Psalm 115:2-8 Why do the nations say, “Where's their God now?” Our God is in heaven—he can do whatever he wants! Their idols are just silver and gold—things made by human hands. They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see. They have ears, but they can't hear. They have noses, but they can't smell. They have hands, but they can't feel. They have feet, but they can't walk. They can't even make a noise in their throats! Let the people who made these idols and all who trust in them become just like them!
Daniel 4:34-37 “At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes to heaven. My reason returned to me, and I praised the Most High. I worshipped and glorified the one who lives forever because his rule is everlasting; his kingdom is for all time. All of earth's inhabitants are nothing in comparison. The Most High does whatever he wants with heaven's forces and with earth's inhabitants. No one can contain his power or say to him, 'What do you think you are doing?' So at than moment my reason returned to me. My honor and splendor came back to me for the glory of my kingdom. My associates and my princes wanted to be with me again. Not only was I reinstated over my kingdom, I received more power than ever before.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, worship, magnify, and glorify the king of
heaven. All his works are truth, all his paths are justice, and he is able to humble all who walk in pride.”
Luke 3:7-14 Then John said to the crowds who came to be baptized by him, “You children of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the angry judgment that is coming soon? Produce fruit that shows that you have changed your hearts and lives. And don't even think of saying to yourselves, Abraham is our father. I tell you that God is able to raise up Abraham's children from these stones. The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and tossed into the fire.” The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?” He answered, “whoever has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and whoever has food must do the same.” Even tax collectors came to be baptized. They said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” He replied, “Collect no more than your are authorized to collect.” Soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we do?”
He answered, “Don't cheat or harass anyone, and be satisfied with your pay.”
1 John 4:18-21 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear expects punishment.
The person who is afraid has not been made perfect in love. We love because God first love us. Those who say, “I love God” and hate their brothers or sisters are liars.
After all, those who don't love their brothers or sisters whom they have seen can hardly love God, whom they have not seen. This commandment we have from him: Those who claim to love God ought to love their brother and sister also.
