Keeping the commandments of God is what matters.
(1 Corinthians 7:19b, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
(1 Timothy 5:8, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
(Matthew 5:29\u201330, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26\u00a0But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.\u201d (Mark 11:25\u201326, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one\u2019s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
(John 15:13\u201314, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, \u201cI know Him,\u201d and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
(1 John 2:3\u20134, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
(John 17:3, NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15 \u201cBeware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep\u2019s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
21 \u201cNot everyone who says to Me, \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, \u2018Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?\u2019 23 And then I will declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!\u2019
