    It is God who Works in Us

    Philippians 2:12-13 ESV “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” We are not saved from...

    Christ vouched, for your works,, on the cross (selah)

    Hi there, So we know that Jesus said "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do" on the Cross, but what we understand little of, is that Christ mixed this with faith, even as He died. Christ knew He was not trying to save the righteous, but that righteousness be fulfilled, He ensured...

    We Must Work the Works

    John 9:1-3 ESV “As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ Jesus answered, ‘It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.’” Sometimes...

    Revelation 2:2-4 ESV “I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and...

    Is it,I show my faith by my works, or does my faith work?

    ============================ My question is simple, How do we know our faith works? How I love listening to the successes of Christians personal walk, and their faith testimonies. I once met a young man who was discouraged in his faith. I asked him, "What did the Lord do for you yesterday"...

    Galatians 3:8-14

    Gal 3: 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (MY NOTE: 430 yrs (Gal 3:17) BEFORE God gives the Law to Moses. God promises Abraham justification (see KJB dictionary...

    Orthodox Perspective: Is Salvation by faith alone or by works?

    In the 3 minute video Father Spyridon says at the end: "Salvation is a free gift BUT we must work and repent in order to enable ourselves to receive God's grace." That seems like a contradiction, so I'm hoping those who are Orthodox can sort it out for me. A youtube comment talked about...

    What Are Works?

    Works is a broad term. How would you more narrowly define works as far as daily living goes? Is praising and thanking God works? Is praying works? Reading the Bible? Seeking truth? Giving some cash to a homeless person you pass by?

    How To Define Your Ministry

    Once there was a great master who had many servants whose sole purpose in life was to do whatever he asked of them. The master was very orderly in all things and had specific tasks in mind for each servant to accomplish according to his will. Each day, as the master had instructed, the servants...

    Is not the “work of faith” a part of the faith?

    Many try to separate “works” from “faith” and say they are entirely two different things. While it is true that faith can mean a belief. While it is true we do need to be saved by God's grace without the deeds of the Law (or works) by believing, that does not mean faith is simply a belief...

    In principle, if there are more questions than there are works: something is wrong?

    Hi there, So I posted this thread about the difference between faith and works, and I didn't get a single reply - so I thought I would take the tangential subject and clarify - for our sakes, if anyone - how long or far you can ignore the relationship between faith and works: before you get...

    Faith Without Deeds Is Dead!

    James 2:14-19 tells us, "What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical...

    Doing greater deeds than Jesus?

    Hi guys, In John 14:12, Jesus says this: "I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father." (NET) I understand that Him "going to the Father" implies that...

    My buck and a half: if you've confessed your sin, but still doubt your salvation, pray for the lost

    Hi there, So this is a really simple trick, that I thought I might share - I have often struggled with whether I am saved "in the right way". What I learned was, once you have made commitment to take up your cross daily, actually your focus should be - for the most part - centered on Jesus...

    Feeling like I'm idle in my faith

    So I've been struggling with really bad scrupulosity for many years, and it's taken me a long time to recover from it. Throughout my years with scrupulosity, it's caused me to live very legalistically when it came to my faith. It was always "I have to do this" or "It's a sin if I don't do...
