The Security Of The Believer

I recently completed reading James. Why do you assert that works are needful for Salvation if you do indeed comprehend this book? Provide scriptural proof, please. Did Jesus not say, “It is finished?” Is He not your Redeemer?

10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love

No, it won’t because these are two distinct subjects. Again, I ask you:
So, in a nutshell, do you believe that Jesus totally saves us OR do you believe that we have to help Jesus save us? Is the work that Jesus did on the Cross complete OR do we have to help Him finish it?

I submit that breaking the law is just a sign someone is not saved at that time. Doing good works is what James is talking about. People who have the Holy Spirit do good works.

Matt 25:31-46 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Here are some key Verses to John 15:
10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

12 My commandment is this, that you love one another as I have loved you.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

I am not. I am stuck on a series of Verses that all say the same thing.

10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

12 My commandment is this, that you love one another as I have loved you.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

I am not saying anything. Jesus is talking in these Verses, not me.

What about the rest of scripture. does that mean nothing?

But you are taking Jesus out of context. and causing Jesus to contradict himself in other passages

It all has to align with Verse 10. So it says what I am saying.

No I am not. You are.

Oh I am?

So when jesus said I have eternal life. I have passed from death to life. I shall not be judged, i will be raised.

jesus lied?

The idea of the Parable of the Sheep and Goats Parable is what?
Is it to a person to get saved?
Or is it to the person who was initially saved by God’s grace and they need to continue in God’s plan of salvation in the Sanctification Process? I get no indication in the Parable that the main point was to go back and get saved or by believing in the finished work of the cross as the solution to solving the problem in the Parable of the Sheep and Goats. The idea of the Parable is simply to do this, or you are toast. That’s the point of the Parable.

vs 10 is one verse in scripture

What about what the rest of scripture says?

vs 10 has to do with the context of the passage, which is producing fruit. Not getting or staying saved

Also, when you reread Matthew 5, 6, and 7 without your OSAS glasses on, and you let the text speak for itself, also keep in mind that Paul says that if anyone does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud and he knows nothing (1 Timothy 6:3-4). James 4:6 says God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Somebody who justifies they can sin and still be saved on some level is not being humble before God.

Does doing good works save you?
