If you deny that God only accepts faith, as you doing ?????????, then you are in contradiction against the Gospel that teaches that faith alone is counted as righteousness. "justification by faith".
There is NO OTHER WAY to be accepted by God, then for you to BELIEVE.
God requires this so that by this Faith, God gives you Salvation, that is the GIFT Of God that is given to all who believe.
Belief is ONE thing. Lots of people Believe.
And “IF” they can manage to “BELIEVE” to the Day they DIE...
***** THEY SHALL BE SAVED *****
It’s the “managing” to continue Believing to the Day they DIE.
**WARNINGS galore***
* everyone in this world is Subject to:
* Wicked conniving men!
* Evil roaming spirits!
DC continually broadcasts, wags their finger at Foreign Nations...
OF HOW WICKED, HOW corrupt, HOW oppressive, other Nations governance OVER the people is.
WHILE...
DC continually, DOES the same. However they wear their “corruption” as a Badge of Honor, “oppressing the people for the good, peace, safety and equality of all people” LOL, pfff.
Faith....is Gods gift to any man FOR HEARING the WORD of God.
Belief...is the mans FREEWILL, to Believe what he HEARS, or not.
A man freely choosing to BELIEVE Gods Word...IS A MANS “
WORKS”.
A man WHO (despite the wicked men of the world and roaming evil spirits....consistently trying to SWAY THAT MAN AWAY from BELIEVING), IS that mans CONSTANT battle...
* BE SWAYED.....OR continue BELIEVING....and FACE the NEGATIVE Consequences...
(We are in sneak preview days...
Don’t trust, believe, go along with WICKED oppressive governing men, and WHAT? What is their “persecutions”? Fear mongering 24-7, Lose your job? Lose your home, because you have lost your job? Families argue over Losses? Turmoil within the families? Families split? Have a little money to buy? Oops Goods not available. The snowball effect is happening NOW, world wide.)
HOW LONG, of BEING daily bombarded with wicked men’s OPPRESSIVE Tactics, will it Take....BEFORE the man WILL “STOP doing the WORKS of God...TO BELIEVE IN HIM...
* And instead jump on board,
believing IN MEN, to keep them safe, to keep them healthy, to keep peace, keep them housed and fed...by doling out scraps (they have stolen from others)?
Oh, Oh....yeah, yeah...the governing authorities, “the Saviors”... letting a man keep his home, pay him to not work, feed his family, paying them to tattle on others having family gatherings, going to church gatherings, freebie poison injections, busy themselves making more crisis’ and wars, more prohibitions, need for your sons to war DIE to keep your meager freebie life feeling so thankful for their new master daddy, caretaker and “savior”, which that man trusts, exalts, yields to and supports with his YES at the ballot box...yes, yes, yes...Freebies for everyone...
Well getting to the POINT...
BELIEF can wiggle and vary and CHANGE.
Either God IS your SAVIOR, FOREVER, or Man IS your SAVIOR “until” they run out of other people’s money TO DOLE out Freebie Scraps...
OR...their wars, injected poisons, have ended your life.
I covered the Gift of Faith FOR Hearing.
I covered the FREEWILL of man TO Believe.
I covered the man FREELY Believing is a mans WORKS...
I covered men Electing to choose men to Save their flesh bodily life.
What I did not cover, WAS...men ELECTING God to SAVE the WHOLE of a man...body, soul, spirit.
Faith, is a gift FROM God.
Works, is a mans FREEWILL to believe Gods Word or not.
* ELECTING God, is a mans FREEWILL to...”COMMIT” TO God.
Give their Complete ONCE and FOREVER “YES” vote (so to speak),
OF the Lord God.
It’s a ONE TIME trip for a man to GO to the ELECTION Ballot box (so to speak)...
It requires NO “paperwork”, NO “signature”.
There is NO “oops”, changed my mind.
There is NO “repetitive” next year, in four years, blah, blah, ELECTION.
It is a ONE TIME...”SERVICE” of ONE individual man, Making his own FREE ELECTION of the Lord God.
The fact is; Many men hear, receive faith, believe what they hear...
BUT NEVER FREELY CHOOSE (so to speak) ‘TO go to the ballot box and cast their ONE TIME ELECTION” of the Lord God.
Any man WHO believes, yet FAILS to FREELY MAKE their one time election of God.......ARE VULNERABLE, to the conniving tricks of wicked men and evil spirits OF the world.
IF...and that is a big
IF a man manages to Believe AND keep believing until the DAY he DIES...THEN he WILL Become, by the Power of God...MADE SAV-eD.
SEE, the Requirement, to RECEIVE, Salvation?
A BODILY “DEATH”!!!
Now, turn your thoughts to the guy, WHO DOES, make that ONE TIME trip TO the (so to speak) Ballot Box...NAME His Lord God, Cast His ONE time ELECTION FOR his Lord God.
THEN WHAT? WHAT Happens IMMEDIATELY?
His sins for NOT having Believed, from his natural birth, and any time during his natural life-time...ARE FORGIVEN.
AND..AND..AND...the most important part???
.....CRUCIFIXION...!! BODILY DEATH of THAT man!!!
The REQUIREMENT of a BODILY DEATH, BeFORE receiving SALVATION, IS Satisfied, Accomplished.....According to Gods Order, Will, Way!
That man Accomplished the “enduring IF’, the Keep IN Belief, TO the DAY of his Bodily Death...AND THUS is Immediately
SAV-ED.
Doesn’t matter...
* a man crucified WITH Jesus...
* a man believing until his body physically dies...
^ That is the crux of OSAS.
A man crucified with Jesus, A man believing to the day he physically dies.........NEITHER.......come back into their dead body’s so they can change their ELECTION!!!
The ballot (so to speak) Election was freely made by that man.
The bodily crucifixion was freely given by that man.
..IS God a LIAR, that He does not Faithfully KEEP His Word? God forbid!
ONCE a man IS saved.....IT IS FOREVER!
Believing Does NOT SAVE a man......ELECTION of KEEPING that Belief, saves a man.
