Of course it was a result of his faith. That's how we get faith, by hearing God speak to us. He was justified when he obeyed the word of faith that God spoke to him. Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”...

Of course James didn't contradict Ehesians 2 or Titus 3 or Romans 4. Scripture does not contradict scripture. In Romans 4, Paul is referring to the works of the law, in which by keeping the works of the law, some thought they could "earn" their salvation. 27 Where is boasting then? It is...

Actually I agreed with you. I would say they did do it for Him, in obedience to His Life within them, as He moved upon them with His love and compassion. They love Him, and demonstrate their love for Him by loving people.

I'm just showing what the scriptures say. I only see the two different times. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” Galatians 3:8 This is from Genesis 12:1-3...

Obedience is the word I used. It is called the obedience of faith. It is the principle as to how faith is activated; made alive. It's actually what "by faith" means. 7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his...

The answer, to those who are honest is found in the very words of Jesus that you plainly ignore. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me...

This scripture shows us perfectly how Abraham was justified by the obedience of faith and also typified the example of being saved by obeying the Gospel. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all...

The Bible teaches us the principle of faith and how faith becomes alive or activated so that it justifies. Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? James 2:21 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith...

34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you...

Amen. Believe = Obey. Which is why Jesus told us who would come forth at the resurrection of life. those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come...
