INTRODUCTION
1 I hope you will put up with a little more of my foolishness. Please bear with me.
2 For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ.
3 But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
4 You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
God is calling everyone, everywhere, to repentance.

30 “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.

9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
There is no Christianity that does not include and involve the body of Christ as represented by the local church. I found 100 verses with a quick search. Here are 2:

18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
14 I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon,
15 so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Historically, God has always operated by the same essential pattern;

He speaks to, and then calls, a man or woman who chooses to trust and obey Him. Through he or she He revives His work in the earth through His church.

Some choose to follow the move of God, some seek security, safety, and comfort in denominational churchianity.

2 O Lord, I have heard the report of You and was afraid. O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make [Yourself] known! In wrath [earnestly] remember love, pity, and mercy.
There is no legitimate faith that does not require relationship with God and other believers.
There is no legitimate faith that does not require relationship with God and other believers.
12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
There is no legitimate Christianity that does not involve faith.
There is no legitimate Christianity that does not involve faith.
17 For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.
Faith by its very nature, always requires trust.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
There is no promise of Christ that you will live your best life now. This is a doctrine of demons.

33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.
18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,
21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.
24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.
25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
There is no genuine faith that ignores the suffering of others.
There is no genuine faith that ignores the suffering of others.
13 Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.
16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
There is no genuine Christianity that can be lived without the very real and tangible grace of God.

8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
If you lack grace, you lack humility.
If you lack grace, you lack humility.
6 And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
1 Peter 5:5–6 (NLT)
5 In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
There is no legitimate faith in Christ that allows a believer to harbor unforgiveness.

14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.
35 “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”
Being born again is no the end-all experience. It is the entrance-way to the Kingdom of God.

3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
There is no transformation without the word of God as experienced by revelation as given by the Holy Spirit.

2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Jesus is the Word, Jesus is the truth. All are absolute and not situational for relative, however, they are progressive in revelation.

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
The more you know Him, the more the love God is being shed abroad in your heart, conquering all fear and empowering every endeavor.
12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
Truth exists without regard for opinion or happiness. In fact, before it sets up free, it often makes you miserable.
10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
