Our sins, are we responsible for ~our~ actions? I heard a preacher saying that when he realized that no matter what he did he was not held accountable for it, he could relax and just live ~his~ life, Because Jesus had already paid for all our sins… Maybe I don’t understand anything too well, but that IS NOT What I read in God’s Written Word, THE BIBLE…. Come on folks Read IT and clear this thought up for me….. In Revelations, 2 & 3 Jesus said 8 times, “I know thy ~works~. And our works is our actions are they not?
(Revelation 3:15)… *I KNOW THY WORKS*, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot….
And where we are not ~Saved~ by our works, God gave us specific instructions of what our works ~Must~ reflect… AS Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son Stated more than once.
(Matthew 5:16) .. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your ~good works~, AND ~Glorify~ your Father which is in heaven.”
(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…. And in Thy Name, have we not done ~many wonderful works~? Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.. Therefore whosoever *heareth* these sayings of Mine, AND *doeth* them, I Will liken him unto a wise man…
(Ephesians 2:10)… For ~we~ are HIS (God The Father’s) “workmanship,” “created” IN Christ Jesus, unto *Good Works*, which God ~before~ ordained that we should walk in them…
Some folks read this to mean that IT IS we, which are preordained, and thus we cannot fail in our walk, no matter where we step.. BUT, from what I read IT IS THE Good Works OF Christ Jesus that IS preordained, and we being created in Christ Jesus, should walk in them… Else, Why, would Jesus warn us of the ~TWO~ Paths, the strait and narrow, which leads unto life and the wide and spacious, which leads unto destruction?
(Galatians 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…..
(Titus 1:16)…They ~profess that they ~Know~ God; BUT *IN Works* they deny HIM, Being Abominable, AND Disobedient, and unto ~every Good work~ reprobate…
Do these verses not make IT very clear that IF we claim Christ, as many Church workers, pastors, and every person which claims a walk in Christ, we must have and show a work, which IS rooted IN Christ, not in the world, and IF our walk proves to be seated in the ways of the world, then our work IS vanity, and we are reprobate, and abominable to THE LORD.
(Ephesians 5:11) … Have ~NO~ fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them…. (Speak up and let it be known that the works of darkness are ~Wrong~.)
IF you have cut and painted your body with tattoo’s of the world, Why Did you Do IT? Because you thought it was something that would show your ~good works~, or because you, like so many are followers of worldly fads? Either way IT IS Still an abomination to the LORD, AS IT IS Written….
(Romans 13:12) The night IS far spent, the day IS AT hand: let us therefore cast off the ~works of darkness~ and let us put on the *Armor of Light*.
Even in Moses day God gave us a measure by which we may live in HIS Will… As IT IS written.
(Exodus 20:20)…Moses said unto the people, “Fear Not: FOR God IS come to ~Prove~ you, *And that HIS fear may be before your daces, that ye sin not*. AND!
(Proverbs 8:13).. The *fear* of THE LORD ~IS~ to hate evil: pride, and arrogance..
How much ~pride~ is shown off in tattoos, painted hair, gruesome face paints. Ect.?
(Proverbs 9:10)… The *Fear* of THE LORD, IS the beginning of ~wisdom~: and the ~knowledge~ of ~the holy understanding…
What does a healthful fear of THE LORD, offer us today? We pray to THE LORD to save us, make us well, help us to live here on this earth just a little longer by overcoming cancer and other sickness, don’t we? ARE we willing to submit our lives to God and do the works which HE has set forth for us to so, that we may live a longer, richer, life here on this earth?
(Proverbs 10:27)… The *Fear* of THE LORD ~prolongeth~ days: BUT the years of the wicked shall be shortened…
(Proverbs 14:26-27)… In the *Fear* of THE LORD IS ~strong confidence: and HIS children shall have a place of refuge… The *Fear* of THE LORD IS a ~fountain of life~, to depart from the snares of death….
So many ~Promises~ of THE LORD, IF, we the people Will only submit to HIS Will and walk IN HIS Way… Do we Believe Strong Enough, and Want Bad Enough these Promises that God gave, to ~Obey~? To put our ~Rebellious ways~ aside…Get down on our knees and pray the repentant prayer of a humble believer for forgiveness, then rise up to do the ~Good~ works which the LORD foreordained that we should do?
(John 6: 28b-29) What shall we do, that we might ~work~ the ~works~ of God? Jesus answered and said unto them. “This IS the *WORK* of God, That ~ye Believe~ on Him whom HE hath ~Sent~”.
Now *IF* we ~Believe ON Him~ (Which IS Jesus), whom HE (JEHOVAH God THE FATHER), hath sent… then that IS A Work, but we must continue That Belief on into ~The Actions of This Life~.. In other words we must, walk the walk as well as talk the talk… Right?
(II Corinthians 13:5)… Examine yourselves, whether ye be ~In The Faith; *Prove* your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
(Romans 12:2)… Be Not ~conformed~ to this world: BUT be ye ~Transformed~ By the ~renewing~ of your mind, that ye may *Prove* what IS That Good, And Acceptable, and Perfect Will OF God…
Therefore IT IS our ~Responsibility ~ TO *Prove* our works and how do
we do that?
(Proverbs 16:3) Commit they works unto THE LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
(James 2:17).. Even so *Faith*, IF IT Hath NOT *Works*, IS dead, being alone…
(I John 5:17)… *ALL* ~Unrighteousness~ IS *sin*:
(James 4:17).. Therefore to him that knoweth to ~ DO Good~, and doeth IT Not, to him it is sin..
(Romans 6:15) What then? Shall we sin. Because we are not under the law, but under ~Grace~? God Forbid!
