We are not doing works of the flesh,but works of the Spirit,preach the Gospel,help the poor and needy,and abstain from sin,and anything that represents goodness,and if we do not do these works then faith is void in our life.
But then they will say but if we have Christ in us then we will do the works.Then why do we see the hypocrisy in society concernng these people that they seek after money,and material things,and engage in sin,and say,they cannot abstain from sin,but do it on purpose,not trying to abstain from sin,and say sin does not affect their relationship with God.
That is what needs to be explained,for if you observe them,and their lifestyle,there is a lot that love the world,and the things of the world,that is not of the Father.
But they will say but we will sin,but it can be forgiven,but they hold unto sin,and do not give it up,but it is a daily habit of holding unto sin,and doing it,and think they are right with God,which if they hold unto sin the blood of Jesus cannot wash it away.
And if they have Christ in them,and they will do the works,then why do they not do the works,for the kingdom of God is within you by the Spirit,and this is 24 hours a day,7 days a week,lifestyle,not once in a while labor for the kingdom,but the majority of the time live for the world enjoying the ways of it.
How can it be explained the hypocrisy where they hold unto sin,doing it on purpose,and be right with God.
I have observed them,and they make it a daily habit to enjoy the world,and the things of the world,which is not of the Father.
How can that be explained.
Faith alone,not saved by works,when we confess Christ,for that is all we can do for we are in the flesh.
A person is justified by works,and not faith alone,after they receive the Spirit,and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,for you have the responsibility to keep making the choice to abstain from sin,and be Christlike,not love not the world,or the things in the world.

Explain the hypocrisy,and we might sin after we receive the Spirit,but that is because we want to sin,not because we cannot abstain from sin,and if they believe they cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with God,they have some explaining to do.
For they will be hypocritical,for that is the purpose of them saying sin does not affect their relationship with God,so they can enjoy sin,enjoying the world,and the things in the world,and believe they are right with God,but God says they are not right with Him,for they sin on purpose,and hold unto sin,and like sin.
There are many beliefs in this world,and many interpretations of the Bible to go along with those belief.
To the occultist the Bible is about the occult,spiritual evolution through nature,and Jesus is not Lord and Savior,but a good teacher in spiritual enlightenment,and an ascended master,and avatar.
To the prejudice,the white people will say Cain is the seed of the devil,and the mark on Cain is black skin,and the throne of David moved to England,and the royal family descendants of David,and the 10 lost tribes are European.
To the african american people they are the true Jews,from the tribe of Judah,and so forth.
To the Buddhist,a buddhist interpretation,to the Hinduist,a hinduist interpretation.
And so on,and the people that believe they cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with God,are no exception,but believe according to what they want,like the other groups of people that believe the Bible how they want to hear it.
