He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.



HAS-verb
Third person singular present tense of HAVE


Has is defined as to possess or own something.

Believe in JESUS<---YOU currently HAVE everlasting life.......NO WORKS HERE, but rather BELIEF!

GM DC! :)
I would rather have "believe on" be defined in more depth. I guess because...I have truly had no struggle since I met Him other than that "believe on" and my own hypocrisies regarding it.

Amen! Notice that this BELIEF is not in ourselves, getting baptized, church attendance, or any other type of good work. Notice also that this BELIEF is not in Jesus Christ "plus something else," otherwise the BELIEF (trust, reliance) would not be "ON THE SON".

To believe in something daily is a works no matter how much one tries to avoid the obvious...


To Do the works of the lord daily is living accordingly to the belief that God inspires us to to have.

Why should i bee seen a villian for this That works of faith are a direct result of your soul continuing to receive salvation...

Cute kid picture...and I wasn't asleep. We broke dow, camp and drove home this morning. Most folks are probably in church. Or getting ready at 8:41 am

Ps. I advocate everyone have a peaceful, meek and quiet spirit without the picture incentive, but did like the picture.

Belief (faith,trust) is not a work JIMBO, just like thinking is not a work. Doing the work of the Lord does not make you a villain. But belief and work do not equal salvation.
That is your stance, and that is why you may be perceived a certain way, because what you say about salvation (something we as believers all have and rely on for our eternal survival) is incorrect.

For the 5 hudreth time works and faith are a fruit of belief.... without belief the stallion may as well be dead..

And without belief faith and works do not come..

Its is both works and faith that is a daily fruit of an ongoing daily process of the soul continuing to recieve salvation..

Ie once saved and once saved again..
