JESUS said, 'behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19 "And JESUS said unto him, 'why callest thou Me good? there is none good but ONE, that is GOD. Thou knowest the Commandments, do not commit adultery, do not kill,do not steal, do not bear false witness,defraud not, honour thy father and thy mother.' And he answered and said unto Him, "Master, all these have I observed from my youth.' Then JESUS beholding him loved him,* and said unto him, 'one thing thou lackest, go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and take up the cross and follow Me." Mark 1018-21 [also see Luke 12:33 and Luke 16:9, and Matthew 6:19-20] JESUS said, "lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither most nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal;for where your treasure is,there will your heart be also. The light [lamp in footnote] of the body is the eye if therefore thine eye be single [healthy, seeing good] thy whole body shall be full of light; but if thine eye be evil, [seeing evil,reading evil] then thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness,how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the ONE and love the other [the devil] or else he will hold to THE ONE; and despise the other. Ye cannot serve GOD and mammon. [Winston's English Dictionary says word is from the Aramaic word mamon, meaning greed for riches, and material wealth.] Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for your body what ye shall put on; is not the life more than meat; and the body than raiment? Behold, the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they spin,yet your heavenly FATHER feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" Matthew 6:19-26 * There is a verse that says that GOD loves those who obey/honor the Commandments. It is written at John ch 15: 10 and several other places also and is: "if ye keep MY Commandments ye shall abide in MY love; even as I have kept MY FATHER's Commandments and abide in HIS love. '
