Nick and Kerwin………I think both of you are bring out truth, Faith is trust in God, and God has given us a Spirit obedience to the commandments, How?, the LORD said “I WILL TAKE OUT OF THEM THE STONY HEART AND GIVE THEM A HEART OF FLESH (soft heart) AND WRITE MY LAW ON THEIR INWARD PARTS AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE AND I SHALL BE THEIR GOD”. Faith is a must it is what brings us to Christ, but even that is given by God, “for he gives unto every man a measure of faith”, some have more then others, but without God creating us right in out hearts, we still would not keep his commandments.
Remember what it says, “it is God who work in us “BOTH” to WILL and do of “HIS” good Pleasure.” We must be Kept by God, remember where it is written, “The LORD Bless you and “KEEP” you, “The LORD make his face shine upon you and give you peace , The LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
Righteousness is a “CREATION” it is not from the SELF. IMO, Therefore Jesus says, “why call “ME” GOOD, there is ONLY ONE that is GOOD and that is GOD.
So Faith is important but true righteous is a creation of GOD who resides in all who have his holy spirit in them. IMO
peace and love to you both………………………….gene
Hi Gene,
God can do that but not in those who do not obediently allow Him to do so.They quench the Spirit.
Hi,
There are two resurrections because there are two options.
Those alive in the Spirit are woken from sleep to face the tribunal of Christ to be chastised or rewarded.
They have already passed over from death to life and do not face the final judgement of men.
The rest face the sheep and goat white throne judgement and it is the last chance,
That judgement is according to how they have treated the Lord’s brothers.
Nick…you mixed up the great white throne judgement when God the Father comes, with the gathering of the nations when Jesus returns, a thousand years difference.
Peace and love to you and yours. …..gene
Hi Gene,
Those who are not awakened in the first resurrection remain in the earth for 1000 more years.
Then they are called from Hades or Death to stand before the Judge.
Then Death and Hades are cast into the lake of fire.
Nick….that’s true, brother. There is a first resurection that takes place at the return of Jesus and another resurection at the end of the thousand year reign of Jesus and those resurected in the first resurection, the Saint’s.
Peace and love to you and yours. ……….gene
