Matthew 7:21
21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 23:27-28
27
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed
appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Rom 7
18Sapagka't nalalaman ko na sa akin, sa makatuwid ay sa aking laman, ay hindi tumitira ang anomang bagay
na mabuti: sapagka't ang pagnanasa ay nasa akin, datapuwa't ang paggawa ng mabuti ay wala. 19Sapagka't
ang mabuti na aking ibig, ay hindi ko ginagawa: nguni't ang masama na hindi ko ibig, ay siya kong
ginagawa. 20Datapuwa't kung ang hindi ko ibig, ang siya kong ginagawa, ay hindi na ako ang gumagawa nito,
kundi ang kasalanang tumitira sa akin.
Romans 7:18-20 1 John 2:3-4 James 1:22

How to RESPOND to God’s Word?
1. Apply God’s Word. Do not deceive yourself.
James 1:22--23
Joshua 1:8
Not just a momentary altar call decision but a lifetime commitment of obedience.
Tongue – manifests what’s in your heart
You talk about what you think about. You think about what you love.
Even if you do all the commands in the Bible, if you’re heart is not right, it’s useless.
Outward religion without inner self control is useless.
Matthew 12:37
If the tongue is not controlled, the heart is not transformed.
2. Apply the Word of God. Take care of the orphans and widows.
John 13
James 1:27
Matthew 25
34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took me in:
36
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty,
and gave thee drink?
38
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
1 John 2:10-11
1 John 3
15
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives
for the brethren.
17
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of
compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Fatherless and widows
Exodus 22:22 Psalm 68:5
Acts 6
3. Apply the Word of God without compromise.
James 1:27
Keep yourself unspotted from the world.
1 John 2
15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father
is not in him.
16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.
17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
James 4:4
