
hath given will He pay him again.
The Lord's Request:
He
that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto The Lord
The Lord's Promise:
and
that which he hath given will He pay him again.
Talk
about guaranteed interest, Our Savior promises us, that if we help
the poor, He will personally repay us!
Do you
have a heart that reaches out to the poor? (Give yourself a minute
test: This is what I have done for the poor, in the last 6 months....
Nothing to remember? Then you know your answer.)
But
this can all change with this simple prayer.
Oh Lord
Of Glory, Savior, I have not had a heart that reaches out in love to
the poor. Please give me a heart that will not rest, until I have
helped the needy. Right in my own city, may my eyes be opened
through your power.
Thank
you Oh Lord
Amen

our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above
the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the
west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
17 But the mercy of The Lord is
from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His
righteousness unto children's children;

Repentance)
12 “...The Lord says “Turn to Me
now, while there is time. Give Me your hearts. Come
with fasting, weeping, and mourning.

life) the judgment:
In this life, is
the time of spiritual decision, God's mercy is in abundance, extended
to one and all, but listen well, His mercy, does “not,”
extend beyond the grave, for those who reject Him!
Today, no sin is
outside the mercy of God, except one, the
rejection of The Lord Jesus Christ, man's one and only Savior (the
unpardonable sin).

Lord.

according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy

transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I
sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest Truth in the
inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know
wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall
be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and
blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O
God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy
presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy
salvation; and uphold me with thy free Spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors
thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness,
O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of
thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my
mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice;
else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a
broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not
despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto
Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with
the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt
offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
And The Lord heard
David's prayer and forgave him.
Romans 2:5-11
NLT (Those who are unrepentant)
5 But because you are stubborn and
refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment
for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous
judgment will be revealed.
6 He will judge everyone according
to what they have done.
7 He will give eternal life to those
who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and
immortality that God offers.
8 But He will pour out His anger and
wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey
The Truth (The
Lord Jesus Christ) and instead live lives of wickedness.
9 There will be trouble and calamity
for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and
also for the Gentile.
10 But there will be glory and honor
and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also
for the Gentile.
11 For God does not show favoritism.
Job 8:13-15 KJV
13 So are the paths of all that
forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and
whose trust shall be a spider's web.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but
it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Matthew 7:26,27
KJV
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.
Joel 2:12 NLT
“...The Lord says “Turn to Me
now, while there is time...”

of The Lord shall be saved.
John 3:14-18 KJV
14 "...The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in
the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

Christs') Book Of Life.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of Life was cast
