3 John 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Those persons who say, "Jesus is Lord", but do not follow scripture nor obey scripture are not of God but are of the antichrist.

Jude 1 to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Sanctified: set aside for the purpose of God

Jude 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves
That which we know "naturally" are the works of the flesh which are natural to each of us.
Galations 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
It is the nature of man to do these works of the flesh.
But those persons of God are given another spirit so we can go another way, against our nature but by the will of God.
But some, who call themselves Christian, live in those works of the flesh.
None will inherit the kingdom of God by living in the works of the flesh.

Romans 1:11 The apostle Paul said to the church ... For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Paul had inside him spiritual gifts given by God for the church. His longing was to the effect that he would be able to bring forth those gifts by the Holy Spirit. Each of us have that same longing toward the church. We want to be able to give those gifts that are in us. Unfortunately today we are prohibited in the regular churches by the way they have set up the churches to keep people from sharing. So we do as well as we can to share in other ways.

Romans 1:16-18 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
