Confess with your mouth -- Belive in your heart

                           The Message of Salvation to All

Romans 10:9-17  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 
10  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 
11  For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 
12  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 
13  For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 
14  How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 
15  And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 
16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 
17  So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. 

There is only One God

Cleanse your heart, as Jesus cleansed the temple

                               Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
Luke 19:41-48  And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 
42  saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 
43  For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 
44  and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” 
                             Jesus Cleanses the Temple
45  And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 
46  saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.” 

47  And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 

48  but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words. 

The true Vine

                                 I Am the True Vine

John 15:1-11  “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 
2  Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 
3  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 
4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 
5  I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 
6  If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 
7  If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 
8  By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 
9  As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 
10  If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 
11  These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. 

Know False Prophets

                                                   
                                                 A Tree and Its Fruit

Matthew 7:15-23  “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 
16  You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 
17  So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 
18  A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 
19  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 
20  Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
                                                  I Never Knew You
21  “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22  On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
23  And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
