2) ................................................................

 

3) If you don't, you will have to face God's penalties.

 

(Choose from these words:)

 

and in your thoughts as well.        and obey our rules.         and go to Church every week.

A lot of people responded:

I'll avoid God's penalties.          I believe that God will get me to heaven.

But Jesus was saying something different:

1) You have got to obey God's rules

 

2) ................................................................

 

3) If you don't, you will have to face God's penalties.

 

(Choose from these words:)

and in your thoughts as well.      and obey our rules.      and go to Church every week.
