Fight for freedom

2 John 1
9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.

James 1
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Philippians 4
9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Titus 1
16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

1 John 2
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

"and to those who do not obey the gospel " meaning people who know God and the gospel but do not obey it. You cant just say Jesus is Lord and go about life as normal the people Jesus says begone to literally say 'Lord Lord" they are calling Jesus Lord but being rejected by him. You must believe in your heart and that belief will produce fruit of doing what Jesus taught

2 Thessalonians 1
8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Jesus loves those who believe in him and keep his commandments. If someone says they are saved and love God and are loved by God but do not keep the commands of Jesus they are liars who deceive and get deceived. Believe in Jesus means to believe in his teachings and if you don't do them you clearly don't actually believe in them. You cant say you are Christian while also believing in stuff like "self defense" or "religious freedom". saying your Christian isnt what determines if you are a Christian, weather you practice Jesus teachings and try to live like him is

John 14
21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

Luke 6
46 “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

Lamentations 5
1 Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
Look, and see our reproach!
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
Our houses to aliens.

Lamentations 5
11 They ravished the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.

you are being tested you who say you believe in Jesus but fume at whats happening in the word. do you protest and put faith in man to make a change or to you deny yourself and pick up your cross and trust in God forgiving the evil men who God allows to do what they are doing. dont be like the weak men who did the crusades trust in God and follow what his Christ says. do not take the wide path

1 Peter 4
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
