Not By Works

Christians, be aware of what the ...new age religion types...are doing by making you feel guilty for doing God's work.
We are to witness for Christ...don't ever forget that. .... clearly illustrated here;.

(was timed out of #151,840)..............;

See Matt 16;27..... For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
et. al.

Does that mean we can earn our way to Heaven........absolutely not.

It does not get any plainer..........Our righteous works have ZERO to do with Salvation!

Salvation by fait alone not by work

It doesn't mean as long as you have faith keep killing and rob the bank you save

Faith have a fruit, and the fruit of faith is the same of the fruit of Holy Spirit. The fruit of Holy Spirit is loving work, not killing.

1 John 4:20

“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”

How can a man have a faith not have love?

How can a man have a faith not have love?

Faith “working” through love is what the Bible says. Works are nothing more than obedience to God’s commandments. That’s what it means when our faith works through love.

You do realize that the only time the Bible uses faith and alone in the same sentence it says “we are not saved by faith alone”. Hope this helps.

Faith “working” through love is what the Bible says. Works are nothing more than obedience to God’s commandments. That’s what it means when our faith works through love.

I am not quite understand what you mean.

Do you believe if we have faith mean we have love?

Or it doesn't matter if you hate God, hate other as long as you believe that Jesus is God you save?

In other word, do you believe you may have faith but don't have love?

Tosh absolutely tosh.

Who on earth who has true faith will keep on killing and rob a bank?

Sin is sin and even though those who have genuine faith will sin, yet not want to.
You like others mention the big sins of commission yet neglect the small sins like lies and gossip.

Also reject the sins of omission. Yet it's still a sin.

Look up where Jesus rejected those who commits sins of omission.

Matthew 25:41-45
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

We are saved by grace through faith not works

not by works of righteousness which we have done but by his mercy

It seem, people in Matt 25 rejected because they don't have love.
Not help the hungry, poor indicate font have love.

In my country people love to help the rich, and proud to be a friend of rich.

It seem, real love is when we love and help the poor.

In Matt 25 Jesus also bless and respect people that help and love the poor, stranger etc.

Love stranger or not racism . According to Matt 25 racism also sin that make us to hell, a lot of time we not aware that racism is serious sin .

It seem there is serious sin that is no love and non serious sin.

Whe we have in Jesus, to the point to invite Jesus come to our heart, I believe it will produce the fruit of love
It may not perfect yet, the more we let Jesus led us the more love we produce.

I believe In Matt 25 Jesus reject people on the left, because they not produce love at all.

People with real faith may not perfect, but if we read Matt 25, real faith produce love.

For some people, it may accept the Lord, and die in the next second. I believe they save, they don't have a time to show love to other, but they have love, because as soon as Jesus in people heart, it produce love.

For some people love may don't mean feed the hungry, love is in the heart, it may undetected by human. But God know.

Matt 25 seem to say faith will produce love, not because salvation by helping the poor, but savation produce love

The formula not

Salvation > by faith and workbut

Faith > salvation + love

And if we have time love will produce helping the poor as said in Matt 25

Faith working through love (as Paul put it) means you have faith in God, and your obedience to God’s commandments shows that you love God. Faith and obedience are both necessary for salvation. So to answer your question, you need love.

Matthew 25, the sheep and the goat judgement is about the Tribulation period, how gentiles, if they want to be saved then, must bless Israel once again to be included in the salvation at the end.

So you believe salvation by love without accepting or have faith in Jesus?

It is not an easy proble here.

If you love God to the point invite Him into your heart, than I believe you save.

Yes I agree you can't have a faith in God but hate God.

And if you love God you will love other.

To me, more likely, faith produce salvation and love not

Love and faith produce salvation.

There is a verse say salvation by grace through faith, not by work.

But it doesn't mean no matter what you do, for ex hate God and hate other, as long as you believe Jesus you save.

Matt 25 tell that people that not help the poor not go to heaven or not save.

Is that mean salvation by helping the poor?

I dont think so.

Salvation by faith, but faith produce love.

More likely Matt 25 talking about correlation between salvation and work

The more you have faith, the more love you bear, because Jesus in you is a master of love.

If your working in order to gain or keep your salvation?

It is working for salvation. No matter how someone wants to twist it.

We work out of appreciation of being saved. Not in hopes we will be saved.

Faith alone is not enough, you must also be obedient to God. The entire New Testament talks about the consequences for an immoral life. You need faith and obedience to be saved.

The only time in the whole New Testament where “faith” and “alone” are used in the same sentence says “You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.” James 2:24
