The Bare Necessities

The Bare Necessities
2
Luke 1428 "For which of you, intending to build
a tower, does not sit down first and count the
cost, whether he has enough to finish it -- 29
"lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is
not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock
him, 30 "saying, 'This man began to build and
was not able to finish.' 31 "Or what king, going
to make war against another king, does not sit
down first and consider whether he is able with
ten thousand to meet him who comes against him
with twenty thousand? 32 "Or else, while the
other is still a great way off, he sends a
delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 "So
likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all
that he has cannot be My disciple.
3
Romans 1017 So then faith comes by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.
4
John 316 "For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes
in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life. John 824 "Therefore I said to you that
you will die in your sins for if you do not
believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
5
James 224 You see then that a man is justified
by works, and not by faith only.
6
Luke 177 "And which of you, having a servant
plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he
has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit
down to eat'? 8 "But will he not rather say to
him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird
yourself and serve me till I have eaten and
drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'? 9
"Does he thank that servant because he did the
things that were commanded him? I think not. 10
"So likewise you, when you have done all those
things which you are commanded, say, 'We are
unprofitable servants. We have done what was our
duty to do.' "
7
Acts 1730 "Truly, these times of ignorance God
overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere
to repent, 2 Corinthians 79 Now I rejoice,
not that you were made sorry, but that your
sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry
in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss
from us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow produces
repentance leading to salvation, not to be
regretted but the sorrow of the world produces
death. Luke 133 "I tell you, no but unless you
repent you will all likewise perish.
8
Romans 109 that if you confess with your mouth
the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God
has raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved. Matthew 1032 " Therefore whoever
confesses Me before men, him I will also confess
before My Father who is in heaven. 33 "But
whoever denies Me before men, him I will also
deny before My Father who is in heaven.
9
2 Timothy 316 All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of
God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for
every good work.
10
1 Peter 321 There is also an antitype which now
saves us -- baptism (not the removal of the filth
of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience
toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, Mark 1616 "He who believes and is
baptized will be saved but he who does not
believe will be condemned. Acts 238 Then
Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of
you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins and you shall receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.
11
Acts 2216 'And now why are you waiting? Arise
and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling
on the name of the Lord.'
12
Romans 63 Or do you not know that as many of us
as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized
into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with
Him through baptism into death, that just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of
the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life. 5 For if we have been united
together in the likeness of His death, certainly
we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man
was crucified with Him, that the body of sin
might be done away with, that we should no longer
be slaves of sin.
13
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we
shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ,
having been raised from the dead, dies no more.
Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For
the death that He died, He died to sin once for
all but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be
dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
14
Colossians 212 buried with Him in baptism, in
which you also were raised with Him through faith
in the working of God, who raised Him from the
dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses
and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made
alive together with Him, having forgiven you all
trespasses,
15
Matthew 2819 "Go therefore and make disciples of
all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 "teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you
16
2 Peter 317 You therefore, beloved, since you
know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall
from your own steadfastness, being led away with
the error of the wicked 18 but grow in the
grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever.
Amen.
17
2 Peter 12 Grace and peace be multiplied to you
in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3
as His divine power has given to us all things
that pertain to life and godliness, through the
knowledge of Him who called us by glory and
virtue, 4 by which have been given to us
exceedingly great and precious promises, that
through these you may be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust. 5 But also for this very
reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith
virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge
self-control, to self-control perseverance, to
perseverance godliness,
18
7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to
brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things
are yours and abound, you will be neither barren
nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is
shortsighted, even to blindness, and has
forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to
make your call and election sure, for if you do
these things you will never stumble 11 for so
an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly
into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
19
12 For this reason I will not be negligent to
remind you always of these things, though you
know and are established in the present truth.
13 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in
this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, 14
knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just
as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover
I will be careful to ensure that you always have
a reminder of these things after my decease.
