Same


a WORD for God's Book

________________________________________________________________________
My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same.

"The one who listens to you, listens to me (Jesus). The one who rejects you, rejects me. And rejecting me is the same as rejecting God, who sent me."

In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious. And the good deeds done in secret will someday come to light.

I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.

Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.” They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water.

Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I've warned you of them many times; sadly, I'm having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ's Cross. But easy street is a dead-end street. Those who live there make their bellies their gods; belches are their praise; all they can think of is their appetites.

Job 4:8 Luke 10:16 1 Timothy 5:25 2 Timothy 1:5 2 Peter 3:4 Philippians 3:17


Be faithful – and leave the results with God.
