1 John 3 [6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. [7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. [8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the...

What a shame to discard all of Jesus' commandments. After Jesus gave these wonderful and rich commandments, he said: Matthew 7 [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will...

Ezekiel 18 [20] The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. [21] But if the wicked will...

Is walking in God's righteousness our "works" or His "works"? Ephesians 2: [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which...

One must be born from above. A person who is born from above will walk in God's righteousness, which Jesus explains what that entails in Mathew 5, 6 & 7 -- and in many other Scriptures.

Yes indeed. Matthew 5 [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Actually, what Jesus taught was God's standard of righteousness, unlike the scribes and Pharisees, and that's why he proceeded to explain it in the following verses from Matthew 5:21-48 and Matthew chapters 6 and 7. Jesus would not tell us what to do if He didn't expect us to live up to it...

Jesus then proceeds to give the standard of God's righteousness that we MUST live up to: Matthew 5 [21] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [22] But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his...

Jesus taught that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees if we expect to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5 [20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the...

God does not refer to His people as sinners. One is either a Saint or a sinner. One is either holy or unholy. One is either righteous or unrighteous. One is either on the narrow road that leads to life or the broad road that leads to eternal damnation. Judge yourself with God's mirror, the Holy...

That's what I am saying. A fruitless tree has no value. Jesus rebuked the fruitless fig tree and it withered away, dried up from the roots, to never be eaten of again, forever. So is a mere professing Christian; can his belief save him on that day? No.

I disagree with that interpretation. We are made new creations in Christ to bring forth works good for repentance. No. The thief on the Cross received Salvation at the last minutes of his life; it's the grace of God that saved him. Given the opportunity, however, he would have gone forth to...

While I don't involve myself in splitting hairs, it's Scripturally clear that no works = no salvation, as mere belief is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus lights a candle and expects it to burn bright in the dark.

Many in the Christian world have taken one verse in Ephesians and twisted it to suit their flesh. It's the Scripture that seems to suggest that Salvation requires no work, but that's not what the Scripture is trying to convey. Salvation does indeed require work, but not the works of the Law nor...

That Scripture is referring to 70 A.D., and thereafter. The disobedient Jewish people were dispersed into all nations around the world for their transgressions. In the late 1800's until this very day, God has been supernaturally bringing the dispersed Jewish people back into their land so that...

Except the Scripture points to it: Revelation 11 [7] And when they [the Two Witnesses] shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. [8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street...

God's two olive trees, the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth, go up in a Rapture. Revelation 11 [11] And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. [12] And they...

1 John 2 [3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in...

Jesus said that a tree is known by its fruit. If someone claims to be born again while bearing the devil's fruit of sin, then that person is either deceived or a liar.

A circumcised heart is indeed necessary to mortify the deeds of the flesh as the Lord commands. Jesus said, " If ye love me, keep my commandments" - John 14:15. Love is the mystery to walking in God's holiness and righteousness, sheltered under His wings.
