acceptance/rejection of Christ determines which group

Core Interrelations


CONSOLIDATION:
Jesus has authority to teach the words of God to us because He came from Him. Jesus teaches us the truth.

Jesus said we need to believe in a Savior sent from God to enter eternal life; otherwise we perish. He said we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the Spirit of God.

Hating good keeps you from coming to Christ, doing good aligns you to want to be seen as belonging to God.

Believing and accepting Jesus brings eternal life, rejecting Him brings death.

The fruit or lack of fruit due to rejecting Christ is evident, and so is your placement either in or out of God's Eternal Kingdom.

Woe to the hypocrite! (prideful one) Rather have mercy on your neighbor. Having faith in God you can overcome your harmful desires through actions such as these. Otherwise you will be deceived by your unbelieving heart, as evidenced by what your life visibly produces. Refusal brings judgement into eternal fire because it shows a prideful will to not believe God's Word about Jesus, and not put yourself at His command to love your neighbor. Prideful people can not even manage to get their questions answered, while the humble believer has whatever he asks.

Better to deny yourself daily, unashamedly tell the gospel, and be persecuted than to gain the whole world and be eternally condemned.

Love the Lord (to love Him you have to believe in Him) and your neighbor, seeking their good, offering help to relieve their suffering, and you will be judged to live.
