If a person believes they will obey. If they don't obey, it is because they don't really believe.
1 Cor. 3:
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward
according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.
But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ.
These are not words spoken by the Pope or some religious man, this is the Word of God, and it says I play a part in my own salvation.
Phil. 2:
12 Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of
his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine
as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the
word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,
that I have not run in vain,
neither laboured in vain.
2 Cor. 5:
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent,
we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether
it be good or bad.
Rom. 11:
20 Well; because of
unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith.
Be not highminded,
but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches,
take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness,
if thou continue in
his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Unbelief = Greek "apistia" means "Faithlessness" unfaithfulness (disobedience) :- disbelief. From the word "apisteo" to be unbelieving, disbelieve, or by implication to disobey:- to believe not.
"Because of unbelief (Disobedience) they were cut off.
Same for those "Christians" in Matt. 7 that the Christ warns us about.
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
Iniquity Greek - "anomia" means illegality, violation of law or wickedness:- transgress the law, unrighteousness. from the word "anomos" means lawless, not subject to (jewish) law (by implication a gentile), or wicked:- without law, lawless, transgressor, unlawful, wicked.
GG 101 is not embellishing at all, she is doing what the Christ tells ALL His people to do. "Live by EVERY WORD of God".
But if a person doesn't "believe" the Word of God which became Flesh, then they won't obey the Word of God which became Flesh, just like the Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time.
