Great blessings belong to those who are tempted and remain faithful! After they have proved their faith, God will give them the reward of eternal life. God promised this to all people who love him.
James 1:12
Then Jesus said to them, “Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. People do not get life from the many things they own.”
Luke 12:15
Do what God’s teaching says; don’t just listen and do nothing. When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves.
James 1:22
Before the world began, the Word was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was there with God in the beginning. Everything was made through him, and nothing was made without him. In him, there was life, and that life was a light for the people of the world.
John 1:1-4
Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1
"If the world hates you, remember that they hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as it loves its own people. But I have chosen you to be different from those in the world. So you don’t belong to the world, and that is why the world hates you."
John 15:18-19
Tell everyone God’s message. Be ready at all times to do whatever is needed. Tell people what they need to do, tell them when they are doing wrong, and encourage them. Do this with great patience and careful teaching.
The time will come when people will not listen to the true teaching. But people will find more and more teachers who please them. They will find teachers who say what they want to hear. People will stop listening to the truth. They will begin to follow the teaching in false stories. But you should control yourself at all times. When troubles come, accept them. Do the work of telling the Good News. Do all the duties of a servant of God.
2 Timothy 4:2-5
Never stop praying. Be ready for anything by praying and being thankful.
Colossians 4:2
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also you must love one another. By this, all will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another.”
John 13:43-35
