Amen..we must be willing and obedient...
Isaiah 1:16-20
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;17Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
amen. "
Romans 8:28-30 " and we know that in all things God works for the Good of those who LOVE HIM, who have been called according to his purpose. for those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the Likeness of His Son, that He might be the FIRSTBORN among many BROTHERS. and those He predestined, He also called, those He called, he also Justified, those He justified, He also glorified."
romans 6:15-18 "what then ? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under Grace? by no means. don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey Him as slaves, YOU ARE SLAVES TO THE ONE WHOM YOU OBEY- whether you are slaves yo sin which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you USED to be slaves to sin, you WHOLEHEARTEDLY OBEYED the form of teaching you were entrusted, you have been set free from sin and have becomes slaves to righteousness."
1 peter 2 :24 " For He himself bore our SIN in His body on the cross, SO THAT we might die to sins ans live for RIGHTEOUSNESS; by His wounds, you have been healed."
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 "For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."
1 Corinthians 2:11-15"a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit"
Mark 4:21-25 "He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”
“Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”
john 3:19-21 "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God"
John 8:12 "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
