Ezekiel 18:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father, who is in heaven:

to them, who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, and honor, and immortality, eternal life:

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

What is the advantage, my brethren, if any one say that he has faith, and he hath not works, can faith alone save him?

And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep his commandments.

Little children, let no one deceive you: he that practiseth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous:

and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.

Happy are they that do his commandments, so shall they have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
