Forest Gump-stupid is as stupid does.
Jesus Christ-righteous is as righteous does.
Believing on the Lord,and inputed as righteousness,is a work,for whether it an act of the mind,or the body,it is a work,and the Bible says the action of righteousness is what defines them as a child of God,for the outward action is what establishes the inward action of believing,and having faith,for I can say I love my spouse,but then not show it outwardly by treating her bad,so then how do I love her.They can say they love Christ,but if they do not show it outwardly,how do they love Christ.
Actions speak louder than words,which the Bible says be not hearers of the word only,but be doers of the word.
Jesus said if you lust after a woman in your mind,it is the same as if you fornicated with her,so the action of the mind,is the same as the action of the body,and is a work of sin either way,and so whether we confess Christ,believe on Him,with the mind,or do an outward manifestation of righteousness,it is a work all the same.
Those that name the name of Christ have to depart from iniquity,and awake to righteousness,and sin not,and whoever does not do righteousness is not of God.
Some people try to make out when they are saved,the outward manifestation of sin does not affect their relationship with God,but God said it does affect their relationship with God.
Those that name the name of Christ have to depart from iniquity,and awake to righteousness,and sin not,and whoever does not do righteousness is not of God.
Faith alone,not saved by works,when we confess Christ,for we are in the flesh and that is all we can do.
Faith without works is dead,and a person is justified by works,and not faith alone,after we receive the Spirit,and the outward manifestation of the works establishes that we indeed love the Lord,and have faith.
But I quote the famous Lord Jesus Christ,doth thou not understandest.
