ARE WE SAVED BY GRACE OR BY FAITH? - EPH 2:8-9 - ONE OF THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD VERSES IN THE BIBLE

Показать описание
In this video, I'm going to look at one of the most misused, misquoted, and misunderstood verses in the entire Bible - Ephesians 2:8-9 and 10. Satan is a liar and it's just clear how he is misusing Scriptures to deceive people. And those who are deceived are now going around deceiving other people, making them believe that baptism is works, repentance is works, and that "we are not saved by works but by grace and grace alone."

No, you are not saved by grace! No one is saved by grace! The Bible never says that we are saved by grace! If you believe that Ephesians 2:8-9 is saying that, then you have also been deceived.

See this video, and understand what the Scripture is really saying. If you want to dig more down into the Scriptures, I will put some Scriptures in here and some links.

I encourage you to see our new series called FIGHTING FOR THE TRUE GOSPEL. You can find the playlist and the teaching here:

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Faith Without Works Is Dead
Jas 2:14  What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jas 2:15  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16  And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Jas 2:19  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Jas 2:20  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Jas 2:21  Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Jas 2:22  Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Col 2:11  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SEE AND READ!

It's so easy today to sit behind a computer and be an expert and know everything, but without any good fruit in your life. We all need to be aware of this, because there are many videos and comments out there from people who are only there to create division. They lack the Holy Spirit, and if you were to meet them in real life you would see who they really are, and you would never listen to them or follow their advice.

Instead of listening to every comment and taking every video as the truth, take your Bible and check it for yourself! That is always the way to go, even with our videos! The Word of God is our final authority - not our traditions or what we grew up in - but the Word! And just because we may teach something you haven’t heard before, and you may see something you haven’t seen before, it doesn’t mean it's wrong. It always comes down to the Word, not our experience or traditions!

Divisive comments will be deleted. Serious comments are very welcome, and please quote the Bible as often as you can!

Thank you!

Grace has been abused, assumed or misused. May God give us the revelation of His Son's grace. Fear of the Lord is the starting point to put us back on faith track.

It's God's grace which calls us to repentance. Stubborn hearts resist at their own peril. 😥
Thank you, Torben.

Amen, Torben. I have seen that scripture misused my whole life and sadly there is no freedom or transformation in their lives. Thank you for sharing this. :)

One of the best teachings of FAITH, GRACE AND Works, that I have ever met.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, NO HEAVEN WITHOUT REPENTANCE, SEEKING HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DEPARTING FROM EVIL.

GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST

In the greek the word for saving faith is pisteou which a present tense action verb. Saving faith means action! We take action when we call on Jesus and obey Him and Gods word! The seatbelt illustration is a great one Torben. Thanks for the vid be blessed!

If you love ME said Jesus, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. We must have FAITH in Jesus to love Him and obey Him. He told us to repent and turn away from sin by keeping His Commandments. Faith without works is dead. MARANATHA

Absolutely true. True faith brings true works. Faith without works is dead. Repentance, baptisme, obedience cannot be dissociated from salvation.

Any true believer wants to be baptized. Any true believer doesn't need this explained to them. Those who have ears to hear, let him hear.

Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

Grace teaches us to live Holy

Grace was God's part to do(which He has fulfilled in Jesus Christ), BUT!!! FAITH is our part (it is not a work; it is a positive response for acceptance to what God made for us in Jesus).
Titus 2:11 says also that God's grace showed for al people, BUT again I say: U need to positively accept this and to confess your belief with your mouth otherwise you won't enter in God's rest like it is written in Hebrew 4. God bless you all who read this message 🙏.

Very good message. I'd say you can see if the person is saved from the fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Godness, Fsithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control. There needs to be a transformation seen on a person.

Thanks Torben… people need to wake up spiritually and stop slumbering in the comfort of their lies.
We are saved by faith, which is surrendering our lives to Jesus Christ… and doing what he tells us to do… short of that and you get wailing and gnashing of teeth.
