Not By Works

[Hevosmies]

Favor is grace. And belief is faith.

Unmerited favor*

Perseverance

The delay is where the "end " part comes in.

Are you saved?

 

[JadenS]

Are you saved?

I think you mean "Perseverance". I have not yet persevered to the end.

 

[Lightskin]

I think you mean "Perseverance". I have not yet persevered to the end.

I said saved and that’s exactly what I meant.
Are you, JadenS, saved by grace by having faith in Jesus Christ?

If a person perseveres to the end, they are saved.

Matthew 24:13
But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.

Matthew 24:13

You deem yourself to be weak enough to lose faith in Jesus Christ? It’s a good thing God’s gifts are irrevocable and that Jesus will lose none of whom the Father gives Him.

You have not recieved the gifts which come from persevering to the end.

Wonderful, @JadenS!

What are your thoughts about the following, do you agree or disagree?


Our good works to earn or maintain our salvation are filthy rags.

However, after receiving Salvation through Yeshua/Jesus Christ, we are created unto good works IN Christ Jesus...... which means we will desire to do good works BUT, NOT for salvation or maintaining salvation...the good works we do now are for the Kingdom of God...

preach the gospel, baptizing in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, telling others about God’s grace, forgiveness; healing the sick, defending the oppressed, feeding the hungry....

We’ll be judged for theses works before the Judgment Seat of Christ- the sheep on the right and the goats on the left.

There are rewards in Heaven for these good works BUT, these works are NOT earning or maintaining salvation.

I believe all Bible scriptures.

Satan used Bible scriptures when he tried to tempt Yeshua/Jesus......

Just because someone quotes Bible scriptures, doesn't make what they are saying true. It's important to rely on the Holy Spirit to teach you the scriptures, don't believe every pastor, priest, mentor, Bible teacher - check it out for yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit for Truth......

1 John 2:27 King James Version (KJV)
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

When we search for God with all our heart, we will find Him and find Truth.

I wish you all the best on your journey. God bless and keep you.

We have received the Gift that makes sure we will persevere to the end.

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Teaching is what I do, hence the bible studies that I publish, and the house I have established in Medellin, as a place to teach the local population. Not all of us are called to teach, but we are all called to do good works.

Believers are created in Christ Jesus unto good works but, our good works are for the Kingdom of God, NOT for salvation.

Salvation is a gift. We're NOT to boast as if our works saved us because they did NOT.

Ephesians 2:8-10 King James Version (KJV)
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 God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Inheriting the kingdom of God IS salvation.

Get a hold of this one: GIFTS, that come from persevering.

Anyone ever done any sports? The GIFT of the gold medal after you won the olympics.

this is true, all false christian groups can use scripture as well. JWs do it all time

but dear friend and friends can someone explain to me why st.paul says some are teachers, some prophets when st.john says we dont need any man to teach us? its ironic because isnt that what st.john is doing in his letter, teaching people? lolz.

can someone tell this to me?

Are you lacking anything?

"He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32

"He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification." Romans 4:25

"1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on the things above, not the things on the earth. 3 For you have died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ your life may be revealed, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4

"Cease listening to instruction, my son,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge."
- Prov 19:27

I speak as an elder, and a teacher of God's Word.

If you were my son, you wouldn't be allowed to disrespect others as you do. And that's a fact.

Thank God I am not your son....it would suck to be raised in a false religion and make no mistake....I disrespect your false gospel that has no foundation in scripture.....

 

[Lafftur]

Such preaching such fluffy messages that do nothing to "turn people from their sins" will find themselves wanting in that Day.
For their "ear-tickling" sermons brought only darkness instead to Light and salvation.

"My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." - James 3:1

Can't God use His goodness to lead us to repentance? Salvation as a Gift is The Goodness of God for all who will believe.

Romans 2:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

limmuwd, it's wonderful news that God has saved us completely. Doing good works for the Kingdom of God is exciting and wonderful, too.

There's just no way God wants us saved and then depend on good works to keep us saved.

 

[dcontroversal]

Who made YOU an elder and a teacher that has ANY authority at all?

Exactlty...I guess if he believes that in his mind he thinks he has authority.....NONE....and elder of misinformation and false religious blather is about it at the end of the day!

 

[dcontroversal]

If a person perseveres to the end, they are saved.

Matthew 24:13
But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.

False....that is not about the salvation of the soul..geesh, do you guys give a crap about context?

 

[JadenS]

We have received the Gift that makes sure we will persevere to the end.

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Not everyone who says "Lord Lord" will persevere to the end.

Inheriting the kingdom of God IS salvation.

False alert....the above is incorrrect and not biblical
