There is a work out there that is speaking in the name of the LORD (Jm 5:10); This work is enduring persecutions, and afflictions because it has been given patience from the Lord to show mercy, and be compassionate (Jm 5:11).
Believers who are doing any other kind of work (than this work which endures through much longsuffering patience because of God’s mercy) fall into condemnation (Jm5:12), because (sincere) love speaks the truth (Eph 4:15) which reveals the grace of God at work ( Col 1:6).
Believers who have been given sincere love can rejoice in the truth (of God working in their lives) and not in some other iniquity (which is self-motivated) (1Cor 13:6). We know NOTHING about (sincere) love unless we understand that love edifies (with the truth that reveals the grace of God at work) (1Cor 8:1-2).
This is also known as the GOOD communication which edifies those who hear because it ministers (the) grace of God at work (Eph 4:29). Many so-called believers don’t have THIS good communication of the grace of God, because they have NOT received the minister that God sent to them to impart THIS spiritual gift (of grace in all of its teaching) so that they would be established in the faith in process of time, within all comfort so that they would not be ignorant of the gospel of Christ, AND the need for the power of God (the Father) to work salvation into those who believe (Eph 4:29, Rom 1:10-13, and 16).
Therefore believers who are not into receiving the minister sent unto them (rather than them choosing their own pastor) by the will of God, cannot learn grace so that they could have obedience to the faith, AND because of THIS, they grieve the Holy Spirit! (Rom1:10, 1;5, Eph 4:30). This is why only the just can live by His faith because these have had the righteousness of God revealed unto them from (their) faith so that they could learn how to attain the faith (of Christ) (Rom 1:17, Hab 2:4, Gal 2:20).
Do you understand what the gift of the grace of God is? If so, then you know that we are MADE into ministers (who have the good communication because they speak about the grace of God) by the POWER of God effectually working presently (Eph 3:7).
This is why it is said that we have to receive grace, so that we can become obedient to the faith (Rom 1:5); Without which SIN still has dominion over us, because we are not under grace (Rom 6:14); Rather humbly ASK God to help you receive the doctrine of grace, (because you won’t do it, and you can’t do it, that is why you need to ask God to make you do it) all of this is so that we would be able to continue in this doctrine by giving ourselves wholly to it through meditating upon it daily (through the power of God) and in doing THIS, we shall be saved, and those who hear us (Rom 1:5, 1Tim 4:15-16).
This is why I continue to put you in remembrance of these things, so that you would be nourished up in the words of faith, and good doctrine so that you can become an example to other believers (who are ignorant of these things) in the word, in conversation, in purity, and in love (1Tim 4:6, and 12).
Those who are given the grace of God boldly write down these things, which pertain to the work of God, so that others might experience obedience, by the word and in deeds by the humble asking of God through the power of the Spirit (Rom 15:15, 18-19).
Ztheberean………..Amen , for by Grace are we Saved and that not of ourselves, it is indeed a gift of GOD.
love and peace to you and yours……………………….gene
Hi Jodi,

“We must believe in something simply because it is written? I believe in the bible BECAUSE what is written makes sense, NOT because I am an ignorant fool who will believe in something just because someone else confesses the bible is the Word of a god. I have found through my life, through thinking, observing and learning that the bible is true, that the words are truth and life. “Certainly scripture is beautiful and satisfying intellectually.
But our God speaks to us through it.
Is this what faith is to you?
