According to Jesus in Hebrews 13:5 “…He Himself has said,
“I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you….”
God has promised to those who follow Him:
never forsake you,
– Swift Paraphrase of Hebrews 13:5
FOR MORE:
Can God leave me? See: Romans 8:1,37-39 Once He saved me and promised “nothing can separate” me from His love – can I suddenly lose it all?

Faith and Works – John 15:4 “…bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith….”
Useless faith is exactly that – useless
John 15:4
Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.

John 15:14-17 You are My friends if you do what I command you.… I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain…. 17 This I command you, that you love one another.
Matthew 10:38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
John 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
James 2:14-26 “Faith without works is dead.”
IF You Follow Me Excerpt: Words are easy. Saying a prayer is easy. But “following” is the clincher. If we do not follow Christ, then our words are false. What path are you on?
“Faith without works is dead.” – James 2:14-26
When our walk does not match-up to our talk, then our talk is worthless. Jesus Himself said that the ones who follow Him will not walk in darkness. Because He is the Light, if we walk with Him, we will not be in darkness. To walk in darkness is to walk without the presence of God daily in our consciousness.

The Godman Jesus said, “Follow Me”
Promises God makes about your salvation…what God promised to those who follow Him
Are you a repentant sinner -or- “self-proclaimed” righteous?
If you allow a grudge, hate, slander, gossip, racism, anti-any-race
Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought – Luke 11:27-28 Excerpt: Are you hating on someone? Ever thought about this?…how, “for salvation in Christ — hating is life changing”? Part of Jesus’ message says:
1 John 3:14
We know
that we have passed
out of death into Life,
because we love the brothers and sisters.
He who does not love
remains in [spiritual] death.
Hate is “eternal-life-changing”.

Are you still captive under God’s condemnation or freed from it – forever?
Imagine what “being saved” has meant to you
Imagine you the perfect person
“I will no never, never ever, in any way leave you in the lurch…” Excerpt: In the Greek this last phrase of Hebrews 13:5 NASB says (translated literally from Greek to English):
“I will no never, never ever,
in any way
leave you in the lurch,
in helpless straits,
and let you down in a destitute situation.”
Hebrews 13:5 “…He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,”
I will never, “no never” leave you,
never forsake you,
Never again Excerpt: I am now a forever citizen of Heaven. Nothing can change that, because it is God Himself that stands behind His Word. THAT’s the way it is in the dimensions of God’s very real world!
This world is not my home! That is why…
I live with confidence
I am not afraid of death
I cast aside fear. God is my refuge and strength
I do not allow sin to reign over me
I have exceedingly vibrant joy in my inner soul
Although I am not perfect, I have, growing in me… “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”
I converse with my Savior all throughout my day
I make it my aim to do everything I do – with all my might, and – for the glory of God
I refuse to worry about God’s capability to save me.
Being saved means forever never again condemned
I live with confidence Excerpt: Although I am not perfect, I have, growing in me…
“love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”.
That grows confidence!
“being always
filled with
good courage
and
confident hope”
– 2 Corinthians 5:8
