                 To Believe in and Obey God's Messengers

                 [Jesus:] He who is not with me is against me, and he who does
                 not gather with me scatters. (Matthew, 12:30)


                 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one
                 He has sent." (John, 6:29)

                 Then he said to them, "... whoever welcomes me welcomes
                 the One [God] Who sent me." (Luke, 9:48; Mark 9:37; Matthew
                 10:40)

                 [Jesus:] He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you
                 rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects Him [God] Who sent
                 me." (Luke, 10:16)


                 Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God
                 requires?" Jesus answered, "The work of God [what God re-
                 quires] is this: to believe in the one He has sent." (John, 6:28-
                 29)

                 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him
                 [God] Who sent me has eternal life and will not be con-
                 demned; he has crossed over from death to life. (John, 5:24)

                 Why do you... not do what I say? I will show you what he is
                 like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them in-

                 to practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down
                 deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the
                 torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it
                 was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not
                 put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the
                 ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck
