Not By Works

Do you really think that the message that saves is about not repenting of sins but believing Jesus' blood cleans you of sins you don't even know you do?!

We have to confess our sins with our mouth and repent of them.

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Acts 16:30-31 “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."

Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

No works involved. All provided by God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Trying to twist what you said now just proves how deceptive you really are.....I read what you wrote and I used the same word you used.....very deceptive man...very deceptive

Confessing our sins is like a dog chasing it's tail. Never ending. Have you ever tried actually to do this? All your thinking is on sin and not righteousness then.

It's the nature of sin that God deals with in our life. He changes it. We then are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Doesn't mean we are perfect, but are being perfected as we "see" Him. We become like Him when we see Him as He is. Then we may kneel before Him in repentance. But, He lifts us up for His will is to declare His works, not ours. Good or bad. That's the wrong tree.

Romans 14:11

It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’”

that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Those who rely on their "works" to gain salvation and then to keep it are going to be in for a big surprise.

I didn't leave it out YTG. As we see Him, we will see our failures. We don't judge ourselves in one way. Holy Spirit shines His light on our hearts and shows us error. It's in the scriptures and Paul said it. Just can't say where right now.

But, sin comes from a fallen nature. That's what God deals with in the beginning. Not us sitting and confessin every individual sin we ever committed. Even our thoughts are fallen. Have you ever tried to bring up all your fallen thoughts?

This is not what we are any longer. We may sin in the day that we are living in, for we only have one day at a time anyway, and then we confess. But, it's not a requirement to confess all sins to be born again.

My new birth was the response, Lord I'll go Your way even if others don't. And I was instantly changed.

I know...Where does their assurance come from ? Where is their security in Christ ?
It is heart breaking , I am so happy Jesus warned us about false teachers etc , Jesus lives in us , we abide in Him , and nothing shall seperate us from the love of God...Amen...xox...

You don't even get to be a family member and friend if you don't obey!


Luke 11:28 He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

You got that right sister.....Jesus said the number with be plenteous <--many.......our new resident peddler of works, command keeping and law obeying by his own words will be one of..........Have we not done Lord

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

They could have converted!

God gives the gift to His children. You have to become a child of His first by repenting of your sins.

John 6:29 [blb] -

"Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.' "


1 John 5:9-12 [blb] -

"9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God that He has testified concerning His Son. 10 The one believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one not believing God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son.

"11 And this is the testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 The one having the Son has life; the one not having the Son of God does not have life."

You have to repent of your sins.
You have to actually confess them with your lips.
