The only name whereby one can be saved .
And all who call upon the LORD shall be saved .
It is the glorious good news and let it remain upon the hearts of the peoples .
For we are made partakers of Him , IF we hold the confidence from the beginning unto the end . Let us examine
what true faith is .
First one must confess Him by mouth and believe that God has raised Him from the dead . So lets rule inclusion OUT .
Our faith hope and trust must be in HE alone as our savoir .
But is it possible to name Him and yet have dead faith . Yes .
First we see where GOD said , more than once , this people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me .
We see what paul tells titus . They claim to KNOW HIM but in works deny him , being abominable and reprobate unto every good work .
Then we see what paul tells timothy . If one provides not for his own , specially for those of his own household , then he has Denied the Faith and is worse even than an infidel .
And we see a warning that the first faith , the faith we had at first , some had already cast off and turned aside after satan .
We see a warning to the same church , later , in revelation that it had cast off its first faith .
We also see a warning from james explaining how if one has true faith it would produce works . And that faith without works is dead . its not real faith .
For the fruit of the Spirit , and those who are Christs have the SPIRIT , is in all goodness , righteousness and Truth , proving what is Acceptable unto GOD .
We see where JESUS said to those who believed , IF you continue in me , you shall KNOW the TRUTH and the truth shall make you free .
And that if one continues not in HIM , they are cast out .
We see where they continously stirred one another up to do good , to examine oneself . to die daily . To Follow Christ . To endure faithful to the end .
Thus we ought to remind and stir one another up with these same reminders .
Without faith it is impossible to please GOD . And its by faith , by grace , faith in JESUS CHRIST and HIS sacrfice alone that justifies us .
So let us grow in grace , let us be built up and exhort daily . Let us be reading our bibles and learning .
All who are HIS , LOVE HIM . For the HOLY GHOST is given to all who do believe in HIM . And the HOLY GHOST puts the love for Christ upon our hearts .
Our love is seen by our obediance unto HIM . And this is the proof of our love . AS JESUS himself said , If a man LOVES ME HE KEEPS my sayings .
And he who hates me keeps not my sayings .
So even as paul reminded timothy to STIR up the gift he had been given . We must remind and stir one another up , by way of remembrance , by pointing to JESUS , by sound bible doctrine .
By the Spirit . This is a war my friends . And the devil is indeed taking many captive . We must resist the devil , BY FAITH , And cling to the KING and all doctrine HE did inspire .
For all things written ,they are for us to learn , and that we do not lust after and do the evil things they did . Let us , BY the SPIRIT keep ourselves un spotted from the world .
True faith , true religion is , that we visit the fatherless , widows , and that we keep ourselves unspotted from the world . keep those garments white . HEED THE SPIRIT and not the flesh .
JESUS will be with the lambs , and HE does work within us that which is well pleasing to GOD by the SPIRIT . we must HEED the SPIRIT and not the flesh .
Everyone will be salted with fire , and every sacrifice salted with salt . And salt is GOOD , but if the salt has lost its flavor , wherewith will ye season it ......
have salt in yourselves , and have peace one with another .
Correct quickly any who does err , pulling them out of the fire , hating even the garment that was spotted by the flesh , save some with compassion , others with fear .
But do NOT ever let a lamb wander and do nothing . If we see anyone who does err , from the depths of our heart must we do all to set them straight , to restore them .
And if they do not heed the correction we must do as JESUS said to do FOR IT IS the only pattern that does work . Paul did it . he had one cast out
that destruction of the flesh could be done . And later that person did sorrow to repentance . For godly sorrow leads to repentance .
We must look out one for another . encouraging one another to remain faithful to THE LORD to the end . to exhort all sound doctrine .
A lamb or a church left to its own and not corrected will fill with inquity and it will be destroyed .
And paul knew that . Paul knew something else too . If we see one in error , yet we hug and just try and get along and do nothing we are responsible .
We must point to JESUS , and by pointing to HIM , that means ALL THINGS he did say .
And all who call upon the LORD shall be saved .
