2 Tim 3:1-2 Realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy. Matt 23:25 What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law & you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup & the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed & self-indulgence! Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. — Did you know that selfishness actually dethrones our God, for our own selfishness. We can’t serve God & Mammon. Are you really willing to sacrifice everything for His purpose? It’s a test! —James 1:3-4 For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. & let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect & complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. — Loving God is what it is all about! & The result is “The Crown of Life”!
