Malachi 4:1-2 KJV
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
1 John 2:3-6 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

John 15:9-10 (WEBBE) Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.
Psalm 16:11 NIV
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Matthew 7:14
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
John 10:7
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
