Where your treasure is so is there your heart

Jesus said…for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single (if you have tunnel vision seeking the light), your whole body shall be full of light. But if your eye be evil (if you seek not the light), your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is the darkness…(if you walk not in the light then your good deeds are not of the light but the darkness)…

…He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters…

…Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

(Mat 6:21-23 Mat 12:33-37 Mat 12:30)

Jesus is the truth...the light...you need for your soul's freedom

Jesus also said…

Again therefore Jesus spoke unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life…Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me…Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(Joh 14:6 Joh 8:12 Joh 8:31-32)

The Danger of Hypocrisy and Lukewarm Faith

…I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth…

…Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, (preachers knowing they’re not right with God) hypocrites! for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. You blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel! Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess. You blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity…

…Warning unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte (convert); and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

(Mat 23:15 Mat 23:23-28 Rev 3:15-16)

The Struggle is Real...Worldly Desires vs. Eternal Devotion

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory (prestige and position) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever. (1 Jn 2:15-17)
