fruit and works.

[valiant]

yeah i know you can take it but what about those who cant. ?.

I know you are a friend but peter is also my friend,, and im stuck in the middle of you and him bombarding each other... i dont want to fall out with you or peter, and i really dont want to to get involved in anothers argument.

But works are essential as is asking for your daily bread... which is a daily choir,, just like following Jesus daily is a works. just like to believe in his words is also a works... the faith part is believing and working....

Now over here in england the majority of people are hard working individuals. there is only less than a couple of million out of work with a 65 million population... thats what you call the great british spirit to work hard and reap the reward,,, of being able to provide for there family...

Thjis is the same as Doing the christian daily choirs to work hard to protect yourself frome being tempted... and others...

This is just one duty of works..... to which i could quote at least fithty duties of christian work related duty if you want me to..

but where they are Christian they all RESULT from being initially justified.

you will be judged according to your deeds so you must do Good deeds daily in order to remain saved...

according to Romans 3-5 I will be judged simply on my faith in Christ.

cause if you do bad deeds daily i hardly call that saved...(do you)...

we all do bad deeds daily. None of us are fully right in all we do. He saves us by dealing slowly with them and with us.

.unless of cause you are bed ridden and unwell... or what ever... (and not a lazy farmer..)

and what then?

and you must also ask for your daily bread....ie not store up your bread from the day befor and think you dont have to ask tomorrow for some more... and thats biblical its in the story of the falling manner when they walked around the desert for 40 years....

don't you have store cupboards?

Here is the rub. If you do not do these things you will not enter the Kingdom
of heaven. This is not me speaking it is Jesus.

There is only one thing we do to enter the Kingdom......Acts16:31


There are many things we do or don't do to inherit the Kingdom.

12All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything

The fruits of the Spirit.

I agree with you, as quoted on Galatians 5.22. After all, if each tree give fruit conform its specie and we are branches of the true vine (John 15.1), our fruit is the confirmation of all that Jesus said and did (John 16.12-15).

Liberating!

Indeed. And liberating in lot of senses. Our bondage is gone, and we can freely work for Christ. An easy yoke.

Amen! That means so be it I think.

where are you told to do righteousness to earn salvation ? I can show you where it says doing righteousness will not earn salvation?

a fruit and works equal one who will do the work of God each day..without even being asked to...like putting your shoes on of a morning... naturally and wilffuly.. and joyfully.. and in good spirit..

the 'fruits' that I bore, when I served the world, eventually brought me nothing but
some kind of sorrow -

the 'fruits' that I now bear through my Love and appreciation for my Lord and Saviour's
un-belieable Holy Sacrifice, brings me nothing but Joy...
