We must do what is righteous.
Great exhortations in the Word.
It’s all about God’s Will which pleases him.
The
will of God is about good things that please him and not doing bad things.
Abiding by Gods will with faith is proof of genuine loyalty.
We
are to do works for him.
We
must be blameless.
Mark
3;35
“For
whoever does the will of God is my brother and
sister and mother.”
The Word tells us we must do what is right!
1
Thessalonians 5;18
in
everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ
Jesus.
Jesus is the only one who is perfect in doing the right things.
James
4;17
So
whoever knows what is good to do and does not do it
is guilty of sin.

are the peacemakers, for they will be called the
children of God.
Jeremiah
8;4-13
Willful Disregard of God's Will Lead to Destruction
Willful Disregard of God's Will Lead to Destruction
4 The Lord said to me,
“Tell
them, ‘The Lord says,
Do
people not get back up when they fall down?
Do
they not turn around when they go the wrong way?
5
Why,
then, do these people of Jerusalem
continually
turn away from me in apostasy?
They
hold fast to their deception.
They
refuse to turn back to me.
6
I
have listened to them very carefully,
but
they do not speak honestly.
None
of them regrets the evil he has done.
None
of them says, “I have done wrong!”
All
of them persist in their own wayward course
like
a horse charging recklessly into battle.
7
Even
the stork knows
when
it is time to move on.
The
turtledove, swallow, and crane
recognize
the normal times for their migration.
But
my people pay no attention
to
what I, the Lord, require of them.
8
How
can you say, “We are wise!
We
have the law of the Lord”?
The
truth is, those who teach it have used their writings
to
make it say what it does not really mean.
9
Your
wise men will be put to shame.
They
will be dumbfounded and be brought to judgment.
Since
they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what
wisdom do they really have?
10
So I
will give their wives to other men
and
their fields to new owners.
For
from the least important to the most important of them,
all
of them are greedy for dishonest gain.
Prophets
and priests alike,
all
practice deceit.
11
They
offer only superficial help
for
the hurt my dear people have suffered.
They
say, “Everything will be all right!”
But
everything is not all right!
12
Are
they ashamed because they have done such disgusting things?
No,
they are not at all ashamed!
They
do not even know how to blush!
So
they will die just like others have died.
They
will be brought to ruin when I punish them,
says
the Lord.
13
I
will take away their harvests, says the Lord.
There
will be no grapes on their vines.
There
will be no figs on their fig trees.
Even
the leaves on their trees will wither.
The
crops that I gave them will be taken away.’
2

and perfect.

1;3-5

God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for
our sins to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of
our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever!
Amen.

6 Children, obey your parents
in the Lord for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and
mother,” which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise,
namely, 3 “that it may go well with you and that you will
live a long time on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not provoke your
children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the
Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your human
masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart as to Christ, 6 not
like those who do their work only when someone is watching—as
people-pleasers—but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. 7 Obey
with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord and not people, 8 because
you know that each person, whether slave or free, if he does something good,
this will be rewarded by the Lord.
9 Masters, treat your slaves
the same way, giving up the use of threats, because you know that both you and
they have the same master in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
