@glitterbag,
Best if you believe Jesus on the subject. He assures all-The only ones who are his friends and that remain in his love Are the ones obeying him-John 15:10-14
Heb 5:9--Salvation for those who obey.)-- The bible also teaches-proof of ones love for God and Jesus is by obeying. John 14:15,21)
Lip service = 5%, obeying=95%
The biggest problem for this world is FEW even know what Jesus teaches, thus its impossible for them to obey, they listened to blind guides who teach little of what Jesus taught, and are paid to teach a religions brand of dogma. Those teachers are ear ticklers with words like-you are saved. They don't know who will be saved.
