5. The hope of being saved by a profession, or church membership, or faith, that does not save us from sin Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Heb 12:14 Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Tit 1:16 What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:3 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
1Jn 2:29 For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1Jn 5:4-5 But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
