@GRACE_ambassador, what church are you attending?
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Charity, love in action is greater than faith.
And faith works by love.
No love then no faith.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
By grace we are saved through faith, but without love there is no faith then there is no love.
1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Paul said he could have all faith so that he could remove mountains, but if he did not have charity then he is nothing.
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
If any person preaches that godliness is gain withdraw yourselves from them having food and clothing be content.
For the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and needy, and is not charity, and love is the fulfilling of the law.
Which if people go by their wants above their needs they have erred from the faith.
Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James said if a person does not have charity then their faith is dead.
We are justified by works and not faith alone, and if we neglect works of love then our faith is dead.
1Jn 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
John said if a person does not have charity then the love of God does not dwell in them.
So do not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed, works, and in truth.
No love then no faith then no grace.
There are millions of people that go by the prosperity Gospel believing they are blessed that way but He cares about people being fed and clothed and not giving the saints their wants.
We are saved by faith, and not by works when we confess Jesus for that is all we can do.
But when receive the Spirit then we have to have works of love for faith to apply in our life for we must have the right perspective of God, and His kingdom that is love.
So Paul and James say the same thing all the while people argue over them.
1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.
Love does not think an evil thought and does not rejoice in doing wrong, but rejoices in the truth to be led of the Spirit to be Christlike.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
When a person engages in sin that is not love then no faith.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Some people have a form of godliness but they deny the Spirit leading them for they want to enjoy sin, and hold on to sin, but they believe they are right with God but they are ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
If we hold on to a sin then the blood of Christ cannot wash it away for God will not take away a sin we hold on to.
There are many hypocrites, and many who go by the prosperity Gospel, but that is not love.
No love then no faith then no grace.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Charity, love in action is greater than faith.
And faith works by love.
No love then no faith.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
By grace we are saved through faith, but without love there is no faith then there is no love.
1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Paul said he could have all faith so that he could remove mountains, but if he did not have charity then he is nothing.
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
If any person preaches that godliness is gain withdraw yourselves from them having food and clothing be content.
For the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and needy, and is not charity, and love is the fulfilling of the law.
Which if people go by their wants above their needs they have erred from the faith.
Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James said if a person does not have charity then their faith is dead.
We are justified by works and not faith alone, and if we neglect works of love then our faith is dead.
1Jn 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
John said if a person does not have charity then the love of God does not dwell in them.
So do not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed, works, and in truth.
No love then no faith then no grace.
There are millions of people that go by the prosperity Gospel believing they are blessed that way but He cares about people being fed and clothed and not giving the saints their wants.
We are saved by faith, and not by works when we confess Jesus for that is all we can do.
But when receive the Spirit then we have to have works of love for faith to apply in our life for we must have the right perspective of God, and His kingdom that is love.

2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
When a person engages in sin that is not love then no faith.

Precious friend(s), perchance you are 'fearfully' considering:
Bible Scenes From The Final Judgment
where there will be:
To receive God's Eternal Life and be "found Written [ In Book 3 ], The Lamb's Book Of Life,"
and:
Eternally avoid God's Final Judgment, please prayerfully and carefully review:
God's Simple Will!
Amen.

What about Jesus' commands in the Sermon on the Mount for us not to be angry (the same as murder), lust (the same as adultery), and worry (the same as trying to second-guess God's will), for example? When we believe and begin following Jesus, God the Father justifies us (declares us "not guilty") for all our sins only because of Jesus' death, but we remain sinners who need God's daily cleansing and power to make spiritual progress through Jesus' resurrection. That's where our prayers of confession and calling on God to make us a blessing to others come in.

I liked your quote "If we hold on to a sin then the blood of Christ cannot wash it away for God will not take away a sin we hold on to." It brings me into rememberance of Romans 6:11 KJV — Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. God Bless and thank you for bringing back the rememberance of this verse and chapter.
