Rom 8:6 "To be CARNALLY (Worldly) MINDED is Death.."

Rom 12:2 "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world (Don't be CONFORMED to this World), but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is."

Rom 8:29-30 "For whom God Foreknew (God chose His people in advance), He also Predestined to be CONFORMED to the Image of His Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many Brothers and Sisters. Moreover whom He Predestined, these He also called (He called them to come to Him); whom He called, these He also justified (gave them right standing with Himself); and whom He justified, these He also Glorified (gave them His Glory)."

2 Cor 3:16-18 "But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, then the veil is taken away. Now, the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, He gives freedom. And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be MIRRORS THAT BRIGHTLY REFLECT THE GLORY OF THE LORD. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become MORE AND MORE LIKE JESUS and REFLECT HIS GLORY EVEN MORE."

Philip 4:15 "Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming MORE AND MORE IN EVERY WAY LIKE CHRIST, who is the head of His body, the church."

Mark 12:30 Jesus says, “You Must LOVE THE LORD Your God With All Your HEART, With All Your SOUL, With All Your MIND, and With All Your STRENGTH.”

Matt 10:37-39 Jesus says, “If you love your Father or Mother MORE than you love Me, you are NOT WORTHY OF BEING MINE; or if you love your Son or Daughter MORE than Me, you are NOT WORTHY OF BEING MINE If you REFUSE to take up your CROSS and FOLLOW ME, you are NOT WORTHY OF BEING MINE. If you CLING TO YOUR LIFE, you will LOSE it; but if you GIVE UP YOUR LIFE for Me, you will FIND IT."

1 Chron 28:9-10 "Worship and serve the Lord with your WHOLE HEART and with a willing mind. For the Lord sees EVERY HEART and UNDERSTANDS and KNOWS EVERY PLAN and THOUGHT.

2 Cor 6:17-18 "Therefore, come out from them and SEPARATE yourselves from them, says the Lord. DON'T TOUCH THEIR FILTHY THINGS. And I will be your Father, and you will be My Sons and Daughters, says the Lord Almighty, and I will welcome you."

Titus 2:11-14 "For the Grace of God that brings Salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, DENYING UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, we should live Soberly, Righteously, and Godly in the present age, looking for the blessed Hope and Glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works."

Titus 1:16 "Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and DISOBEDIENT, worthless for doing anything good."

Psalms 101:1-8 "I WILL BE CAREFUL to live a BLAMELESS LIFE— when will you come to help me? I will LEAD A LIFE OF INTEGRITY IN MY OWN HOME. I will REFUSE TO LOOK AT ANYTHING VILE AND VULGAR. I HATE ALL WHO DEAL CROOKEDLY; I will have NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. I will REJECT PERVERSE IDEAS AND STAY AWAY FROM EVERY EVIL. I will NOT TOLERATE PEOPLE WHO SLANDER THEIR NEIGHBORS. I will NOT ENDURE CONCEIT AND PRIDE. I will SEARCH FOR FAITHFUL PEOPLE TO BE MY COMPANIONS. Only those who are ABOVE REPROACH WILL BE ALLOWED TO SERVE ME. I will NOT ALLOW DECEIVERS TO SERVE IN MY HOUSE, and LIARS WILL NOT STAY IN MY PRESENCE. My daily task will be to ferret out the WICKED AND FREE THE CITY OF THE LORD FROM THEIR GRIP."

Philip 4:17-19 “With the Lord's authority let me say this: LIVE NO LONGER AS THE UNGODLY DO, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against him. They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed."

John 15:18-21 Jesus says, "If the World hates you, remember that it hated me first. The World would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but YOU ARE NO LONGER PART OF THE WORLD. I chose you to come out of the World, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they Persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the One who sent me."

Heb 12:14 "Without HOLINESS no one shall see the Lord."

Lev 11:44 “You must be HOLY for I am HOLY.”

1 Peter 1:14-17 "So you must live as God’s Obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be HOLY in EVERYTHING YOU DO, just as God who chose you is HOLY. For the Scriptures say, “You must be HOLY because I am HOLY.” And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will Judge or Reward you according to what you DO. So you must live in reverent Fear of Him during your time as “foreigners in the land.”

1 Pet 1:15 “But now you must be HOLY in EVERYTHING YOU DO, just as God—who chose you to be His children—is HOLY.”

Isa 35:8 "And a great road will go through that once deserted land. 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."

1 John 3:3 "All who have this eager expectation will keep themselves PURE, just as He is PURE."

Rev 19:6-8 “Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give Honor to Him. For the time has come for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, and His Bride has prepared herself. She has been given the finest of Pure White Linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the GOOD DEEDS of God’s HOLY people."

2 Pet 3:11 “Since everything around us is going to melt away, what HOLY, Godly lives you should be living! “

2 Cor 7:1 "Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting HOLINESS in the Fear of God."

Phil 2:12-16 "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always Obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become BLAMESS and HARMLESS, children of God WITHOUT FAULT in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain."

1 John 2:15-17 "STOP LOVING THIS EVIL WORLD and all that it offers you, for when you LOVE THE WORLD, you show that you do NOT have the love of the Father in you. For the WORLD OFFERS ONLY THE LUST FOR PHYSICAL PLEASURE, THE LUST FOR EVERYTHING WE SEE, AND PRIDE IN OUR POSSESSIONS. These are NOT from the Father. They are from this EVIL WORLD. And this WORLD IS FADING AWAY, along with everything it craves. But IF you do the WILL OF GOD, YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER."

You are FAMOUS AND POPULAR in Israel (In this World), you to whom the people go for help.…You push away every thought of coming disaster, but your actions only bring the Day of Judgment closer. How terrible it will be for you who sprawl on ivory beds surrounded with luxury, eating the meat of tender lambs and choice calves. You sing idle songs to the sound of the harp, and you fancy yourselves to be great musicians, as King David was. You drink wine by the bowlful, and you perfume yourselves with exotic fragrances….The Lord God Almighty, says: "I DESPISE THE PRIDE and false glory of Israel (Worldliness), and I hate their beautiful homes. I will give this city and everything in it to their enemies."

Phil 4:21-24 "Since you have heard all about Him and have learned the truth that is in Jesus, throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and through, full of lust and deception. Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDES. You must DISPLAY A NEW NATURE because you are a new person, created in GOD'S LIKENESS— RIGHTEOUS, HOLY, AND TRUE."

Col 3:1-3 "Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God's right hand in the place of honor and power. Let HEAVEN FILL YOUR THOUGHTS. Do not think only about things down here on earth. For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God."

Phil 2:5-11 "Your ATTITUDE should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though He was God, He did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made Himself nothing; He took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form He obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross. Because of this, God raised Him up to the heights of heaven and gave Him a name that is above every other name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father."

Mark 7:20-23 Jesus added, "It is the THOUGHT-LIFE that defiles you. For from within, out of a person's heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, eagerness for lustful pleasure, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you and make you unacceptable to God."

Gen 6:5-8 "Now the Lord observed the extent of the people's wickedness, and He saw that all their THOUGHTS WERE CONSISTENTLY AND TOTALLY EVIL. So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them.

Matt 18:3-4 Jesus says, “Anyone who becomes as HUMBLE AS THIS LITTLE CHILD is the Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Luke 18:9-14 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great self-confidence and scorned everyone else: "Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a dishonest tax collector. The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else, especially like that tax collector over there! For I never cheat, I don't sin, I don't commit adultery, I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.' But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.' I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For the proud will be humbled, but the HUMBLE WILL BE HONORED."

Col 2:8 “Don't let anyone lead you ASTRAY with Empty Philosophy and High-Sounding Nonsense that come from HUMAN THINKING FROM THE EVIL POWERS OF THIS WORLD, AND NOT FROM CHRIST.”

You say, `I am rich. I have everything I want. I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. And also buy white garments so you will not be shamed by your nakedness. And buy ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I am the one who corrects and disciplines everyone I love. Be diligent and turn from your indifference. Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends."

Rev 3:1-3 Jesus says, "I know all the things you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive—but you are dead. Now wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is at the point of death. Your deeds are far from right in the sight of God. Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly and turn to me again. Unless you do, I will come upon you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief."

Jesus called his Disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this POOR WIDOW has GIVEN MORE THAN ALL THE OTHERS who are making contributions. For they gave a TINY PART OF THEIR SURPLUS, but she, POOR as she is, has GIVEN EVERYTHING SHE HAD TO LIVE ON.”

Luke 16:11-12 Jesus says, "And if you are UNTRUSTWORTHY ABOUT WORLDLY WEALTH, who will TRUST YOU with the TRUE RICHES OF HEAVEN? And if you are NOT FAITHFUL with other people’s things, why should you be TRUSTED WITH THINGS of your own?"

Matt 16:24-27 Jesus said to the disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your SELFISH AMBITION, SHOULDER YOUR CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life. And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul? For I, the Son of Man, will come in the glory of my Father with his angels and will judge all people according to their deeds.”

Matt 19:29 Jesus says, “And everyone who has GIVEN UP HOUSES or BROTHERS or SISTERS or FATHER or MOTHER or CHILDREN or PROPERTY, for My sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will have Eternal Life.”

Luke 9:23-27 Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY, and FOLLOW ME. For whoever desires to save his life will LOSE IT, but whoever LOSES HIS LIFE MY SAKE WILL SAVE IT. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? For whoever is Ashamed of Me and My Words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels."

Matt 10:37-39 Jesus says, “If you love your Father or Mother MORE than you love Me, you are NOT WORTHY OF BEING MINE; or if you love your Son or Daughter MORE than you love Me, you are NOT WORTHY OF BEING MINE. If you REFUSE to take up your CROSS and FOLLOW ME, you are NOT WORTHY OF BEING MINE. If you CLING TO YOUR LIFE, you will LOSE it; but if you GIVE UP YOUR LIFE for Me, you will FIND IT.

Mark 8:34-38 Jesus says, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him DENY HIMSELF, and TAKE UP HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME. For whoever desires to save his life WILL LOSE IT, but whoever LOSES HIS LIFE LIFE FOR MY SAKE AND THE GOSPEL'S SAKE WILL SAVE IT. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is Ashamed of Me and My words in this Adulterous and Sinful Generation, of him the Son of Man also will be Ashamed when He comes in the Glory of His Father with the Holy Angels.”

Matt 19:21 Jesus told him, "If you want to be Perfect, GO AND SELL ALL YOU HAVE AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN. THEN COME, FOLLOW ME."

HEB 10:26-39 "If we DELIBERATELY CONTINUE SINNING AFTER we have received KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, there is NO longer any sacrifice that will cover THESE SINS. There is only the TERRIBLE EXPECTATION OF GOD'S JUDGMENT AND THE RAGING FIRE that will consume his enemies. For anyone who REFUSED TO OBEY the Law of Moses (The Old Testament) was PUT TO DEATH WITHOUT MERCY on the Testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much WORSE THE PUNISHMENT WILL BE FOR (New Testament People) THOSE WHO HAVE TRAMPLED ON THE SON OF GOD, and have treated the BLOOD OF THE COVENANT, which made us HOLY, as if it were COMMON AND UNHOLY, and have INSULTED AND DISDAINED THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO BRINGS GOD'S MERCY TO US. For we know the one who said, “I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will Judge His own people.” IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.

Matt 3:8 "PROVE BY THE WAY YOU LIVE that you have REPENTED of your SINS & TURNED TO GOD."

1 John 3:6-10 ""So if we continue to live in Him, we WE WON'T SIN EITHER. But those who KEEP ON SINNING have never known him or understood who he is. Dear children, don't let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it is because they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. When people KEEP ON SINNING, IT SHOWS THAT THEY BELONG TO THE DEVIL, who has been SINNING since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God’s family do NOT MAKE A PRACTICE OF SINNING, because God’s life is in them. So they CAN'T KEEP ON SINNING, because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God." 

1 John 2:1 "But IF you do SIN, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who pleases God completely."

2 Cor 7:10 “For GODLY SORROW works Repentance to Salvation.”

Gal 5:19-21 When you follow the desires of your SINFUL NATURE, the results are very clear: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY, LUSTFUL PLEASURES, IDOLATRY, SORCERY, HOSTILITY, QUARRELING, QUARRELING, JEALOUSY, OUTBURSTS OF ANGER, SELFISH AMBITION, DISSENSION, DIVISION, ENVY, DRUNKENNESS, WILD PARTIES, and other SINS LIKE THESE. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.

If you warn them and they KEEP ON SINNING AND REFUSE TO REPENT, THEY WILL DIE IN THEIR SINS. But you will have saved your life because you did what you were told to do. If GOOD PEOPLE TURN BAD and DON'T LISTEN TO MY WARNING, they will die. If you did not WARN them of the CONSEQUENCES, then they will DIE IN THEIR SINS. Their previous Good Deeds won't help them, and I will hold you responsible, demanding your blood for theirs. But if you WARN THEM and they REPENT, THEY WILL LIVE, and you will have SAVED YOUR OWN LIFE, TOO."

1 John 2:3-6 "We can be sure that we know him if we OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.

Jesus replied, “All who love Me will DO WHAT I SAY. My Father will love them, and WE will come and make OUR home with each of them. Anyone who does NOT love Me will NOT OBEY ME. And remember, My Words are not My own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent Me. I am telling you these things now while I am still with you.

Matt 7:21-23 Jesus says, “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER in heaven will enter.

Get away from Me, you who 's BREAK GOD’S LAWS."

Luke 6:46-49 Jesus says, “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t DO WHAT I SAY (obey)? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to Me, listens to My teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and does NOT OBEY is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

Matt 7:24-27 Jesus says, “Anyone who listens to My teaching and FOLLOWS (DOES & ACTS UPON THEM) is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.
