Pleasant Words from the Gospel

Then [Jesus] will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are
blessed by my God; take your inheritance, the kingdom [par-
adise] prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I

was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you
invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick
and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to vis-
it me.'... Then he will say to those on his left, 'you who are
cursed, into the eternal fire prepared... For I was hungry and
you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me
nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me
in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and
in prison and you did not look after me.' (Matthew, 25:34-36;
41-43)

Belief in and Obedience to God's

Commandments in His Holy Books

... I believe everything that agrees with the Law [the revela-
tion including God's commands] and that is written in the
Prophets, and I have the same hope in God as these men, that
there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the
wicked. So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before
God... (Acts, 24:14-16)

But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with
you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who

keep the words of this book. Worship God!" (Revelation,
22:9)
