Not By Works

Yes, and because of His work we are secure in Him.

All (believers) are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace, through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:24

Is there any place in the Bible where Jesus claims he will perform our works for us?

If you are preaching that salvation is gained, maintained, acquired, earned by any human effort (works) which it seems you are, I can

unequivocally state that God definitely does not agree with you, so you are far more alone than you realize.

Romans 4:5

My tone has to do with the fact that you just joined yesterday and your focus is disobedience rather than God’s saving grace, and your belief that most people don’t understand correctly.

Not sure what you mean?

He already did on the cross.

It actually is not, I do not answer vague questions.

As the questioner it is incumbent upon you to be clear in your query...in my view.

That's description is only true your heads, there's no such thing as believing in God's word and the promises in His word for salvation or to receive His Spirit.

If you truly believe that’s what I’m pushing then don’t bother reading my posts.

Where did I state this?

How does the opposite of pisteou not mean unbelief but disobedience in the following verses?

Mark 9:23-24
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Whilst you are at it can you define disobedience is as well please.

@UnderGrace, I’m getting a migraine.

Yes the question surely had a hidden agenda, especially when someone is not sure of their spiritual status.

Believing in Jesus is what saves a person. That, faith, and His grace.

!

Me too..

I know these false teachers, they have a private interpretation, and it is a works based salvation and they are multiplying daily and exponentially.

Impossible to reason with them.

Mark 9:23 ,. "If you can personally surrender your life to Me, all things are possible to him who continue in such surrendered life."

Mark 9:24 , " Lord, I surrender myself to thee ; keep me from my own way!"

Not true kitty cat!

In one sense, mankind was "saved" by the obedience and sacrifice of the Man Jesus.

To begin the Journey our first step is to "believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." - Heb 11:6

We must be careful that our "faith" in not in "faith" itself, but in the Father, and in the Son.

And properly translated, Hab 2:4 reads "the righteous shall live by his faithfulness." This "faithfulness" being a complete surrender to God. The opposite being one who is "proud." (I've spent much time teaching on this single verse alone!)

As Jesus said, of those who will "come after" Him (meaning being conformed into His image, becoming One with Him), there must be a denial of self, a picking up of our own cross daily and following Him the Way of the Cross, which signifies death and rebirth.

To obtain "Eternal Salvation", and indeed become "salvation" for the nations in Eternity, we must be "refined in the fire" and proven "worthy", just as the Man Jesus had to be proven and "perfected" to be "made Lord and Christ" and "become the author of Eternal salvation to those who obey Him."

When I preach this in the churches I'm involved with, I often get blank stares, and I know this Truth is far beyond what many have known. But it IS Bible. And honestly, if God has desired, once one sees, by the Spirit, the Truth of God's Word, you begin to see it all throughout the Scripture, and it becomes impossible to unsee.

The understanding of "salvation" is greatly off today. Unless one can cast aside the traditions of man and the Religious filters that have been erected that we often view the Scripture through, we will remain blind and deaf, which is the purpose of the spiritual enemies of God. And God allows even the delusion, as He is testing those who will sit with the Lamb on His Throne to judge and rule over the saved of the nations. Amen.

Do we have "ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches" today?

May we be among that remnant who have fellowship with the Father.

"who has stood in the council of Yahweh
to see and hear His word?
Who has paid attention to His word and obeyed? "
- Jer 23:18

Peace.

John 3:16 disagrees with you. FOR WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE (be saved)

Ephesians 2:8 disagrees with you also.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
