11) We are not to be guilty of adultery, fornication, uncleanness, drunkenness, covetousness, wrath, strife, sedition, hatred, emulation, boasting, vain glory, envy, jesting, or foolish talking (Eph.5:3 \u2013 4).<\/p>\n

The Gospel will not save us if we are disobedient to the commandments of Christ:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1) \u201cBlessed are they who do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city\u201d (Rev.22:14).<\/p>\n

2) \u201cEvery one that heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man that built his house upon the sand. And the rains descended and the floods came and the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it fell, and great was the fall of it\u201d (Matt.7:26).<\/p>\n

3) \u201cIt had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after they have known it to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them\u201d (2 Pet.2:21).<\/p>\n
