2 Timothy 2:19

Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription:

"The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."

Matthew 7:

17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

1 John 2:29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.


Matthew 21:Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him.
