There is a general misconception many Believers have about Faith, as THE savior.
\
Which of course is not the case.
Many who are not really time invested in rightly dividing the word will never be deeply connected to an understanding of God's Amazing Grace, So,.. this type will usually have a theologically misguided idea about "faith" being their savior. And because of this, which is probably caused by them believing misleading teaching that came from the pulpit or worse, too much time spent over years studying theologically unsound bible commentaries while their BIBLE became secondary. This type believer is convinced that Faith saves them, and so, they believe and teach that the born again must hold onto their faith, or otherwise, they lose their salvation as a result of not holding onto it.
Well....this is not the truth, but a lot of people believe it and teach it.
This type heretic lives in : "James", in general.
So, lets nail something down in your soul so that you can rely on the Truth.
You are not saved by holding on to anything or enduring anything.
You are not saved based on you, or your effort. You are not kept saved based on you or your self effort.
You are saved because GOD is holding on to you thru the Blood of Jesus.
You are saved because you are BORN AGAIN.
Faith chasers, commandment keepers, and all those who are trying to reach God by works, are not going to be happy after they die.
But the Born again, who have trusted Christ, are going to be very happy after they die.
Now,...its like this... = "God who began your salvation IN YOU, will HIMSELF be Faithful to complete it"...= for you.
So, as this is the case....then what your faith did, is get God to release His Righteousness unto you. So, its the Righteousness of Christ that God gives you, thru your BELIEVING, that is now counted as you being "justified by Faith" once and for all,= in God's eternal perspective.
When a "christian" has a carnal mind, they can't see God's perspective, so, they pursue self righteousness instead.
Their Salvation becomes "all about ME". "what IM doing". "see MY effort".. = the false gospel of works.
Faith is not the Savior.
GOD is the savior, thru Christ.
And once you gave God your faith, once you BELLIEVED, then God Accepted this FAITH..ONCE.. and this became your righteousness, which is God's eternal gift to you.
And this "Gift of Righteousness", that is your new birth, which has put you "in Christ", and "Christ in You".......IS YOUR REDEMPTION.
God left Heaven, and became one of Us, virgin born, just to do this for you. Just to die for you... Salvation is an eternal Love Gift paid for by the Blood of God Himself, as Jesus on the Cross.
2 ways to think of Faith would be to consider it...1.) the Channel thru which God sent His Righteousness. Or, 2.) you could consider Faith as the transmission device thru which God imputed His Righteousness into you, and upon you.
But no matter how you consider faith, it is God who Saves and Faith activated Him to DO IT for you as a GIFT... ONCE = "the Gift of Righteousness"...
THE end result is that you are SAVED. BORN AGAIN.... Heir of God and Joint Heir with Christ. A completed SALVATION, that is ONLY ONLY ONLY based on Jesus shedding His blood for you, so that your sin is removed, forgiven, and in its place what was your unrighteousness has now become the Born again REAL YOU as "the Righteousness of Christ".
This is who you are now if you are born again. You are now "in Christ" because Christ's very righteousness has become your new Eternal Identity.
Christ is now where you are, (in you) and you are where He is, "in Christ"... forever and ever and ever.
So, here is the end result of your faith.....
This is so remarkable.
Look at this wonderful verse. Hebrews 12:2
'"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith"
Look at that. This is more remarkable Grace, along with this... "" God who starts (in you) and complete for you, your SALVATION"""..... Philippians 1:6
So, now , Praise God, you have Jesus Himself who now LITERALLY takes over your faith, within the Kingdom of God, and FINISHES IT FOR YOU !
You gave God your faith, then God takes this and starts and completes your Salvation, while Christ takes your Faith and FINISHES THIS FOR YOU AS WELL.
PRAISE GOD !!
Jesus is the "author" of your faith, by being the one who wrote it, in His blood.
Then He finishes it by His Resurrection, which is your Redemption and the Blood Atonement.
When you "Look unto Jesus", you are BELIEVING....in the Gospel.
To "Look unto" means to place trust in, and to BELIEVE...."unto Salvation". and then God and Christ take it from there.
Grace is remarkable.
God's Grace is a GIFT that in all ways totally completes your redemption for you.
Its starts with believing the gospel (faith), then God completes your Salvation and Christ "authors" your Faith after you Believe. Its a literal and eternal contract between you, God, and Christ. This contract is literally written in the Blood of God, as Christ on the Cross. And this contract is your Salvation, and its a FREE GIFT.
Isn't all this Amazing?
Its Amazing GRACE, is what it is... and the more you look at it, the more Amazing it becomes to KNOW.
