Jeremiah 17:9-10
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand
it?" 10 "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his
deeds deserve."
Philippians 1:21-23
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." 22 "If I am to go on living in the body, this will
mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!" 23 "I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and
be with Christ, which is better by far; And the thief on the cross was guaranteed to with Christ at death"
Luke 23:39-43
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished
justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." 42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember
me when you come into your kingdom." 43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
And those who do not know and trust in Christ will be cast into the lake of fire,
Revelation 20:14-15
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Those who just give the Bible, God, and Jesus Christ lip-service
will not get to heaven.
Matthew 7:21-23
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will
of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your
name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!
(Thanks Matt!)

forget the Lord your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant
terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor?

John 15:14-17 (New International Version)
(14) "You are my friends if you do
what I command. (15)I no longer call you servants, because a servant
does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have
made known to you. (16)You did not choose me, but I chose you and
appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
(17)This is my command: Love each other."

FROM THE QU'RAN, Penguin translation:
Many are courious about what the Qu'ran really says. Here are some quotes we found
interesting to shed light on the faith of Islam.
37:40-37:57
Penguin p. 170
"But
the true servants of Allah shall be provided for, feasting on fruit, and honoured in the gardens of delight. Reclining face
to face on soft couches, they shall be served with a goblet filled at a gushing fountain, white, and delicious to whose who
drink it. It will neither dull their senses nor befuddle them. They shall sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as
the sheltered eggs of ostriches. "
16:57-16:63
Penguin p.308
"If
Allah punished men for their sins, not one creature would be left alive. He respites them to an appointed day; when their
hour is come, not for one moment shall they stay behind: nor can they go before it. "
3:14-3:19
Penguin p.409
"Men
are tempted by the lure of women and offspring, of hoarded treasures of gold and silver, of splendid horses, cattle, and plantations.
These are the comforts of this life, but far better is the return to Allah.
Say: 'Shall I tell you of better things than
these, with which the righteous shall be rewarded by their Lord? Theirs shall be gardens watered by running streams, where
they shall dwell forever: wives of perfect chastity, and grace from Allah.'
Allah is watching over His servants, those
who say: 'Lord, we believe in You: forgive us our sins and keep us from the torment of Hell-fire'; who are steadfast, sincere,
obedient, and charitable; and who implore forgiveness at break of day. "
