  • So if you put your faith on a slide for a microscope, and stare at it for hours, perhaps muttering exhortations to it, the one thing you can be sure of is that it will not grow. But if you learn to look away, if you learn to look to Christ, and if you turn to Scripture, you will find that your faith-precisely because you weren't paying attention to it-has been quietly growing.

      Christ be with you
      why does Be mock God
      Do not be deceived; *God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.*
      For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; *but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.*
      *And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.*
      For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. (rom 2:13)
      we are justified not by Faith alone but one that has the Law
      Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. (rom 3:31)
      Living by faith is not living by faith alone
      God bless you

    "Things are accomplished by the faithfulness of the object that we place our faith in, and not by the robust nature of our faith." This is a life changing truth I'm thankful to have heard. I need to internalize this.
    On a less serious note: at 16:10, the cow casually observing is a masterpiece. Gary Larson would be proud.

    This is awesome! It's really helpful for me, especially since I struggle with turning away from my own faith instead of examining it under a microscope. It's definitely a vicious cycle that can leave you paralyzed. I have doubted my own salvation because of not properly understanding election or faith. I doubt my faith is real because I fear He hasn't elected me. Though evidence of election would be living faith. Again, it's a vicious circle for me.
    I’m scared I don’t have faith because I don’t have much faith that He will save ME. He has an elect. He is faithful to His elect. They will certainly be saved. But am I one of the elect? My faith is weak. I look at it to see if I’m elect. How can I look at God’s promises to the elect and believe He will be graciously give me the gift of a living faith in Him? (I’m asking for help, not debating him).
    Oh may the Lord bless us with eyes to see HIS faithfulness. Thanks, Christ Church for posting this.

    Faith = Trust on anything that is true , dependable , powerful , or real . The best Example for this is ; GOD HIMSELF !!!.. that is why HE require in us to HAVE Faith in HIM .
    There are things that men can have Faith on , if it is real ! But if it is not guaranteed sure , don’t put on your faith ! You will surely fail !! … this is a reality in life !!!….and many people didn’t understand it !!!!!!!

  • @jvlp2046
    @jvlp2046 Před 2 lety

    The CONTEXT of Faith "Alone" means like this... Analogy/metaphor... For Example... If I read in the book that Mr. Smith entered the theater by himself and exited with his friends."... Can I NOT comprehend/understand/interpret that Mr. Smith entered "ALONE" in the theater just because the word "ALONE" was not written?... that is a RIDICULOUS context... That was what the Bible had TRULY meant by context without the word "ALONE."
    The same with FAITH thru the Grace of God, which must come "ALONE" in us without any "work/deeds" that we can at least boast of, by having "first" the "BELIEF" in Christ Jesus who died for our sins and accept Him as our Lord and Savior (messiah/christ),... then after believing, what follows next is to "REPENT" for all our previous transgressions and accept "(Water) BAPTISM" in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...then we became a NEW Person (a new beginning, a new birth, like becoming spiritually "born again," not the religion called Born Again) in Christ Jesus thru the Holy Spirit called Christians, that we may do our DEEDS/WORKS of Charity of Love to your neighbors including enemies that are "Pleasing" in the Sight of God... By these, we no longer can claim all our Good Works/Deeds came 100% from our OWN selves ALONE by the gift of free will but by the ONE who manifested into our new lives in Christ Jesus thru the Holy Spirit called "COMFORTER" of Christians...
    All the "GOOD WORKS/DEEDS" that we do in our New Lives with Christ do not come "alone" by our own Freewill but by the help of the Holy Spirit that manifested inside ourselves... St. Paul said, we must STEADFAST and FINISH the race... of what?... Faith and doing Good Works until our last breath (death)...why?... for we might LOSE it in our OWN way (not thru the hands of God) if we are not STEADFAST with our Faith and Good Works/Deeds up to the last END of our earthly lives... For on Judgment Day of God, all will be judged according to their Works/Deeds "accordingly" (Rev. 20:12 / Roman 2:6)... Why ACCORDINGLY?... because the Jews who did not believe in God's Son as the Messiah/Christ will be judged thru their works/deeds based on the Law of Moses... others, like the Sodom and Gomorrah, according to the Bible, God will be more merciful for they never HEARD the Gospel, same with those people who died before the Gospel was preached, same with other religion and beliefs...
    For the True Christians (not Christian by birth/name only or the would-be followers of Christ) eventually will not be judged, but rather 'THEY" will all seat down at the judgment table of God and not be condemned in the fire of hell... Wow, we (Christians) will be SPECTATORS to all people that God will be judged, the bible even said, Christians will be able also to judge and be able to accuse their persecutors, and their murderers as well... Praise be to God...
    To God be the Glory, Power, and Honor, in Christ Jesus name, above all other names, our Lord and Savior... Amen.

    Protestant beliefs are contradictory and self refuting which means it cannot be of God.
    Belief 1) Good works is only a fruit or sign of salvation
    Belief 2) Man will always produce bad fruit (sin)

    No man is condemned because of Adam's sin! That is not found in the Bible! Sin is the transgression of the law! Therefore a new born cannot be a sinner! How has he transgressed the law? No! Nobody is born a sinner! We become sinner's when we sin! But babies sin! Yes, they learn it from their parents! Even from the womb! It is a lie, and the abdication of truth to say otherwise! Yes your children are sinner's because of you!
    The way of recovery is to first accept our part in this evil! Offences will come, but woe to him by who they come! Sin is evil, and spreads evil like a plague on those around us!
