Thank you for this😇

Faith means we trust in God and not our own

I'm surprised this is so minimally viewed when it's so essential to our faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says that grace is the gift not faith. As Got Questions is a Calvinistic ministry, I can see how they believe this but again it’s grace that’s the gift of God. God’s grace is the gift.

— Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

I see faith as having three elements: a promise, power, and willingness. We believe in a God who zealously delivers on the promises He made (Isaiah 9:7).

As for the place of good works in our lives, John says, "We love because He first loved us" (I John 4:19), and, "When we see Him, we will be like Him" (I John 3:2). If God's love for us is so great Jesus died on a cross for our sins, how can we not love Him in return. Anyone who does not have good works has not seen the love of God. Those growing in good works are seeking to know the love of God.

Faith blesses us all, without it we can't please God!

To all my brothers and sisters in Christ:

In my experience this teaching isn't really emphasized many churches today:
"No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God." -1 John 3:9

It's not works that save you, but a kind of faith that will produce works - i.e., obedient faith. John 10 says that the sheep of Jesus know His voice and FOLLOW Him.

Jesus said in John 15 that those who don't abide in Him are cut off as branches ( John 15:2 says these are Christians that were already attached to Jesus "in me [Jesus]"). And that to abide: "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love."

Hebrews 3 makes it clear that the early Israelites could not enter the promise land because of "unbelief" which the chapter describes as disobedience (so obedience to God/Jesus go hand-in-hand with believing).

Remember also, Jesus is both our Savior and our Lord. Lord = master, so when you read passages like: "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. " -Romans 10:9

...there is no contradiction. Lord = master, and if we confess truly that Jesus is our master, we obey our master.

This information today us NOT made clear in every church. Many I have heard say that we can't mention works in relation to salvation, but it's by our works that others know we are walking in faith, James says: "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him" -James 2:14

And finally, we are called to examine ourselves each day to make sure we are walking in the faith. -2 Corinthians 13:5

And of course, our sins from the past, present, and future are forgiven and so too are sins we make mistakenly or out of weakness. However, the Bible says that habitual and unrepentant sinning is not forgiven. Hebrews 10:26-27:
"For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries."


God be with you in this journey - this life is but a testing ground. Jesus is coming soon.

A future topic, Daniel's other friends who refused to bow to the image of Nebuchadnezzar, in later chapters of Daniel they weren't addressed.

The adversary has set the scene by passing science THEORIES such as big-bang theory and theory of evolution as if they are factual while in reality these are IDEAS only and not facts (science). After creating this confusion, the satan will then winnow the wheat.
Having faith means that we believe without proof (no matter what lie is thrown at us) and have patience as God works in the background to restore peace and justice.
Without faith, a Christian can easily abandon his/her belief in God as the satan winnows.

So much depends on interpretation. I just read your answers about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. It contradicts the views and experience of most Christians for most of the past 2000 years, not to mention the Early Fathers, the earliest of whom knew the Apostles. You are presenting one (fundamentalist Protestant) interpretation of Scripture which in fact, is one of many. You are convinced that you are right. I am equally convinced that at least on the issue I looked at, you are sadly very much mistaken. I look forward this week to an intimate experience of God but receiving the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of my Lord and Saviour in Holy Communion. Nothing in it according to you. You couldn’t be further from the truth!
