"...behold, I come quickly; and my REWARD is with me, to give every man according as his WORK shall be." - Revelation 22:12"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the GREATER DAMNATION". - Matthew 23:14 "Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own REWARD ACCORDING TO his own LABOUR. ..IF any man's WORK ABIDE which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD".
- 1 Corinthians 3: 8,14 "But I say unto you, That it shall be MORE TOLERABLE for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee". - Matthew 11:24 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with FEW STRIPES. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask THE MORE". - Luke 12:48 Popular song: "If you want to be great in God's Kingdom, learn to be the servant of all". Seeking wealth in the Kingdom of God to come (and not on earth) is actually commended by Christ. "...lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.." - Matthew 6:40 "And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all". - Mark 10:44 |

The Bible Literacy Project sponsors the textbook called: The Bible and Its Influence. An educated person is familiar with his Bible.Even in a secular, unbelieving context, there is much history and literature that continues to be studied which can only be well understood if there is a background of knowledge of the Bible (and Church History). See [URL=http://www.bibleliteracy.org]]]http://www.bibleliteracy.org[/URL] . "Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy Name, O LORD God of Hosts". - Jeremiah 15:16 "Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good..." - Proverbs 19:2 |

The Bible describes reprobate professors...They profess that they know God... ...but in works they deny him... (The Book of Titus commends good works as do many other parts of the Bible. Faith that is unaccompanied by good work is a dead faith and not a saving, living faith.
Salvation is never the result of good works. But, good works are the result of saving grace in operation.) ...being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. (Titus 1:16) |

In the parable of the wise and foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-13), there were TEN who prepared to meet the bridegroom (analagous to Jesus Christ). All 10 had lamps but only 5 were truly prepared were a full supply of oil (grace). Only, "they that were ready went in with him to the marriage" (the kingdom of heaven). After that, the door was shut. The professing, baptized church includes true saints but also includes hypocrites and false professors whose show is more outward than inward. Although the gate be narrow and the path be narrow that leads to life, the gate and path are open. Although He will not bring all of the visible church, yet, the Triune God is bringing "many sons unto glory" (Heb 2:10). The Apostle Paul labored abundantly (1Co 15:10) with strong jealousy for those in the Church who were espoused to one husband, Jesus Christ, that he might present them at last as pure virgins to Christ (2Co 11:2). |
