ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are GODS HANDIWORK, CREATED in Christ Jesus TO DO GOOD WORKS , which God PREPARED in advance FOR US TO DO."
titus 2:11-15 "For THE GRACE OF GOD has appeared that OFFERS SALVATION TO ALL people. It TEACHES US to say “No” TO UNGODLINESS and WORDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this present age, WHILE WE WAIT FOR the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our Great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us FROM ALL WICKENDESS and to PURIFY for himself a PEOPLE that are HIS VERY OWN, EAGER TO DO WHAT IS GOOD ."
1 john 5:1-5"EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES that JESUS IS THE CHRIST is born of God, and everyone who LOVES THE FATHER loves HIS CHILD as well. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW that we LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD: by LOVING GOD and CARRYING OUT HIS COMMANDS. IN FACT, THIS IS LOVE FOR GOD: TO KEEP HIS COMMANDS. And HIS COMMANDS are NOT BURDENSOME, for everyone BORN OF GOD overcomes the world. THIS IS THE VICTORY that HAS OVERCOME the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. WHO IS IT THAT OVERCOMES the world? ONLY THE ONE WHO BELIEVES that JESUS is the SON OF GOD."
matthew 16:15- 20 "But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadesc will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will bed bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will bee loosed in heaven.” Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah."
Matthew 17:1-5 "After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There HE WAS TRANSFIGURED before them. His FACE SHOWN LIKE THE SUN, and his clothes became as WHITE AS THE LIGHT. Just then there appeared before them MOSES and ELIJAH, talking with JESUS. Peter said to JESUS, “LORD, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a BRIGHT CLOUD COVERED THEM, and a voice from the cloud said, “THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I LOVE; with him I AM WELL PLEASED. LISTEN TO HIM!”
1 john 5:9-12 "We accept human testimony, but God’s TESTIMONY is greater because it is the testimony of God, which HE HAS GIVEN ABOUT HIS SON. Whoever believes in the SON OF GOD accepts this TESTIMONY. WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE GOD has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the TESTIMONY GOD HAS GIVEN ABOUT HIS SON. And this is the testimony: GOD HAS GIVEN US US ETERNAL LIFE, and this life is IN HIS SON. WHOEVER has the SON HAS LIFE; whoever does not have the SON OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE LIFE."
2 John 1:9-11 ( KJV) "Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, HATH NOT GOD. He that abideth IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, he hath both the FATHER and the SON. If there come any unto you, and bring NOT THIS DOCTRINE, receive him not into your house, neither BID HIM God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is PARTAKER of his evil deeds."
john 14:15-24 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will bec in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me."
romans 8:1- "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for THOSE WHO ARE IN Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the LAW OF THE SPRIT OF LIFE has SET YOU FREE from the LAW OF SIN and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by THE FLESH, God did by sending his own SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL MAN to be a SIN OFFERING. And so he condemned SIN IN THE FLESH, in order that the righteous REWUIREMENT OF LAW might be fully MET IN US, WHO DO NOT LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH but according to the SPIRIT.
THOSE WHO LIVE according to the FLESH have their MINDS SET on what the FLESH DESIRES; but THOSE WHO LIVE in accordance with the SPIRIT have their MINDS SET on what the SPIRIT DESIRES.
The MIND governed by the flesh is DEATH, but the MIND GOVERNED BY THE SPIRIT IS LIFE and PEACE ( john 6:63). The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
You, however, are not of the flesh but are of the Spirit, IF INDEED the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, they do not belong to Christ. But IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives lifed because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of HIS SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN YOU.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, WE HAVE AN ABLIGATION—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, YOU WILL DIE; but IF BY THE SPIRIT YOU PUT TO DEATH the MISDEEDS OF THE BODY, you will live."
john 15:511-“I am the vine; you are the branches. IF YOU REMAIN IN ME and I IN YOU, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. IF YOU DO NOT REMAIN in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, THROWN INTO THE FIRE and burned. If YOU REMAIN IN ME and MY WORDS remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now REMAIN in my love. IF YOU KEEP my commands, YOU WILL remain in my love, JUST AS I HAVE KEPT my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you THIS so that my joy may be in you and that YOUR JOY may be complete."
Acts 26:20-23 "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. That is why some Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me. But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I AM SAYING NOTHING BEYOND what THE PROPHETS AND MOSES SAID would happen— that the Messiah would suffer and, as the FIRST TO RISE FROM THE DEAD, would bring the MESSAGE OF LIGHT to his own people AND TO THE GENTILES.”( john 3:19-20)
