Greetings sisters!
I hope you're striving on and standing in the truth wherever you are and in whatever life the Lord has for you! We have a wonderful Saviour and our God is no respecter of persons as all can come to Him to be saved! It's astounding that more don't really as so much is at stake. Life is so sobering really when you think of the two destinations for all people.
Oh how we want to be welcomed into His presence and not sent away. Let us keep fighting the good fight of faith and be on guard for anything that would stumble us or lead us into sin or compromise.When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
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:...
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:...
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Matthew 25:31-34,41,46
I like looking up the scriptures that are mentioned in the NT from the old. It helps put the two together and there's much that is the Lord's will for us right through the Word though some has changed (mostly the law that was added because of transgression until the promise came!). And they may be worded slightly differently so that may help us get a better understanding of what was meant.
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
1 Peter 3:10-12
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Psalm 34:11-16
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.1 Peter 1:15-16
For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.Leviticus 11:45
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.1 Peter 1:24-25
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 40:6-8
That's just a few in a short section of the NT. But there's so many and we know our Lord is the same and ultimately His ways remain the same in many ways. So let us keep walking in them.
Hold fast sisters and keep growing and standing where the Lord has called you! Love to you in His name.
