WORLDLY FAITH is a TRAP! This is what BIBLICAL faith produces!

- Many of us say we believe in the God of the bible and what Jesus did on the cross, but is there a way to know if this is true? Jesus tells us that our actions proceed from our hearts. Both good and bad. Are we lead by the Holy Spirit and do we produce the fruit of the spirit in our lives? If we are really justified by what Jesus did on the cross, we will see fruit from our faith. Faith is required to please God! I pray the Holy Spirit speaks to someone through this message. God bless you greatly!

"Genuine faith, he insists, always and inevitably produces evidence of its existence in a life of righteous living. Biblical faith cannot exist apart from acts of obedience to God"
Douglas J. Moo, The Letter of James, The Pillar New Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI; Leicester, England: Eerdmans; Apollos, 2000), 38.
None is righteous, no, not one.
@@jamesp877 That's what genuine faith implies, amen.
@@jordanflores2308 Our righteousness comes in never denying what Christ did for us, not what we do for Him. He did it all for us. Matthew 7:21-24, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (These that said Lord Lord, said "We" did all these wonderful works" they were relying on themselves to be saved, instead of the Savior, and Jesus called their works, which were "good", on man's standards, but it was Christs work that saved sinful man. It is why Christ called those wonderful works, works of iniquity) There is a difference between salvation, and sanctification through good works. Jesus died, and according to Paul we are no longer under the "school master" known as The Law.
That quote is so good. Genuine faith does indeed produce fruit.
@@sebastianwehler3218 Sometimes quickly, and sometimes very, very, slowly, lol. I was doing good works by the flesh for a long time, till the Holy Spirit taught me how to do things by my spirit man. He put in my path a man I observed walking by his Spirit, and that started me on my journey to learn how. I was a slow learner, lol, but God is faithful, amen!!! Be blessed!!!
Beautiful message and so right on. My ex husband and I are pretty new at this, we are both 64 years old. We have lived all these years for ourselves, working hard in the real estate field. We bought the big beautiful house with a gorgeous backyard and pool, 3 car garage with Mountain View’s. It was a very stressful time in my life, on the weekends I cleaned the home, did the laundry and grocery shopping. My ex husband (still my best friend) would work in the yard and clean the pool. Then on Sundays I would cook a big meal and have friends and family over. Then clean up after and go to bed tired. Mondays we would do it all over again. We had become slaves to this home and the big mortgage caused me a lot of stress. We still felt empty. That is when we stopped looking for fulfillment in material things, however it took many more years of searching and finally after over 20 years together we divorced. We both ended up in the same place now, we found our Father and his son our precious redeemer. Thank you Jesus, I now have a peace and joy that I have never had. When I wake up and when I go to bed I have a big smile on my face, I am always singing worship songs in my head. My heart and mind are just filled with gratitude. This gratitude has created a deep burning desire to serve my Father and to help others really live and enjoy life, as it was meant to be. We are being so deceived by this world don’t become a slave by possessions, it’s a trap. Feel joy every day by reading the Bible and talking to your Father. He knew us BEFORE were in our mothers womb. Come home and feel love, peace and joy every day. He cherishes us and talking to us fills his heart with joy. Don’t let it take you this long to find what you were created for. Your life will fall into place for the first time. Love and peace to all. Relationship over Religion for sure!!🙏🏻💕💕💕💕💕😎🌵
What you said is so true. At 54 and only being born again for 2 years, I agree with you, don't wait this long to come to the beautiful life that Jesus Christ offers in Him. I'm done with the possession here on earth but my husband isn't quite there yet. We had to buy a 5th wheel RV to live in with our 9yr old daughter about 3 yrs ago when we lost our home during the pandemic. Even though we're poor we're happier than we've ever been. I have this supernatural joy that I can't explain but I'm always grateful no matter what. It's the kind of joy that can only come from Jesus and I don't ever take it for granted. Living with less is definitely a blessing and I've never seen a hearse towing a U-Haul😉
"This gratitude has created a deep burning desire to serve my Father and to help others really live and enjoy life" and there you have it. The marks of a heart transformed freely by His Grace. Love and blessings to you and your husband and welcome to the family!
Genuine faith, he insists, always and inevitably produces evidence of its existence in a life of righteous living. Biblical faith cannot exist apart from acts of obedience to God

Oh yes, material wealth can be very deceptive, thank you for sharing your testimony with us.
Amen!
Faith without works is like having a medical degree but never treating a patient.
IF we could do one work that would save us, then Jesus died for nothing. Galatians 2:21. Romans 5:19-21. Romans 11:6. Acts 16:31 period. Galatians 1:16. Galatians 2:21.
Matthew 7:21-23. They did many wonderful works, but never did the will of His Father in heaven. John 6:40 and John 6:29. Faith alone apart from any works. Romans 4:5-8 Romans 3:26-28. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin, we are DECEIVED and the TRUTH is not in us. First John 2:2. First John 5:13. John 3:18. A one time faith alone in Jesus alone apart from any works, Good works could never pay for sin.
Second Corinthians 5:21. Second Corinthians 9:15. Thanks be to God for His UNSPEAKABLE GIFT, ETERNAL LIFE. John 10:28-29. Hebrews 13:5. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will never cast us out. John 6:37-39.
John 3:16. Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. John 3:17-18.
Thank you, brother. Because of impatience, the Enemy almost had me slipping away through pride, resentment, and unspoken insecurities that I mask by being ostentatious. Worse, I was on the verge of becoming a well-versed hypocrite with a semblance of godliness. This message may have just saved my soul.
I was reading in James and was so confused about faith with or without works. That was before I clocked in at work and I was praying on this very subject and the first thing I listen to this morning was you explaining what I needed to know, and I know now how God speaks to me, thank you so much !
In Jesus Name Amen

Yes genuine faith produces good works BUT those works do not lead you to heaven. ONLY Jesus and his finished work on the cross does so be weary not to fall into a works based salvation it’s either you take the punishment or Jesus took the punishment for you can’t be half half that’s not faith.
@@PixelatedMagikarp Isn't it implied that you are not "works based" if it is "Genuine" faith? You've made a moot point.
@@jordanflores2308 can you rephrase what you said English isn’t my first language and it’s coming off more so as condescending than an actual conversation.
@@PixelatedMagikarp I didn't mean to come off as condescending. I was basically asking what you meant by your comment, because in the quote if the faith is "Genuine", it would already mean that you are not "working" for your salvation because it is "Genuine".
There you go you got this one right on now I am starting to see TH-camrs see more truth this is totally awesome you're 100% right they go hand in hand you can't have Works without faith and faith without works it's impossible very good video I hope a lot of people see this and it opens up their eyes because I see a lot of people out there walking around calling themselves Christians and they do not act like that at all and they still love to do the things of the world they still love to do the things that please their flesh it's very sad, thing is they actually think they are saved that's the worst thing of all they're being deceived good video please make more like this I love the truth!!!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful message; it takes us back to the essence of what being a christian means and involves! My dear brother something supernatural happened to me today regarding this message, I really hope you believe me if I tell you that as I stumbled upon your video and started watching it, I realized in amazement that what I dreamed last night was really a dream from God since in my dream I was at a christian gathering listening to a preacher share a message that I knew came directly from Jesus’s heart; this preacher was a bearded man and instead of being standing on a pulpit he was kind to kneeling on the floor as he preached and all of us listening to him were sitting around him in a big circle, the place was really crowded. As I heard the message the Holy Spirit gave me revelation that this message was the essence of what Jesus wanted from us as his followers . The preacher then went on to pray and sing in tongues and in Hebrew, and I was filled by the Spirit as I was able to join in praising the Lord in tongues too. Then I woke up. The amazing thing is that as soon as I started watching your video this morning I realized that the preacher in my dream was you! It was really you, and it was your message! I cannot really thank you enough for sharing this, and for seeking the Lord and reaching out! God bless you.
Man, God bless you greatly for sharing this. Wow. 😭😭🙏🏼
You will know, I'm a very old man if you look at my body.
But I don't let the old man into my head. Oh yeah, sometimes this old body forgets things. So thank you so much for your ministhree. Which.
Which I share with many. May my Lord and God, Jesus Christ bless you In your work.
Most people in Churches Today are More Lost than The lost and Believe they are Saved, but will only Hear, Depart from me You Workers of Iniquity
Sad but true
Must stay in his word, daily.
You have helped me understand sooooooo much ! Thank you father for using him to teach us deeper meanings of scripture
@britneejjohnson , YES , However ,we are to Look to The LORD YESHUA JESUS CHRIST ----
@ britneejjohnson , Always check the Scriptures / BIBLE , GOD'S written WORD for HE CHRIST is The WORD , The I AM.
You don’t need this guys Bible interpretation or rather said, lack thereof. You have the Holy Ghost and need no other teacher. 1 John 2:27
@@jd-gb1vf Those of us who read the Bible know his interpretation is hermeneutically sound. "If the first sense makes sense, look for no other sense lest you come up with nonsense". And there you have it. I see no proof-texting or alteration of the plain meaning of the passages he cited. Additionally, what he said fits within the whole counsel of scripture. So anything outside of that is really conjecture and personal opinion.
@@jd-gb1vf Ephesians 4 vers 11(and12-14) No wonder why there are so many spiritual childs. There is a reason why the Lord told me in 2005 to pray vers 11.
So many do not get this. Works can never repay our debt that is why we are saved by grace through faith. But it is our duty to salute and do the work out of a heart changed and thankful for what God did for us. Faith without works is worthless it is dead. Agree.
Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
You teach the truth dear Brother.
God Bless You
❤ A believer from Strong’s concordance is the Greek word pistos: of persons who show themselves faithful in the transaction of business, the execution of commands, or the discharge of official duties. Remember the Lord’s centurion encounter and highlighted Faith? He believed and put that belief into action. For demons, they believe through persistent, functional anti-Christ activity. God’s “Being” as the Great I AM exists as Love and thereby loves. He Acts. If we say I AM (Being-in-Christ) one who lives (be a life-giver or believer) we do as well. Faith at work defines us in society, be it material or spiritual. It is relational, interactive and expressive. The tremendously meaningful last message my Lord/Master/King saved for His disciples was to love one another to identify themselves through action. We know the transformative power of Pentecost from which comes a Book of Acts, not a Book of Salvation. The cross erases sin, works confirms the cross.
so good!🔥
That is beautifully insightful! Thank you for sharing!
This should be so straightforward: We are SAVED by grace - nothing else. That is how we are justified and our works have absolutely nothing to do with it. WORKS come from the new man that GOD has birthed by his grace in us. There is NO WAY that the new man is going to produce evil works or leave us exactly the same as we were before our profession of faith - if it does, then we have the demonic kind of faith, which is nothing more than a mental ascent with no new birth involved.
It's impossible not to change when the very core of our desires are changed by the grace God has shown us. We cannot change our hearts - that is strictly God's providence and it cannot be manufactured. People may be able to clean up their act, but if there is no new life inside, they will be the same person they always were, with the same desires to please the flesh as they always had and any thought of God or what he thinks, remains just that - a thought. Only the Spirit of God can transform the heart, and therefore, produce the good works that we are saved unto (Ephesians 2:10). When you're in love, you WILL do whatever it takes to please the one you love - you can't help it! It's not burdensome, it's not sweating by your brow, it's the natural disposition of your heart to show a person you're in love with how much you love them.
We may falter in our walk with God from time to time, because we are still flesh on the outside but that desire to know, to please and to serve Jesus that comes from the new man on the inside, will never go away.
Exactly right. But James, writing to Israel, tells them that they are justified by faith and works.
@@bugsocsollie1694Read Romans 5:1
When we follow "theologians" whose "rap sheet" includes murders and tortures, wars and persecutions, then
we follow in THEIR image. EVERYONE in the world knows that Jesus DIED, but He never killed ANYONE!
"We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ." Will HIS WORDS come out of OUR MOUTHS, or the
words of "someone else?"
@@saludaniteI’m confused, what are you talking about?
@@nightsky5882 Yeah, Romans 5 is Paul's doctrine for the Body of Christ Church during this Dispensation of Grace. It isn't going to be Israel's doctrine once God calls out to them again (during their 70th week of prophecy). They will have missed their chance to be saved by Grace through faith when their 70th week of their prophecy begins.
Good job my Brother, you have rightly divided the words of God. Thank you.😊
An excellent message, that is sound doctrine. Quite refreshing.
Pray for me.
Dude been watching you for months. God is dealing me strongly. I'm an alcoholic. But love Jesus Christ 🙏. You Rock. Keep absolutely destroying it brother. Love Dane ❤️
Remember we can do nothing without Christ. Genuine faith doesn't save, only genuine faith in Christ saves and once saved produces good fruits.
What a great message Matt! This gives me hope, realizing that I am in fact justified by Christ’s finished work and when it comes to my work I can start small and let God grow me; there’s no pressure to do this giant thing that has to impact everyone on the planet in order to be counted as work. Thank you for this message and God bless you. Amen 🙏
Yes , actions speak louder. Heart must be clean / pure. Amen HSpirt move us inside out
He hates sin because He loves us ❤sin is poisonous.
Amen!! You will know them by their fruit.
If there was ever a book that should be in the Bible it's the book of James! I could care less what any man says! The book of James is Holy Spirit wisdom, and it is absolutely integral to our spiritual development and sanctification! Peace to one and all brothers and sisters! Study the book of James 🕊️🕊️🕊️
* Ephesians 2 V.10. SAVED for " works " in CHRIST. ---- ** Thus to Glorify GOD , LORD YESHUA JESUS CHRIST. ------
Key word: IN!!
Amen!!! Tearing down strongholds, built of lies in us when we invite Jesus in, is hard work, which only we can do with the teaching, and the power, the HS brings into our lives. We couldn't walk in the Truth that is found in Christ without Him, amen!!!
I heard someone preach that whenever you read believe/belief/faith to read it as faithful or faithfulness. That helps put the action required in our walk in perspective and understanding beyond just the mental agreement some think is only required. If you love me you will kerp my commands.
But it could also be religious and not being spiritual many self proclaiming Christian’s hasn’t been born again . Your faith will manifest once you encounter the lords grace and mercy
Again- thank god I found this channel it’s always the right message at the right time.
Please pray for Dustin and Brian and Cody that they return back to the Lord.
Wonderful message! I know a lot of us needed to hear it. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I keep this book tabbed to always refer back to. As Christians we have to remember that these are messages to continue to remind us what it is to live by Gods standard which is holiness and righteousness
Umm for without faith it is impossible to please God...the righteous shall live by faith
Great message... How could anyone think it's a good idea to want James removed from the WORD. it's like a new testament proverbs. It's also a great barometer, to examine ourselves and see if we are in the faith. One of my favorite books. Subbed, thank you
Amen, brother! Good word! Thank you. 😇👍
Amen! I get so excited hearing this because I know it’s the truth!
So you are saying the disciples didn’t just walk with Jesus, listen to Him, see Him heal and preach, watch Him die and see Him after 3 days, have the upper room experience….then just believe in Him and go back home and start fishing like before they met Him? Hmm. Interesting. You saying the church didn’t just appear, or happen out of thin air? That the disciples had to actively go and do things? Things Jesus commanded and actually told them to do? Wow. Interesting. Some TH-cam Church Inc. Pastors need to hear this.
these teaching are wonderfull heart warming it helps me to stand on the rock of christ and understand gods love im truly glad to recieve this understanding wow it just makes more perfect sense of what i am going thru thank you !
Thank you for the blessed message
Good message brother!
Thank you✨🦋
I am so glad you started this TH-cam channel. A working man's explanation of Scripture that I enjoy watching with every new video. God bless you brother 🙏😊
Good stuff my friend . I totally agree 👍
God bless you, Adam.
...and Jordan. Thank you.
Awesome!
This is the message of truth...God bless you brother in Christ...
Thank you so much!!! ❤🙏
Thank u for doing this
Thankyou for making amazing biblically accurate videos! Amen!
amen thank you Lord Jesus
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much! God bless you 🙏🏼
Love your channel, love you sharing truth. God bless, the content really blesses me.
Amen, thank you!
Thank you brother. May god keep guiding you. I pray everyone who watches your channel, sees his glorious love. For he is the only way. Not just to his almighty kingdom, but to peace, love, and safety all being under his wing. Even on your darkest days. Even when you fail him. Even when all seems lost. He is the I AM. He is our king. He is always with you holding onto you. No matter how dark the valley of the shadow of death may seem. His light breaks through all and everything. He created all and everything. He is with you always loving you ever so perfectly. Wanting us so deeply and purely. Our king. Our creator. The alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end. Let us bow to him. Remember forgive everyone. For the reason we are truly all equal. Is the fact that we all are sinners. We all are not worthy of his love. For just because you see someone on their bad day. Lucky for them they don't have to see us on our bad days. Let us come together and praise his almighty name.
💯 Relationship over Religion ❤
Amen!
I struggle with this at times yet. I appreciated this teaching. Thank You and have a blessed week.
Think of it like this. “Works that are produced by being justified apart from works.” If God were to justify you without works, expecting nothing in return, what might happen? Well, you might experience love for the first time. You might never be afraid of death again. You might have some joy. You might finally understand kindness. And maybe, just maybe, you would begin to love others in the same way, expecting nothing in return.
Religion teaches us to do work for God to please God. Work to be justified. What does God say? Without faith it is impossible to please God. To him who works not, but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.
You must understand salvation as a free gift in order to experience God’s love. Otherwise you will never love others the way God created you in Christ Jesus to love them.
If I have to work for my salvation then nothing I do would be done in love, but out of selfishness to save myself. God is a genius. Trust in His salvation. God loves you expecting nothing in return. Love others expecting nothing in return.
@@BingoNamo-gb8pz Well put .
I am 68 and have only heard the book of James one time. Thank you for this presentation
HalleluYah 🙏
Demons know the Truth, therefore they have no need to believe.
What has been lost in the American church is that we are called to repent, and obey JESUS as LORD. 1st John says "by this we know that we know HIM, if we keep HIS commands." The implication of that is, if you don't obey HIM you don't know HIM. If you don't know HIM you aren't saved. JESUS is saying the same thing James is saying in Matt 7:21, and the 4 warning parables of Matt 24 and 25.
Good point. We need to reject the evil commandments in the OT
Excellent!! God bless you brother ✝️🙌❤️
If you truly believe in Christ. Them you can do all things (including defeating your flesh daily) through Christ that strengthens you. Thats when you're saved.
Then who can be saved?
For men to free themselves from sin is impossible. But with God all things are impossible. Amen.
Exactly, nothing to boast about afterwards, but OSAS crowd will still call it a work and accuse you of being selfrighteous and trying to work your way into heaven. Full faith means you believe everything scriptures says including how God literally tells us that when faced with temptation, he will make a way for us to overcome and triumph over sin. To be fully set free from the bondage of sin. Having full faith in Phillipians 4:13 does not make one selfrighteous. We should obey Christ out of gratefulness alone for what he has done for us on the cross. Everyone downplaying obedience or calling it a work is doing damage and is misleading many. Obedience is key. John 14:21 Those are the ones who truly love Jesus. How big can their love be not even wanting to obey Jesus, and i know many such folks.
I thot Jesus defeated sin in the flesh and became sin so that thru faith I could be made the righteousness of God in Him?!?!
@@RobertMclaren68 Jesus never "became" sin. He took sin upon himself and then sin was crucified with him and thus defeated. Faith yes, but many practice mere mental assent which is not the same. Romans 6. True born again believers are baptized with him into death, the old sinful self in no more, and now we walk in newness of life. Transformation. Renewed mind, visible fruits etc. 1 John 3:9 Those who are truly born again cannot go on sinning. We are transformed more and more into the image and likeness of God We are called to be holy. Majority uses grace as a license to sin, thinking they can now sin as much they want, but thats just not the gospel. Obedience is key. If you truly love Christ you will obey him. Otherwise you honor him with your lips only while your heart is far from him.
@@RobertMclaren68 (continued) If you have been told to just believe in Jesus that he died for your sins, as in a one time event confessing him with your mouth to be your Lord, but then think you can now continue to live a carnal life full of sin, fully enjoying it, then im sorry but then you have been told a lie aka a watered down version of the gospel that doesnt truly save anyone. Then your heart and mind is as far removed from Jesus as it gets. Just saying. Food for thought. Unfortunetely there many who believe just that
@sebastianwehler3218 2 Corinthians 5:21 literally says Christ became sin for us...
The old sinful self is no more? Has your flesh died already? It must still be alive if you're able to comment on here. Since we're still bound to these old corrupt bodies of flesh until the day of redemption we will still sin...God has already judged our flesh back in Genesis...all our thoughts and imaginations are only evil all the time there is not one who is righteous no not one...He's not given us a new sinless heart yet...each day is a struggle and we choose whether to walk in the spirit or according to the flesh...seriously can anyone prove this nonsense about the difference between our heart and mind? We either believe something or we don't...its a choice of the will affected by the Spirit.
I agree obedience is key but the main thing is that we obey God by trusting in Christs righteousness alone to justify us before God for salvation. Once we rest in Christ in full assurance as God's beloved children then grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and walk soberly righteously and godly in this present world. I agree most people who claim to be Christian probably are not....mainly because the true gospel is not being preached in today's churches...
Tetalistia!
Have you ever read James 3 and James 4 after James 2 and realized what is said about boasting in works?
Have you ever read the letters in Revelation and realized that their many works did not matter and even Sardis was told they were dead?
Have you ever read John 6 and what works we have to do?
Have you ever read Matthew 7:21-23
Nothing wrong with doing good works because we are saved not to be saved. It's all about Faith in Jesus what he did on the cross. His death,burial and resurrection. In Romans chapter 4 verse 5 says if you do does not work But trusts God who Justifies the ungodly their Faith is credited as righteousness. And when some people asked Jesus. What must we do to do the work of God. Jesus tells them. The work of God is this to believe in the one who God sent. John chapter 6 verse 29
I recently subbed to your channel and your content is a blessing. What denomination are you with?
No once your saved there is no work to do. God performs HIS work in US as we abide in him in faith and trust. We are Gods workmanship, meaning we are something God is working on as we live by faith. There is no work to do as a believer other than believe the gospel.
When someone says "its nit enough just to say you believe, you need evidence", your response should be to point to the cross because thats all the evidence you need. I believe in Jesus Christ and am saved!
Once you are saved the genuine faith in Christ produces genuine proof. Not out of obligation but out of gratitude.
@@jordanflores2308suppose it doesn't. What do you say about someone who says they believe and yet they don't go out of their way to do works?
Also, where does the bible say that?
@@CultofGrace
Faith without works is dead - James 2:26.
Multiple times throughout the bible is the parable "know a tree by its fruit" used to tell believers to know who is truly faithful by their fruits - Matthew 12:33-37
The fruits of the Holy Ghost is what is being referred to in Matt 12:33-37 are stated in Galatians 5:22-23.
@@CultofGrace Brother what is ironic about the question is that is exactly who James was writing to, he was writing to believers who were being double minded and not living in accordance with what they professed to believe. We can look into History to see that this is the case. Good hermanutics require us to look at the context by the intended, i.e. Why is james writing this letter, who is james writing to, and what is the setting in that era, this gives us clarity as to what the author is saying.
@basicbiscuitt when he says "know a tree by its fruit" he was referring to false prophets and false teachers. Those who speak against grace! Fruit isn't manifested as good works because if it was then Muslims and mormons would be the most fruitful Christians on earth
And what it is when your desires start to change is this: Psalms 37:4 KJV
4 “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
What that means and there is way too much misinterpretation of that Scripture, is God will place the disires in your heart. The right desires that make doing His will a whole lot easier on us. ✝😎
Really know 😁
Amen! I was raised in church and private school and said “the sinners prayer” as a young kid on a trip to Israel and Egypt my grandmother took me on. Lived an EXTREMELY worldly life and broke almost every commandment multiple times. I’m now 44 and idk what happened, either God made me born again or I TRULY believed in him and put my entire life in his hands about 8 years ago and I’ve seen multiple miracles, no matter how small, still miracles, I know my fathers voice and try to do the work of my father, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, visiting the sick. When your faith is true you will change and do the work of your father. We’re saved by faith alone, but the works come after the faith. Jesus Christ is real and has changed my life. Never felt him as a kid or my 20’s-30’s, but he was always there! I’d have been dead or in prison by now. I can show his hands in every step of my life over the past 8-10 years. He is real and give yourself to him wholly and fully and you will know him and have a relationship with him! Relationship over religion 100%!!
God bless~
🙌🏼 praiseeee
@@glasshousetvofficial if you get this, I’ve got a question for you that maybe you could cover in a video? Either way, so I’ve seen some preachers say that becoming “born again” isn’t something that we do or even have any control over. That it’s something that the Lord does through The Holy Spirit, which some believers will get from the Lord and other believers will never receive that gift. What is your understanding of “born again”?? Thank you!
God bless~
I believe James was saying that the evidence of your salvation/faith in Christ is the way you have changed from within and how you lived your life in Christ Jesus. Otherwise, we will go down the slippery slope of workbase salvation, like the Catholics and the Muslims. All I have to do is think of the thief that was crucified along Christ, and he was saved by his confession of Jesus as a son of God when he said “remember me when you come to your kingdom.” And Jesus answered “truly you will be with me in the kingdom today” the thief didn’t do anything other than confessing and putting his faith in Christ in the second he had left of life.
Romans 4:5
However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
Works do not = Salvation
Works are acts of love for God
As one would do for anyone they love
If all believers already hated evil as a result of salvation, then why does Paul tell believers in Romans 12:9 to "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good"? Paul is only talking to saved people here because we see in Romans 12:4-5 - "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." So someone having been eternally redeemed by Jesus, doesn't mean that they'll naturally start loving and doing good works. Titus 3:5-8 is another example where saved believers might not be careful to maintain good works. Once Saved Always Saved is true, Free Grace Theology is true.
You are falling off the rails? When people are Washed by The Blood of The Son of God, they are Baptized with The Holy Spirit, and Changed ( 2Corinthians 5:17 ) They and Everyone around them will know, Impossible Not to. They will tell others, what has happened. Even The Savior could Not stop them.
@@bruce8961 2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Is talking about your Spirit having been born again, but the sinful flesh doesn't change. Jesus says in John 3:6-7 -> "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." Jesus says in John 6:63 says "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." Philippians 3:20-21 say "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." 1 John 3:9 says "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
So it's clear from scripture that when a person believes in Jesus to be saved, their Spirit is born again, never commits sin, but their flesh is still vile and needs to be changed to be like Jesus' glorious body in the future. 1 Corinthians 15:50-57 is a good passage that shows our flesh is corrupted with sin still after being Spiritually saved; flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
@@michaelc7418 1 John 3:9. True born again believers cannot go on sinning. 1 John 2:4 too.

@@michaelc7418 I hope you know that true faith in the gospel literally transforms. It changes your life. You will not remain the same, only when your faith is not truly genuine. A true born again believer is easily recognized and there is a distinction between a real one and a lukewarm one. Hence why Jesus said ye shall know them by their fruits. He also differentiated between those who only honor him with their lips while their hearts are far from him.
Do you think repenting is done one sin at a time or deciding that God is always right and we depend on His word, not our feelings, emotions, "knowledge", or logic.
I WANT TO! WHAT DO I DO???
DEMONS DON'T BELIEVE... THEY KNOW.... THERE'S A DIFFERENCE...
baptism is in the name of Jesus
What Bible version do you use in your videos?
What is this work that needs done? I hear lots of calling to this much work, but little detail on what that work is.
Hi Adam. I wanted to ask you a question about baptizing in the NAME of the Father and the Son and the holy spirit. What is his name? His name is JESUS. There is a scripture In Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. Father Son and holy spirit are just titles. We have a name my name is Rebekah so I ask you do people identify and call me Mother, daughter, sister spirit. No they call me by my name which is Rebekah. There is No other name under heaven in by we must be saved and his name is Jesus!! I'm praying that God gives you that revelation and that it's true. Take care I have been very blessed by your post!! God bless you brother 🙏
Growing in Christ is MEANINGLESS without dying to the flesh.
Dying to the flesh is meaningless without being transformed into the image of Christ.
Being transformed is empty without doing His works, whether of power, or mercy, or pure love.
Why are you people ASHAMED of the words of Jesus? I never hear them come out of your mouths!
Demons don't believe or have faith in the sense of believing, they know! They have walked in heavenly places, they watched as man was made! And they rejected God for the devil. Not the same, as someone who reads a book or hears a sermon and puts their trust in Jesus. Also there is no sacrifice for angels. Jesus didn't take on an angel form and die for them only us humans.
Please explain what works are.
Walk in love 1 Corinthians 13:13
Works are the natural response to genuine faith. It is the result of genuine faith.
Anything you do for others that reflects the fruit of the spirit
You see a need, and in love you try to meet it-that’s a good work. Good works are the overflow of love for Christ that meets the needs of others
Jesus gave us an example in His words in Matthew 25:35-40.
for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
Another example is the story of the good samaritan. Luke 10:29-37.
In our works show the fruit of the Spirit; love, compassion, kindness, forgiveness.
One word of caution, we are to do it with gladness in our hearts, not grudgingly.
As said But The most important is telling others The Way of Salvation, and what Christ has done in Your life
Where does Matthew 22:37
Mark 12:30
Luke 10:27
????
They are all repeating Moses from Deuteronomy 6
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your
eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Why? Because this is what it means to LOVE GOD...
Deuteronomy 5
8 ‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 9 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
..... To LOVE and KEEP (guard, protect, obey) His commands (Laws,Words) is part of the 10 commandments.
It goes so much deeper though...
I found out the book of Deuteronomy isn't even the real name of that book! In Hebrew and the original scrolls it is called DEVARIM which translates WORDS!!! THE WORD of God made flesh!!! What makes this even more amazing is Psalm 119!!!
Hi Glasshouse, Can I ask you specifically, in regards to;
James 2:
“21. Was not Abraham our father justified *BY* works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and *BY* works was faith made perfect?
24. Ye see then how that *BY WORKS* a man is justified, and *NOT by FAITH ONLY.*
25. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified *BY* works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
I'm truly not seeing anything about "by a faith that works". I'm seeing "by works", and "not by faith only".
Since you feel that in this passage James is talking about being justified specifically *before God* to the *free gift of eternal life* and *God's imputed righteousness,* can you give a quick description of the works you did in order that you would receive that justification?
James was writing to believers who were being double-minded and not living in accordance with what they professed to believe. We can look into History to see that this is the case. Good hermeneutics require us to look at the context by the intended, i.e. Why is James writing this letter, who is James writing to, and what is the setting in that era, this gives us clarity as to what the author is saying.
20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”-and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
Jas 2:20-26.
I think what is truly telling about what James is saying is in two words "foolish" in Greek is κενός-Kenos, which means "Empty". James is calling these double-minded believers "empty". In verse 22. Faith was active along with his works, and faith was "completed" or in the Greek τελειόω-Teleioo, some of the senses are "bring to its goal" or "accomplish"
The proof of Abraham's belief was accomplished in the act that he did, Abraham's faith was active and not "empty" like the double-minded believers James was writing to.
9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
, Ge 22:9.
Every step of the way Abraham believed/had faith/trusted in the Lord. Genuine faith is continued trust in what Christ has done for us, not only are we justified through Him but we are now heirs according to the promise, we are no longer second-class citizens because of Christ's sacrifice. What does Paul tell us to do with this knowledge?
4 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:1-3.
Paul echoes this by saying, let what you do weigh as much as what you know. Walk in accordance with what you know. This is our confidence. It is an active faith.
God bless.
@@jordanflores2308
Of course I want people to live in accordance with what they say the believe, but my question is about the application of this verse with regards to eternal life and God's imputed righteousness - salvation.
"Genuine faith" isn't a term I can find in my Bible anywhere, so the way it's defined by this or that person is an opportunity to import things (potentially false) into the scripture that doesn't say and gets tricky. Again, I don't see anything here that says "justified by a type of faith that works" as many try to make it say - This passage clearly says and emphasizes numerous times the justification here is *BY works, and NOT faith only* - so again;
Since GlassHouse feels that in this passage James is talking about being justified specifically *before God to the free gift of eternal life* and *God's imputed righteousness,* if he can give a quick description of the works he did in order that he would receive that justification, that's my question I'm hoping he can answer.
@@missiletoad7015 I didn't think "Genuine faith" needed to be defined but sure. I think for a little more clarity as to what you may be alluding to I think it would be fair for me to ask you questions at this point, especially since I do not want to misrepresent what you believe.
1. James is clearly making a distinction between types of "faith" James 2:14 and the type of "faith" that Abraham had. What are these two types of faith?
2. I hear this term/phrase used all the time "James is talking about profitable faith", but nobody ever elaborates on the phrase like its something everyone is supposed to understand, can you give any clear insight as to what this means?
Thanks for chatting
@@jordanflores2308 I mean, we could potentially get into that, but I'd really just like an answer to my question first. This is what always happens when I ask a question like this about this passage, people want to divert away and bog you down with overly long debates about terms these verses don't use before looking at how they're applying the terms and verses in the first place. I just simply want to know what works Glasshouse did to be justified in his case. If you apply it the same way as him, I guess you can take a stab at it and give me a ballpark description of the works you did to be justified. Thank you.
@@missiletoad7015 active faith. The work is what is demonstrated in this active faith. Not mere acknowledgment. And we are justified by Him in who we believe saves us, Jesus.
in perfect love there is no fear. dont let flesh faith fool you. God affects true faith. dont fall for flesh self-attempted law based works righteousness of pharisees hypocrisy. God believes with-in you. you did get the Spirit when you came to faith. flesh does no produce anything. ie not by your own works. faith is not your works. God own you, not you yourself or people.
I'm gonna make this as simple as possible for you all. When someone believes in Jesus but then literally loves their sins more than Jesus and keeps on sinning willfully and doesnt even bother one bit to change their sinful ways, is 100% not saved. There are many christians who are struggling with sin yes, but wanting to change (renewed mind), crying out to God for help, but there are also those who literally use Christ and his grace with the kind of mindset thinking "i am forgiven no matter what i do, so now i can sin as much as i want, fully enjoy it and never lose salvation no matter what", and im sorry but those kind of christians (which are many) are not saved whatsoever. Their minds are as far removed from Christ and his teachings as it possibly gets. They are not one of His. You simply cannot love the world and sin more than Jesus and the truth.
Cannot serve two masters. Such a person's belief is DEAD and does NOT get to call themselves born again. True born again believers cannot go on sinning (1 John 3:9). If thats not a reality in one's life at the very least in your mind, you are not saved in the slightest. It is the Holy Spirit convicting you whenever you fall back into sin. Those who feel no conviction whatsoever, the HS is not even with them. If you believe in Jesus, by defintion you agree with him and everything he said. If you dont start hating sin the same way he does, your mind is not even aligned with him. Pure mental assent, not truly believing the truth how sin is bad and leads to death, not actual faith. Just abusing grace as a license to sin to feel comfortable and for being able to sleep well at night while knee deep in sin and fully enjoying it. Those kind of folks are not saved whatsoever. Make no mistake about it folks. 1 John 2:4 testifies against them. Food for thought.
You're way too focused on the flesh (carnally minded). You're also mixing Israel's doctrine with our doctrine (the Body of Christ Church). Our works do not determine our salvation, but they do determine our rewards. Israel will be saved by faith and works, once God calls out to them again.
@@bugsocsollie1694 Other way around. I am focused on walking in the spirit so that i dont fulfill the desires of the flesh. By the grace of God.
@@bugsocsollie1694 (continued) Im not even talking about works. Im talking about transformation. Know the difference between mental assent and actual faith. The shovel is your friend. Do some digging. Much love.
@sebastianwehler3218 OK good. But all you really talked about is sin.
@@bugsocsollie1694 And whats exactly the problem with that? Not sure if i understand your point? Jesus talked a lot about sin as well. The whole point is to die to sin and be transformed and renewed, and become born again and to walk in the spirit so that you dont fulfill the desires of the flesh anymore. Be set free from it and whom Jesus sets free is free indeed. To not be a slave of sin anymore and to be transformed more and more into the image of God.
Hello, I’m just a friendly messenger. per the Word of God, we actually should be baptized in the name of Jesus, Acts 2:38. If you take a look at Matthew 28:19. Take a look at the word {name} it’s singular and not plural, keying in on the oneness of God. There is not one person in the Bible that was baptized under the titles father, son, Holy Ghost. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.
Yes
No one can come to Christ except The Father Calls. When anyone feels HIS Voice Tugging on their Heart and Ask Forgiveness, they are Washed by The Blood of The Son of God, Baptized with The Holy Spirit, and Changed ( 2Corinthians 5:17 ) They will know, Impossible Not to.
These Scriptures also back up why you need to be baptized in the name of Jesus, John 1:1, John 1:14, John 10:30-33, John 14:6-9, John 3: 1-21, Acts 8: 16, Acts 10: 48, Acts 19: 5, Acts 2:38.
@@vinceray283 yes they do, there is no other name
@@vinceray283 John truly baptized with water but we shall be Baptized with The Holy Spirit ( Acts 1;5 ) I indeed Baptized you with water, but HE shall Baptize You with The Holy Spirit ( Mark 1:8 ) I indeed baptize you with Water unto repentance, But HE that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear, HE shall Baptize you with The Holy Spirit and Fire ( Matthew 3:11 ) The Holy Spirit is our Teacher, Comforter ( John 14:26 ) The Holy Spirit will Teach you all things ( 1 John 2:27 )
If you believe your works is the reason why you saved you are hellbound🎤🤡
People get mixed up with the flesh and the spirit. The wages sin pays is death and James is talking about the flesh , sins are not of the spirit.1 John 3: 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin.
James :2 is talking about the flesh James 2:4 What doth it profit, my brethren,(flesh) though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?(flesh)15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,(flesh)16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; not withstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body;(flesh) what doth it profit?(flesh)17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 26 For as the body (flesh) without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead(to the flesh) also.
It is NOT a works-based salvation. We are saved by grace alone, through faith, alone, and the evidence of this saving faith is a lifestyle of righteousness." Okay ,so how are we made righteous ? Romans 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Notice we are made righteous ! Repentance of sin while we are under grace is NOT biblical, and is in fact a dangerous heresy. Where does it say repent from sin in scripture ? Repent means to turn away from an action ,to change ones mine. In the case of the Jews they have to stop thinking that sacrifices atone for their sin and that Jesus paid for all sin. we shouldn't sin and only Jesus can truly set us free from habitual sin but we still have a sinful nature .
Ya bro...repent of what sin? The ones Jesus paid for?...rather we should be thankful and run boldly to His throne of grace! 🙏✝️
@@RobertMclaren68 Amen, the wages our sin pays is death but our spirit is born again and will receive new bodies that Jesus paid for.
it never said that but was about 'Gods covenant and Christs covenant [-as part of it]' . Not how Esau deleted the word 'covenant' virtually out of all NT ! This alleged 'work vs faith' is a non-problem to God ! its like saying "a bit pregnant" ! Esaus KJV is the greatest Trap ..
The self righteousness of these saved by works bozo’s is honestly disgusting and unsettling. Good luck keeping yourselves saved from gods wrath by “sinning less”
Holiness ≠ proof of salvation. There are countless nuns and monks living holier than you could ever imagine and we all know that they are not saved by the Blood.
Silly goose. Nobody said works saves us. Works are the result of genuine faith. Works are the natural desire that we want to give to the Lord in response to the salvation given by grace through faith. Works earn us nothing but we do them because, why wouldn’t we, After all He has given us?
"Genuine faith, he insists, always and inevitably produces evidence of its existence in a life of righteous living. Biblical faith cannot exist apart from acts of obedience to God"
Douglas J. Moo, The Letter of James, The Pillar New Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI; Leicester, England: Eerdmans; Apollos, 2000), 38.
@@jordanflores2308If there’s any faith that’s not genuine it’s yours. You either believe in Christ or you don’t. Y’all love to quote commentary’s but ignore the actual source.

If we can do anything to save us, then Jesus died for nothing. IT is to pervert the gospel of grace and believe we are save by what we do or do not do. Galatians 2:21. I do not void the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, the Christ is dead in vain.
Romans 6:23 For the penalty of sin, is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus finished work on the cross plus nothing. It is His one blood sacrifice that covers us from all sin forever. Romans 4:5-8 But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on Him who justifieth the UNGODLY, his faith is counted for His perfect righteousness. Just as David describeth the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord IMPUTETH righteousness, APART FROM WORKKS. Romans 11:6. Blessed is the man who sins are covered, blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not IMPUTE sin.
Jesus paid our sin debt in full on the cross. John 3:18 Believers can no longer be condemned, but UNBELIEVERS are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God.
Acts 16:31. Faith apart from works. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that BELIEVETH on me HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that ALL that SEETH the Son, and BELIEVETH on Him, may have everlasting life.
Ephesians 2:8-9. For by grace ye are saved, THROUGH FAITH, and that not of your selves, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. Romans 3:26-28.
Jesus did all the saving we are going to get. Man can do nothing to save himself. Galatians 1:16
Roman 5:19-21 Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds. Romans 11:6. All grace, no works. If it was by works then it would no longer be grace.
You cannot live under two systems, law and grace. One work would cancel grace. The gospel has always been by grace. Romans 4:2-3. For is Abraham were justified by works, he would have something to glory in, but not before God. Abraham was justified by FAITH 430 years before Moses gave the law. John 5:24
Go and help poor and du Something useful
Salvation is not offered to demons. No, he says if your faith is not dead you will have works. Why is it so hard for people to understand that believers can and do live in the flesh and have dead faith at times. Always a consequence of not eating His flesh( consuming the Bread of Life)(daily) and drinking His blood( suffering persecution and death of the flesh by speaking Truth).
Stop focusing on sin and start pointing people to the Word of God for growth and stop putting fear into His sheep.
❤ Remembrance through Passover supper ceremony equals action with a greater appreciation of the Paschal Lamb whose sacrifice atones for all sin if we believe in Him as our Redeemer. Sin remains but we must no longer partake in it - the world’s daily bread filled with yeast. Kingdom sin arises through omitted or committed acts. There is no focus on sin but when we do not actively love God and others in place of self-love, sin remains. Get active. Choose now to live in obedience or against His rule as is His right as King. Independent action by legal citizens equals rebellion and treason. See where that leads.
This spoke to me! thank you! We all struggle with sinful actions and a thoughts at times.
Proverbs 28:14
Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
Psalms 34:9 Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.
Philippians 2:12-13: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.”
Right outside of palestine ??? Do some research.
Thats not what James is saying. James is saying faith is dead without works. It more has to do with a light being put on a candle stick, not under a bushel. Shine a light already in you. Its Christ who is the Light, not you. and he is spread to the hearts of men by giving of the gospel. Then HE does a work in men. its like this. If I am saved and yet tell no one of the GOOD NEWS that saved me. then my faith dies with me. I am saved but it ends with me. If I don't shine that light by telling others about Christ, then it dies with me. Obedience does not save people. My faith cannot save anyone, nor can my Works. It's a Gift given by God as we come into faith threw belief of His Son. If I tell no one the good news, I'm still saved but it ends with me. get it. Same gospel as Paul and everyone else in scripture. People misuse this verse ALL the time. Works salvationists Love James. You cannot Judge a man's Spiritual security by His works. Someone saved will usually have a change of heart and it will show, but Works of the person has NO BARING on rather or not they are saved or not. And I can Give several examples of this. But the Most compelling is given by Christ HIMSELF and the man on the cross next to him. This man Was NAILED to a cross. NEVER AGAIN to do ANY physical good work. And we know he did not do any good work before this. Because he was facing capital punishment by Breaking the LAW. Yet threw belief in who Christ was, His faith was given, and He was saved. Paul Himself said, He was PERFECT in the Law, but the Law did not save HIM. I can literally go on and on. Judas would have been seen as one of the apostles (healing and even doing miracles). to everyone else, he was one of the twelve. yet we all know what happened to him. He had faith in God, he was a Jew. They all had faith in God. they just did not believe in the son and therefore had carnal faith not Spiritual Faith given by God in Spirit of truth of who Christ is. I like the message but explaining James wrong only becomes a stumbling block to people who think they need to help God save them by doing something. It's just wrong. I explain this in my video a little clearer. Look we have a bible that tracks Gods chosen people who were obedient to the faith, to fulfill God will and ushered in His son and Plan for all things. but don't think their obedience is what saved them, but because of their obedience Christ came and fulfilled all things. God was saving people outside this line of chosen men too. we only have the stories of those men who God USED because of their obedience. Your saved by Grace threw faith. PERIOD. Without this CHOSEN line of people Who God is still using to usher in the anti Christ and fulfillment of end times, then Jesus would not be able to fulfill HIS WORK. (He will then deal with the Jew and bring them into belief and saving faith after the rapture of the church). God needed them to be stiff-necked and still does to fulfill all things. obedience has Nothing to do with salvation, because if it did than we would need to be PERFECT even the Jew and we know we can't because we all die and LOSE our body, we don't keep it like Christ did (him being the only Perfect one). Paul makes this VERY clear when he has a meeting with the peter and the other Jews, who also thought gentiles need to follow the Law of Moses to be righteous. Paul said NOPE
Another video incorrectly understanding what James 2 means. This teaching fails to understand the possibility of saved believers living by the flesh such as the saved believers of Corinthians, and they were chastised for it, rather than being condemned as not actually being saved due to lack of works by faith.
Faith without works is dead..it means it’s useless to help your neighbor, especially if you have what they need, but fail to give it. It doesn’t mean you’re not saved, but you aren’t walking in the Spirit.
“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?”
What good is it? Nothing, it’s useless, but it’s still faith, one is still saved. Also, what is “saved” in reference to? Salvation? Certainly not, since we know to be saved is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you know that No one can come to Christ except The Father Calls ?
@@AkeemKN Unbelievable, You were talking about being Saved. You Need to Read ( John 6:44, 6:65 )
@@bruce8961 I deleted my my reply as to not confuse anyone because I assumed I knew what you were saying in response to me. Can you elaborate on your initial reply in response to mine?
@@AkeemKN Just that you mentioned It's still Faith one is Saved , That's true. Only one thing many don't understand or know is No one can come to Christ except They are drawn by The Father, who is in Heaven. Multitudes say a so called Sinners Prayer and are told they are Saved. Some may be because they were called. Many go to The Pastor and say they don't feel Saved, he will tell you said this Prayer so You are Saved. You can't trust your feelings. That's Sending many to The Lake of Fire. Went one is Saved, they will Know, Impossible Not to.
Dude!...ur totally backloading works again!...God is the One who is just and the justifier of those who believe the gospel! The only proof that a person is saved is that they believe the testimony that God has given concerning His son and believed Jesus paid for their sins and was raised for our justification. Our own works have absolutely no part in the justification equation whatsoever. The fact that people say by necessity we must have works to prove our salvation means exactly the same thing as saying we are saved by our own works...I don't know why people can't grasp this simple concept.
We are not under the new covenant God will make with the house of Isreal...theyre currently broken off because they were unfaithful & rejected their messiah & killed Him...God has not given us a new heart be honest...we're still in our old corrupt bodies and must choose to walk after the spirit and not the deeds of the flesh daily...trust me you dont want to be under a covenant where you have to perform...rather we are memebers of the body of Christ under a testament...joint heirs with Christ of the covenant made between the Son & the Father...He alone is our sheild and exceeding great reward!
these passages are for the 1st century church who would be enduring much persecution then be raptured, he supernaturally gave them the spirit to withstand and hold on - you don't understand the Bible and are preaching totally ignorantly

@@mblb814 wild how these guys jump on and say something is wrong while simultaneously not providing evidence for a claim. “You’re wrong!” Welp… guess we should just pack it up and leave

Some church has to change and welcome the children that need's to have to hear their cries and do not push the children away because it was stepping in their ways and Jesus ways should be frist.
