John 13:35 (KJV)

³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

A follower of Christ Jesus is a Christian, one who obeys God’s commands and statutes (Luke 1:75), being transformed in His image, pursuing holiness willingly, everyday (Hebrews 12:14).

A daily walk with and consistent work for the most High to fulfill His purpose here on the Earth is without compromise (Matthew 28:18-20(KJV))

Ephesians 2:8-9(NKJV)

8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Romans 1

Galatians 6

John 4 (NKJV)

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. ²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.²² You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

The TRUE Christian must walk with eyes of understanding and a discerning heart for there are many who preach blasphemy and heresies only for their own stomach’s sake and also to cunningly deplete the number of those to enter the Kingdom of God

                Phillippians 1:9-10

                Proverbs 28:11

                Romans 12:2

                Matthew 10:16

      Ephesians 5:15-20 (KJV)

¹⁵ See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

¹⁶ Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁷ Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

¹⁹ Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

²⁰ Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

The days are evil; pray without ceasing for one another, to overcome the enemy that is prowling the globe, preying on the defenseless, looking for whom to devour

GALATIANS 2: 20-21

Matthew 15: 10-20
