James 2:18......Yea, a man may say, Thou had FAITH, and I have WORKS: shew me thy FAITH without thy WORKS, and i will shew thee my FAITH by my WORKS.
James 2:20......But wilt thou know, O vain men, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKs IS DEAD.
James 2:26......For as the body WITHOUT the spirit is dead. So FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead also.

Are we to believe that as soon as we accept Jesus in our lives that our salvation is secure? Again people are quick to run to the Apostle Paul’s writing, grabbing a couple of verse that preachers have grossly mistaught. And they have built a false teaching regarding “once saved always saved”. Just as you freely accepted Jesus in your life you can also freely choose to stop serving him. Jesus said with his own mouth; (Matt. 24:13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. That is until the end of your life, or until the Second Coming of the Lord. People are being taught that once you are quote “saved” that you can never fall to the spiritually lost condition. This is not true and totally unbiblical; this teaching is a damnable heresy brought in by man. To teach someone that all they have to do is believe on Christ and you are saved is a doctrine of the devil. Many who teach eternal security teach that once a man is saved no matter how wicked he becomes he is still saved. Thus the teaching “once saved always saved”. Then you asked them what are you saved from? Or how did you obtain your salvation? And most cannot answer these questions. Some even say that sense I have been “saved” I am living a sinless life.
(1John:1:10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. According to bible you can’t be living a sinless life, because if you make such a statement, you just lied

Paul said in (1Cor. 15:1-2) (v.1) MOREOVER, brethren, I declare unto the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; (v.2) By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. Paul is telling you right here that you are saved by the gospel that he preached unto you if you keep it in memory. So what happens if you don’t keep it in memory? Then you have believed in vain you have believed for nothing that’s what vain means
God does not accuse the believer day and night in so much that his grace according to His work of faith as a thee day labor of lovein so much that His grace is not sufficient to save us till the end. His kingdom is not divided. The believers that are given the faith to believe through His words in order to believe.... once saved always saved .

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

The father of lies teaches the opposite as the anti and apposes mixing faith (the unseen eternal) in what we hear or see..

The devil or father of lies is the one that would have men walk after the three avenues of this world turning things upside down as the wrong manner of spirit .

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 1Jo 2:17

He opposes the faith principle(OSAS)

He the one who would turn things upside down where men would seek after the temporal as the things seen . OSAS speaks of the one who did endure the wage our sin . If he has begun the good work of salvation by enduring the cup of wrath intended for us we have His confidence he will not leave us as orphan but will finish that which he has begun in us.


Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:


Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Who do we place our confidence in is the question I would ask? Things seen the temporal or the things of God not seen, the eternal ?
