“Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord will come; but you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. Be on your guard, so that your hearts will not be weighed down with dissipation, and drunkenness, and the worries of life, and that this day will not come upon you suddenly, like a trap. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”

“This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

“Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.”

“We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. For even Christ did not please Himself. So then, let us pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.”

“If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.”

On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.’

My brothers and sister in Christ, we are reminded in Luke chapter thirteen, to work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. For when the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’          

“For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness, and there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness.  It will be named the Highway of Holiness. Evil-minded people will never travel on it. It will be only for those who walk in God’s ways; fools will never walk there.” Lord, teach me how to walk in the Way of Holiness.

“For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles. Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it, by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.”

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. They will be known by their actions, whether their conduct is pure and upright.”
