Then you have no leg to stand upon when James makes the statement: By works a man is justified, not by faith only.

Suffer loss of what?

The Lord has rewards that he wants to give us. We can suffer loss of those rewards through bad labor. Receive vs suffer loss. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall...

We give an account for our labor, our works. We will be rewarded accordingly, or suffer the loss of rewards.

I know I was saved early in my life. I was surrounded by bible believers. I talked it. I lived it. I loved the Lord. I remember the evening I gave my life to Jesus. It was a sermon from Pastor Tom Malone on hell. Going into high school, my parents divorced which forced my mother into the...

Some, very little. But one day, they will face the JSOC to give an account for rewards or lack of rewards. Salvation is not at stake. Praise the Lord for his righteousness through the faith of Jesus Christ. Though, my faith wavers, his faith never wavers. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified...

I married a Catholic girl (unequally yoked) who knew very little about the bible. She challenged me with questions. I started back to church and brought her, while I went to Mass with her on Saturday night. Her questions brought back a desire for me to seek the Lord once again. I've never...

An individual's faith can be overthrown, as the passage shows, by false teaching... It happens all the time. New believers falling prey to false teachers. Personally, I went through about 7 years of my life where there was very little, if no evidence coming from my life that I was a believer...

Ah, that great word nevertheless...some believers had their faith overthrown by false teachers. Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure. They were sealed with the Holy Spirit, but their individual faith was overthrown. Thanks be to God for the faith of Chrsit! 2 Timothy 2 6 But...

I heard it once said, "I is always in the middle of sIn." Very, very true.
