Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone

Faith, if it has not works, is dead. James 2:17
REALLY? Does one need to “work” (keep the law) to keep faith? Can you lose your salvation?

Rom. 4:5, But to him who does not work but BELIEVES on Him who justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is accounted for righteousness.
Are these verses a dichotomy or a misunderstanding? I have come to learn that these verses, although ripe for conflict, are a misunderstanding produced and nurtured by the fact that people cannot separate the Word to believing Jews of the Kingdom, from the Word to the “called-out” Body of Christ. Many people don’t even know the difference in what I just said. STUDY!!! 

Eph. 2:8-9, For it is by GRACE you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the GIFT of God, NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast.

Rom. 6:23, For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Do you work for a “gift” ...or do you work for wages?

Rom. 3:28, For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

Acts 16:31, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.

1 Cor. 1:18, For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Lots of foolishness in the world, but the Power of God is in the Church... the Body of Christ.

Jesus did not die for our American dream.

Jesus did not die to be the poster boy for your cause.

Jesus did not die so we could create our own little social/political kingdoms.

Jesus did not die so you wouldn't have to change.

Jesus did not die to merely raise our moral standard.

Don’t READ the Bible... STUDY it!!!
