If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing...(1 Cor. 13:2b)

God's Word Keeps Things Simple.  Allow me to sight a few examples.

First from the Old Testament

1) Exodus 15:26, "If only you will obey the Lord your God . . . "

2) Deuteronomy26: 16, "This day the Lord your God commands you to keep these statutes . . . "

3) Deuteronomy 28:58-61, "If you do not observe and fulfill all the law written down in this book, if you do not revere this honored and dreaded name . . .  59. Then the Lord will strike you and your descendants with unimaginable plagues, virulent and choric, and with lingering and severe sickness."

Now the New Testament

4) 3 John11, "Dear friend, follow good examples, not bad ones. "

5) Galatians 6:7, "Make no mistake: God is not to be fooled; everyone reaps what they sow."

6) 1 Thess. 5:23, "May God  . . . the God of peace, make you holy through and through, and keep you sound in spirit, soul and body . . . "
