Jesus’ third example of true righteousness is the taking of oaths. The Scribes and Pharisees had made oath taking into an art of deceit. Jesus teaches that our answers shouldn’t need oaths; a simple yes or no demonstrates the integrity of our heart. It further teaches us that our God is the God of Truth and he desires his children to be truthful in all things.

The Gospel consist of facts to be believed, commands to be obeyed, and promises to be received. Many deny the facts, refuse to obey the commands but still want to receive the promises!
Do you look like your parents? For me, some may say I really look like my dad. He just smiles more often and I don’t. Hehe. It’s just amazing to see how a child can really resemble his or her father or mother. We have a resemblance to our earthly parents no matter who big or small it may be. But we should also consider our resemblance to our heavenly Father. We will learn a lot about this as we study 1 John chapter 3.
The most important thing to believe in is what Jesus Christ did for you. Without the sacrifice Jesus made, we would have no opportunity to have a relationship with God both now and in the afterlife.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. Acts 17:22-32
Therefore, since we are the offspring of God,
we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is
like gold or silver or stone, something shaped
by art and man's devising. 30 “Truly, these
times of ignorance God overlooked, but now
commands all men everywhere to repent, 31
because He has appointed a day on which He
will judge the world in righteousness by the
Man whom He has ordained. He has given
assurance of this to all by raising Him from
the dead.”

And when they heard of the
resurrection of the dead, some
mocked, while others said, “We will
hear you again on this matter.”
(Some mocked. Some refuse
to consider and know God!)

8. John 16:8-11
And when He has come, He will
convict the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of
sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 of righteousness, because I go to My
Father and you see Me no more; 11 of
judgment, because the ruler of this
world is judged.
9. Romans 2:5-8
But in accordance with your
hardness and your impenitent heart you are
treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of
wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God, 6 who "will render to each
one according to his deeds": 7 eternal life to
those who by patient continuance in doing
good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
8 but to those who are self-seeking and do
not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness
-- indignation and wrath.

Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter: Fear God
and keep His commandments,
For this is man's all. 14 For
God will bring every work into
judgment, Including every
secret thing, Whether good or
evil.
12. John 15:14

whatever I command you.”

life; and he who does not believe the Son
shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides
on him.
15. John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the
way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father
except through Me.”

confidence that we have
in Him, that if we ask
anything according to His
will, He hears us.

learn about God and know Him; if you will
acknowledge your sin and repent; let faith
and love produce obedience; trust in
Christ, listen to God and pray to Him --
You can enjoy a relationship with your
Creator, that begins here on earth and is
consummated in eternity.
