The NT tells you, if you are born again, to be "in the faith".....to make certain of this....
2nd Corinthians 13:5
It does not tell you to be "IN the commandments" or "IN the law", or anything that has to do with performance or self effort .. as how to be "IN the FAITH".
Jesus gave you some commandments, but you can do those and be water baptised and not even be born again, and many lost tho devout religious people are practicing the words of Jesus while never being born again... (and that wont save you).
The reason it says to be "in the Faith", is because you are "justified by Faith", and "its impossible to please God without FAITH". And "the work of God is that you believe on the one (by Faith) whom God SENT".
Salvation is "Grace THRU Faith...without works," = NO commandment keeping, enduring to the end, water baptism, keeping the Torah, or anything else that JESUS DIDN'T Do on the Cross to SAVE YOU..
Do you want to know if you are in the faith OR if you are stuck in your own self righteousness and personal Cross rejecting Legalism.?
Lets find out what God already knows about you, that might come as a really big surprise to you.
I can show you how you can find out if you are on the Cross trying to save yourself, or if Jesus is on the Cross and you have faith alone In Him (Salvation) to get you into heaven.
Are you ready to face the truth about yourself?
Are you ready to find out if you are in the Faith, or if you are on the Cross?
Self Deception is perfectly shattered right where true personal discovery actually starts.
Here are the 2 Questions....... and be HONEST.
1.) If you knew you were going to die, in 2 mins......What are you trusting in right NOW, .... To get you to Heaven ? ????
2.) Who or what are you trusting in, to KEEP YOU SAVED ?
Your answers prove if you are in the faith, or if you are hanging on your own cross, and have become a "self saver".... A Legalist.....someone who trying by self effort to do only what Christ alone has DONE on The Cross FOR YOU, as "the Free Gift of salvation" "the gift of Righteousness".
So, are you on the Cross trying to keep yourself saved? Are you trying to keep yourself saved by YOUR WORKS and EFFORT and PERFORMANCE and commandment keeping and all that Self Performance stuff? IF so, you are NOT in the Faith.

God came into this world, as Jesus The Christ, to solve and eternal issue we have...
We have NO RIGHTEOUSNESS.
ALL The Commandments combined and kept can't give it, and the Law is what judges you to be a sinner.....So, you can imagine the mess a "christian" gets into, theologically and spiritually, if they are straining at the NT trying to find a verse or 3 that they can misunderstand that they believe seem to be telling their self righteousness nature...."see, that one says you have to DO this to stay saved"......
Yet, can all the Torah keeping, and enduring to the end, and water baptism, and church membership, and commandment keeping..and giving to the poor, and giving your body to be burned as a martyr...give you righteousness? Can any of this MAKE YOU RIGHTEOUS. = NOPE.
If it could, then Jesus could have stayed in Heaven and spared Himself a savage beating, an indescribable scourging, and a horrible horrible. crucifixion.
Notice he didnt....
So, i guess God was correct when He stated that He "found fault with the OLD TESTAMENT and the OLD COVENANT, and all those COMMANDMENTS AND LAWS....= as they could not give you any righteousness.
Not in the OT and not in '2030.
Today, you have "christians" who are disputing that, and will show you all their self effort using a few misused verses to try to tell everyone they can subvert that if you dont do all that stuff that God found fault with 2000 yrs ago, then you will "lose your salvation"...
SO, After God said He found fault with the commandments and the law, because they cant make you righteous by keeping all of them, (which you can't do), and are judged by the law for not keeping them = SINNER....... He then sent Jesus to the Cross to write a new Covenant and a New Testament in God's own blood. (Jesus is God). And this New Testament, testifies that the shed Blood of God (Jesus on the Cross) will redeem you from your sin, and that this Gospel when preached and believed by FAITH is what God will only accept to then justify you by your FAITH. "Faith is counted as Righteousness". = "This is the GIFT of God".
Amazing that 2000+ yrs after the Cross and the Risen Lord went back to Glory, you have "christians' that are still hanging themselves on their cross of self righteousness, and trying to get you up on your yours.
Thank you JESUS< that its not by our works of righteousness, but by God's GRACE that we are saved thru Faith, and kept saved, BY GOD.
Philippians 1:6 :
"God, who Himself began your salvation in you..(born again) will HIMSELF be faithful to complete it".
Salvation was completed on the Cross.
We get it as a Gift and God makes certain its completed.
"my eternal hope is built on nothing less, then Jesus's blood and righteousness".

Our old man, prior to be born again, that was under the law, is now risen in Newness of Life, and contains Eternal Life.
Jesus IS eternal Life, and If we have Him, we have eternal life. 1 John 5:13.
Paul said that he was not sent to baptize (water) but to Preach "the Cross & Christ crucified".
The Cross is the "power of God", because it yields the shed blood and the sacrificial death of our Holy sin bearer.
There is Eternal Power in the Blood of the Lamb that redeems us from our sin AND the power of sin, and into eternal "ONENESS" with God and Christ.
All that call on the Name of The Lord, by Faith, having received Christ as Savior, shall be redeemed by the blood of Jesus, as there is no other way to God. John 14:6
Jesus entered Heaven, after He was resurrected, "having OBTAINED Eternal Redemption for US".
We dont do that. We cant do that. And if someone here is trying to do that, then look right now at your nail scarred wrists and pierced side and whip scourged back and face that is "marred beyond recognition"...
If you dont have those, then get off the Cross, and starting right now..... never give anyone but Jesus THE CHRIST ALL THE CREDIT DO HIM ALONE FOR SAVING YOU AND KEEPING YOU SAVED.
The Cross is where the law was nailed and Grace was delivered to the World as "the gift of righteousness" thru the Blood of Jesus, and your blood need not apply, reader, if you are the one i'm talking to..
Did you take my test? Did you pass it?
Its like this, Reader..... if a believer is trying to save themselves by their lifestyle, or if they believe they can lose their salvation UNLESS they PERFORM to be accepted by God....., then they have kicked Jesus The Christ off the Nails, and have nailed themselves to the Cross using the Law and the Commandments, generally.
To find yourself up on the Cross as a born again believer happened just as soon as you stopped believing that Christ alone keeps you saved and you started thinking that you had to do something to stay saved.
"You are not under the Law, but Under GRACE". And this means, as long as you are not trying to keep yourself saved by your self effort, you are "under Grace". But if you have your little scripture pack that you have concluded is now what you must PERFORM to keep yourself saved, then that scripture pack has now become your false Savior, as you are trusting in IT, to keep you saved. If you have gone there, theologically and spiritually, then you are "walking in the Flesh". "Flesh" is another NT term for "self effort" regarding the context of Salvation.
"walking in the Flesh", does not me being backslidden, its mean you have turned the Cross into your own throne of self righteousness.
Grace, is God on the Cross as Jesus the Messiah offering "justification by Faith", as : "to those who worketh not but BELIEVETH on Him who Justifies the Ungodly" = thru the Blood of Jesus.
"Falling from Grace" is to submit to carnal self righteousness that replaces the Cross with Self Effort.
Thats "walking in the Flesh".
There are many Christians and non, who are Grace Deniers, whose main ministry is to try to chop down the cross by using the commandments, or verses that they misuse against the Blood Atonement to try to prove you have to keep yourself saved by doing something OF Yourself.
Reader...If you are that person, then when you answered my 2 Questions, your only answer was not "JESUS" and that is because you are Not trusting in Christ alone to keep you saved and get you to heaven.
Preaching or Teaching this "self effort" as the way to "stay saved", is to find yourself under a Curse, as provided by Paul in Galatians 1:8, and this is the only curse that you as a born again Christian can find yourself under.
And why does this happen?
Well, you did it to yourself, or your commentary did it to you, or your Minister or Pastor or similar did it to you, or your Seminar did it to you, or your Local Church or Denominational "statement of faith" did it to you. Maybe your buddies on a Christian Forum led you to into this spiritual darkness.
And if you teach or preach the same.... that self effort is required to stay saved, which insults Christ's blood sacrifice and denies the Grace of God, then you have gone to a spiritual place within your own faith, that is cursed.
Thats a biggie.
So, prove yourself that you be "IN THE FAITH"< and not on the Cross.
The NT tells you, if you are born again, to be "in the faith".....to make certain of this....
2nd Corinthians 13:5
It does not tell you to be "IN the commandments" or "IN the law", or anything that has to do with performance or self effort .. as how to be "IN the FAITH".
