Matthew 22:36 "Teacher, which is the greatest
commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: "` Love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and
greatest commandment.
Romans 14:8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die , we die to the Lord. So,
whether we live or die , we belong to the Lord.
James 3:11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its
stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light
shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Revelations 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were
either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm --neither hot nor cold--I am
about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, `I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do
not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and
naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich;
and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on
your eyes, so you can see. 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest,
and repent.
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he
must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be
for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in
exchange for his soul?
Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your strength.
Deuteronomy 11:1 Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his
laws and his commands always.
Psalms 31:23 Love the LORD , all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the
proud he pays back in full. 24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD .
Matthew 3:10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not
produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
Matthew 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the
fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
John 12:48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words;
that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
1Timothy 4:16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you
do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
James 1:21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and
humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. 22 Do not merely listen to the
word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but
does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after
looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the man
who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not
forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does.
James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is
dead. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your
faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
James 2:21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he
offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working
together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was
fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as
righteousness," and he was called God's friend. 24 You see that a person is justified
by what he does and not by faith alone.
James 5:19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should
bring him back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will
save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
John 15:8 This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit , showing yourselves
to be my disciples
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear
God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [ duty ] of man. 14 For God will
bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
Luke 6:43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44
Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or
grapes from briers. 45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his
heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out
of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. 46 "Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,'
and do not do what I say?
