Many people that claim Christ are relaxed in love,but view themselves as right before God by their belief that they can never stumble regardless of what they think,and do.
Charity,love in action,is greater than faith,and hope.
Faith works through love,and everything stems from love,not faith.
Lack love,lack faith.
Paul said he could have all faith so that he could remove mountains,but if he did not have charity then he is nothing.
Paul said without charity they have erred from the faith,and James said their faith is dead,and John said the love of God does not dwell in them.
Paul says the same thing as James,but some people miss the connection misinterpreting Paul when he is speaking according to the flesh,and putting it the position of spiritual,but when Paul is speaking in the spiritual he is saying the same thing as James,faith without works is dead,for he said without charity,which is works of love,then he is nothing.
Paul speaks from a fleshy perspective when he says not saved by works,and faith alone,and by a spiritual perspective after someone receives the Spirit,have works of love or you are nothing,and you have erred from the faith.
That is why James said faith without works is dead,and a person is justified by works,and not faith alone,because to not have works of love means lack of allowing the Spirit to lead you,which is a lack of love,which is a lack of faith.
It is strange how Paul and James say the same thing but some cannot see it for all they are focused on is not saved by works,and faith alone,and do not realize that Paul is speaking from a fleshy position,not a spiritual position by the Spirit.
And the first Church,and fifth Church,in Revelation,shows that people that started out right can stumble,in which Jesus told them to repent for their works are not right before God,which is what James pointed out because it is possible for them to lack and not be right with God,for it is a lack of love,and love is greater than faith.
Faith means nothing without love.
But there are many people that do not have proper love,but think they are alright with God saying faith alone,and not saved by works,as if they do not have to try so hard at being Christlike to be right with God,but Jesus said whatever is in your heart defines who you are,so if they sin,or hold unto sin,then that is what is in their heart,so they are not clean until they get rid of it,and not want it.
Paul said love does not think an evil thought,and does not sin by the Spirit.
Awake to righteousness,and sin not,but some people do not have the knowledge of God,and Paul speaks that to their shame.
God is not mocked,whatever a person sows,that shall he reap,and God said to the saints to not be deceived by that.
The Lord knows them that are His having this seal,that everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Paul said love is not selfish,and is not arrogant,and does not act improper.
Love will only go by their needs,not their wants,and help the poor and needy with their needs.
Love works no ill towards their neighbor,therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
I do not know how people can have the belief they cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with God,and believe the prosperity Gospel,and then say they were chosen in the beginning,and can never fall.
For how can the chosen believe that when by the Spirit we can abstain from sin,and love does not think an evil thought,and does not sin,and God said do not be deceived,whatever you sow,that shall you reap.
The Bible plainly states we cannot sin if we are led of the Spirit,and anybody that does sin is not led of the Spirit.
But that is the flesh that wants to interpret the Bible in a relaxed viewpoint that comes from the flesh instead of the Spirit.
If they say they were chosen and can never be in a position that is not right with God,that is not the truth,for every time we sin we are in a position of not being right with God,for we are not led of the Spirit at that time,and we lack love,until we repent of it,and do not want the sin,and mean it.
They will not admit that there can be a time after confessing Christ that they put themselves back to a wrong position with God by their sin,for that would scare them,for then how can they justify that can never fall.
When I think of people that believe they cannot abstain from sin,and sin does not affect their relationship with God,and the prosperity Gospel,I think of people that want to hold unto sin,and think they are right with God.
