Faith Is a Work...
1 Thes 1:2 3:
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
John 6:28-29
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29: Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
James 2:17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
20: But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
26: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
22: Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
ePH 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
gAL 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (faith of Jesus Christ... work...) NOT IN JC but FAITH OF JC...
can not be looking at a pre-condition or instrument to salvation...
people think that one must accept christ,,, you have to have faith first... but when it comes to babies then they run into a problem.... so they concock the age of accountability... there's no biblical basis for that... they must strain... they can't read...Psalm 58.... god can save anyone he wants... just like lazarush who was dead in the grave...
god gave us a new resorected soul.... we want to do the will of god... which means to do the work of god... and what will show up will be trust.. belief in him... believers... major work that shows up is believing... it is not a condition or instrument but it will be seen just as all other good works ...
justified by the faith of christ... to trust in god is a law... (god commands us to believe in him) no one can do this by himself... work of the law..
rev 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
god assigns the title FAITHFULL....TRUE.... to the Lord Jesus Christ...
Acts:14:9:
The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
perceiving that he had faith to believe...
the only faith he can see is the faith of the lord jc..
