There's no contradiction to the spiritual, but I trust that you believe in the Lord and in the resurrection. Ask the Lord to give you His Spirit according to His promise and I guarantee that He will show you why if you just ask Him to and continue reading His word.
Osasers ...spend time telling people they do nothing...but then try to convince you, you have to do something...
"
I trust that you believe"
"Asked the Lord to give you His spirit"
He will show you why "
if you just ask Him to and continue reading His word."
Then tell you how to be saved?
"Believe in the Lord and his resurrection" but doesn't state nothing about repentance, His death how that first reconciles us to God...or How we are saved by His Life.
He does say Believe Jesus is Lord ...yet
The devil surely believes...but He does not intend to follow...mmmm
.........
Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
Of course Osaser...believe you do nothing
But the water Baptism they took on...I guess did not mean they were committed to following...but that Jesus does it without them...."Have you died with Christ"?
So if one does not follow who they say they believe...surely a bald head man tells one how to grow hair?
And what Spirit he has received?
When scripture says in EPHESIANS 1:13
How they were sealed, and How Jesus expresses the will of the Father and what the will is..I think all should heed to the scripture and not just study it from their Osas filter.
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
And what does Jesus say:
For this is the will of My Father, that everyone beholding the Son and believing in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day." JOHN 6:4
"
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." Gal 2:16
Pause...
What was the faith of Jesus...He (obeyed) the father.......... then we see> and His father did the work....
Jesus said ;
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Jesus is the model..not a belief system through Osas
The faith that saves, works by Love...
And is given as a gift in Christ
One may have what they call status, but if ya don't continue in it??? WHAT GOOD IS A NAME YOU DO NOT UPHOLD? DOES IT REAP THE BENIFITS?
Another words Christ may be in you.....but are you in Christ.
life eternal...may be in you but have you layed hold of eternal life
The benifits or reward is Life
If those who were circumcised did not keep the Law would they still reap the benifits?
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram:
I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
...........................
HE REWARDS THOSE WHO
DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM WITH LIFE.....
One way to see faith:
is confidence in Jesus for everything.
He is in control. And can not Stop being God..
So stop limiting Him to that box.
