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.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11New International Version (NIV)
9
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor
adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the
greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the
kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were
washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Thessalonians 3:12-13New International Version (NIV)
12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and
for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your
hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God
and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.
Acts 1:11New International Version (NIV)
11
Men of Galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking into the
sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will
come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.
Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life
has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.
James 1:19New International Version (NIV)
Listening and Doing
19
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be
quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your
hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve,
mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to
gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died,
and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
