I'M NOT JUDGING HERE, ONLY MY OPINION ACCORDING TO GOD'S
WORD TAUGHT BY PAUL!
YOU!
I'm not counting on my work to save me. I already know that I'm saved
by grace. I have faith in Him. On account of faith, I've been given
grace...and together, through faith and grace I have been saved.
IT'S THE WORKS (BLOOD SHED AT THE CROSS AND BRUISES) AND FAITH
(TRUSTING GOD THAT GOD WILL BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE AFTER 3
DAYS AND RESTORE HIM AND RULE ON GOD'S RIGHT SIDE) OF CHRIST
BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SAVES MAN!
GOD ONLY WANTS FAITH (TRUSTING) IN CHRIST'S WORKS AND FAITH!
YOU!
Because Christ has given me that, I strive to seek my significance in
Him and the work that He has intended for me to do in this world.
WHAT IS THAT? ARE YOU TRUSTING (FAITH) IN GOD'S WORD? ARE
YOU LEANING TO HIM FOR STRENGTH WHEN PROBLEMS AND
TRIBULATIONS COMES? ARE YOU TITHING TO THE ONE WHO HAS
TAUGHT YOU THE WORD OF GOD? OFFERINGS? AND 10% OF YOUR
TIME TO HELP WITH WHAT'S NEEDS TO BE DONE AT YOUR CHURCH?
YOU!
I do what I do out of my love for Christ. I.e.: I refuse to drink alcohol on
account of loving Christ. I keep out of the club because I love Christ.
YOU STARTED GOOD BUT YOU REFUSING TO DRINK ALCOHOL IS ONLY
AN OUTWARDLY ACT AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU LOVING
CHRIST! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN DRINKING ALCOHOL, LIKE
ANYTHING, IF ABUSED, LEADS TO MAN DOING WRONG! EAT TOO
MUCH, LEADS TO HEART ATTACK!
ALCOHOL IS NOT THE PROBLEM, IT'S MAN WHO HAS THE PROBLEM
AND BLAMES ALCOHOL!
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GOING TO CLUBS, BARS, STRIPP
CLUBS, GAMBLING HALLS, BINGO HALLS.............CHRIST IS THERE
BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN AT THE BAR!
GOD IS EVERY WERE!
AND YOU NOT DRINKING ALCOHOL AND NOT GOING TO CLUBS PLEASE
NOT GOD BUT ONLY YOURSELF AND YOUR FELLOW GANG (CHURCH)
MEMBERS AND OF COURSE YOUR EGO!
IT MEANS NOTHING TO GOD! GOD WANTS TRUST (FAITH), NOT
PERFECTION!
IMITATING CHRIST LIKE BEHAVIOR ONLY PLEASES YOUR GANG
(CHURCH) MEMBERS NOT GOD! SORRY
YOU!
I share His word because I love Him. That's the "works" that I'm talking
about when I say that i live by grace and works. I've been given grace
and because of it, i've been compelled to do His good work. Grace is
what I've been given, works is what I do to show my greatfulness for it.
You see?
WRONG! GOD WANTS FAITH AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO PLEASE
GOD! NOT BY ACTING OR PRETENDING TO LIVE A PERFECT LIFE! NO!
GOD WANTS FAITHERS NOT PRETENDERS! GOD KNOWS MAN'S HEART!
IT'S GOD WHO WORKS HIS GOOD WORKS THROUGH MAN WHEN CHRIST
IS FORMED IN MAN'S HEART!
NOW HOW IS CHRIST FORMED IN MAN'S HEART? NOT BY WORKS BUT
BY FAITH AND FAITH ALONE! SORRY
NOW HOW IS FAITH FORMED IN MAN'S HEART? BY HEARING THE WORD
OF GOD NOT BY ANY FILTHY WORKS OF MAN! (ONLY THE WORKS OF
CHRIST)!
NOW THE MAN YOU HEAR GOD'S WORD FROM HAS TO BE CHOSEN BY
GOD NOT SELF APPOINTED PERVERTS OR PERVERTS WHO ARE VOTED IN
BY MAN MADE COMMITTEES! YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU HEAR IT,
GOD WILL LET YOU HEAR IT!
FAITH IS TRUSTING GOD THROUGH PROBLEMS AND TRIBULATIONS
MAN GOES THROUGH! ANY TRIBULATION! IT'S FAITHING IN GOD'S
PROMISES!
ROMANS 3 (READ THE TEACHINGS OF PAUL WHO OWNS 2/3 OF THE
NEW TESTAMENT OF CHRIST)!
Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be
stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
THE LAW SPEAKETH TO THEM WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW AND TEACH
THE LAW! AND THERE GUILTY BEFORE GOD BECAUSE OF IT!
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh
be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
BY THE DEEDS OR WORKS OF THE LAW NO MAN (FLESH) IS JUSTIFIED IN
THE SIGHT OF GOD!
Rom 3:21 ¶ But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
WHAT? THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WITHOUT THE LAW IS
MANIFESTED AND WITNESSED BY THE LAW AND PROPHETS ( NOT THERE
SELF APPOINTED PERVERTS WHO CALLS THEMSELVES PROPHETS)!
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of
Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no
difference:
WHAT? RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD BY FAITH OF WHO? JESUS CHRIST
UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM (THAT YOU AND ME) THAT HAVE
FAITH NOT BELIEVE!
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;
WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD!
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY GOD'S GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION
THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS BY SHEDDING HIS BLOOD AND FAITHING IN
THE PROMISE OF GOD THAT GOD WILL RESTORE HIM AND SIT HIM ON
HIS RIGHT SIDE TO RULE WITH HIM AND OF COURSE SAVE JACKASS
MAN (ONLY THE FAITHFUL ONES)! SORRY
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation
through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
CHRIST PAID IT ALL! GOD WANTS FAITHERS NOT FILTHY WORKS OF
MAN! SORRY
Rom 3:26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
THOSE WHO FAITH IN THE WORKS AND FAITH OF CHRIST ARE
RIGHTEOUSIFIED AND JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD!
Rom 3:27 ¶ Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?
of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
MAN CAN'T BOAST OF THERE WORKS AND CALL IT FAITH! IT'S CALL
CHARITY BUT YOU DON'T GET ANY FAITH POINTS! SORRY
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law.
MAN IS JUSTIFED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OR WORKS OF THE
LAW!
Rom 3:29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of
the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
JEWS AND GENTILES (THAT ANYONE NOT A JEW)! ARE INCLUDED IN
GOD'S PROMISES THROUGH CHRIST!
Rom 3:30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the
circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
FAITH JUSTIFIES THE CIRCUMCISION AND UNCIRCUMCISION!
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God
forbid: yea, we establish the law.
THE LAW IS GOD IS MAN USE THE LAW LAWFULLY! BUT TOO MAN
PERVERTS USE THE LAW TO CONDEMN AND CONTROL THERE FELLOW
MAN!
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR ON THE RIGHT TRACK! GOOD LUCK IN YOUR
STUDIES!
Holla!
