Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart that departs from the living God.

For we also have received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith

The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people despise Me? How long will they not trust in Me despite all the signs I have performed among them?

But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”

because they did not believe God
or rely on His salvation.

They forgot God their Savior,
who did great things in Egypt,

the head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.
If you do not stand firm in your faith,
then you will not stand at all.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;

Anyone who believes in Him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.

Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

He that

Therefore, He is always able to save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

Yet they say to God: “Leave us alone!
We don’t want to know Your ways.

But as for me, God’s presence is my good.
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
so I can tell about all You do.

Pay attention and come to Me;
listen, so that you will live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
the promises assured to David.

Evil generation,
pay attention to the word of the Lord!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?
Why do My people claim,
“We will go where we want;
we will no longer come to You”?

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Must

But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher?

A rewarder

For he considered the reproach because of the Messiah to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since his attention was on the reward.

After these events, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:

Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield;
your reward will be very great.

May the Lord reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

Then people will say,
“Yes, there is a reward for the righteous!
There is a God who judges on earth!”

The wicked man earns an empty wage,
but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.

Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Anyone who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. And anyone who welcomes a righteous person because he’s righteous will receive a righteous person’s reward.

But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.

Diligently

“As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

Honor His holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

I have sought You with all my heart;
don’t let me wander from Your commands.

I love those who love me,
and those who search for me find me.

In my bed at night
I sought the one I love;
I sought him, but did not find him.

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

But seek first the kingdom of God

and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

“But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided for you.

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,

Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found at peace with Him without spot or blemish.
