works

Reader, When a person hears the "Gospel", as, "faith comes by hearing" ... then this faith is proof something happened in the heart of the Believer that God SEES... as "God sees the heart" And what is that, that God sees that has happened inside you? God sees your "repentance" ....that is of...

Jesus said that without the works of humility, one cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 18 [1] At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? [2] And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, [3]...

The word teaches us that as we think we are, so we are.... And that applies to the BELIEVER.. So, if a believer (thinks) = sees themselves as a "saved sinner", instead of as a "made righteous" "Heir of God".. "having eternal life", and "seated in heavenly places"....... If the BELIEVER sees...

Hi there, So yes, just to give you a little strength for your armory: the Devil not only has masqueraded as an angel of light (letters, from memory), but is able to create false emotion and erroneous instruction. That means we need to know our Bible, but also how our Bible is shared amongst us...

Hi there, Pleasing So I have really nailed what it is that confuses me, when people say "without faith you can't please God" and "you can't achieve salvation by works": their sentiment is respectable, and their earnestness admirable, but there is a problem with the way, in which they give no...

Hi there! So I thought I would post this in the Eschatological forum, because this is where the most contention about what is coming is to be found. I am not trying to present a specific case, for the order of things to come, save that I believe the experience of the Rapture, is supposed to...

Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...

- Reader, or Saint. A.). Made Righteous" = "In Christ". How would you teach that to your SS class or to your mother? 1.) You'd explain to them that ........ '""" the Spirit is THE... born again.."""" In other words, when Jesus said....>"You must be born again"....>He was not talking about...

Hi there! So as Jesus said "Wisdom is justified by her children" and there is the child who is faithful and the child who is diligent. Now having been faithful, there is always the temptation to sin and sin gets in the way of diligence, but if you have acknowledged your conscience that what you...

““Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be...

Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown...

Hearing /Reading / Receiving ~ The Word of God What is the consequence?

There appears to be some confusion as to what actually constitutes salvation, how it is procured, and how, even whether, it needs to be retained. There are threads all over the place discussing various aspects of the gospel from go to woe (perhaps an unfortunate pun) but what prompted this...

- Jesus said.....>"you must be born AGAIN". Jesus teaches........there is the 1st birth, where you as a baby, are "born of water."...= your mother's water breaks, and you come out of her womb. This is "born of water" the 1st Birth. Jesus then says...."you must be ....BORN....AGAIN".....as...

I think that many differences in theology are the results of Christians definition of WORKS. Some categorize works into two buckets. Those of the regenerated spirit and those that are physical outward works. We could discuss for days on the century old debate on the belief that any work earns...

Precious friend(s), thanks for your participation in This Important Matter! I believe water baptism is The Main Divider of christian denominations. I pray {who will join me?} that we would ALL be united For God, and that many will be blessed And Encouraged, prayerfully And Carefully reviewing...

Many people argue that Paul and James are at odds with each other when it comes to salvation by grace and works. I disagree. I believe they are both saying the same thing, from different directions Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is...
