Ephesians 2:8-
10
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
to do good WORKS, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (do them - good works).
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his WORKS.
Revelation 20:12-13
20:12 And I saw the "Dead", small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another Book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life: and the "Dead" were judged out of those things which were written in the Books, according to their works.
20:13 And the "sea" gave up the "Dead" which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their WORKS.
Please note well the above are Christ's own words, and His revelation to John.
Matthew 7:21-27
7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; ONLY he that doeth the Will of my Father which is in heaven.
7:22
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?
7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work inequity.
7:24
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock (the Truth):
7:25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock (the Truth).
7:26
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them NOT, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Christ died for our
PAST SINS, because we didn't keep The Law (i.e. we continued in sin, for sin is breaking The Law - I John 3:4),
NOT to give us the freedom to sin with impunity as you are suggesting.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath fore-ordained [to be] an atonement through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God;
Matthew 5:17-19 previously quoted clearly states that The Law is still in effect today (heaven and earth haven't passed) and that anyone who teaches differently (i.e. teaches people it's okay to break the Commandments/Law because they are "saved by grace") is the lowest of the low (
the LEAST) in God's Eyes.
Christ said
"think NOT that I came to destroy The Law" so anyone who is saying the opposite is a liar, and the truth is
NOT in them. Stop listening to these blind guides because they are leading their unwitting (?) victims straight into The Fire,
exactly as Christ warned (
Matt. 15:14).
And yet you provided none. The truth is faith is believing Christ-Jesus,
NOT just "in" Him. The devil/Satan believes "in" Christ, i.e. knows that Christ exists, but he does everything in his power to oppose him. The title Satan is Hebrew and means "the Opposer".
And there is no such thing as faith without works. The two go hand-in-hand. Always have, and always will.
James 2:17-26
2:17 Even so FAITH, if it hath not WORKS, is DEAD, being alone.
2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will SHOW thee my faith BY my works.
2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils (liars) also believe, and tremble.
2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain (worthless) man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is DEAD?
2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar (and God made him your example)?
2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and BY WORKS was faith (trust in God) MADE PERFECT?
2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed ONLY God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
2:24 Ye see then how that by WORKS a man is justified, and NOT by faith only.
2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by WORKS, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?
2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD also.
As above please. There is no faith without works, and there is no grace without Faith (
"for by grace ye are saved THROUGH faith"). So your claim is clearly in error, as it is completely unscriptural.
Do you feel you can show your appreciation for Christ's Sacrifice on the cross by continuing in sin/disobedience to Him? Please take the time to read the verses previously quoted, which expose the erroneous man-made doctrine you espouse for what it is: satanic.
John 14:15, 21-24
14:15
If ye love me, KEEP my COMMANDments.
14:21
He that hath my COMMANDments, and KEEPETH them, HE it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
14:22 Jude saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will obey my words: and my Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
14:24
He that loveth me not obeyeth not my sayings: and the Truth which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
I John 2:1-5
2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2:2 And he is the atonement for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, IF we keep His Commandments.
2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth NOT His Commandments, is a LIAR, and the truth is NOT in him.
2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Sin defined:-
I John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also The Law: for sin is the transgression of The Law.
Don't be fooled into thinking Christ came and suffered the agony of the cross to increase sin and evil in this world. Breaking The Law makes us criminals, and no criminal can "see" much less enter the Kingdom of heaven.
We all need to remember and return to keeping The Law, or we will find ourselves facing The Fire on Judgement Day, exactly as we've been warned.
Learn The Way home or face The Fire.
