That being said, the scriptures say that our faith without works is dead James 2:14-36 and in Matthew 7:21 it says that "He that doeth the will of my Father shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" .. so we should try not to cuss ?
I fully understand that argument.
What did Jesus say was the work of God in John 6:29?
The lie of the devil is that we can do anything apart from the cross. I'm sorry to be that blunt, but that is a trap that is set for the believer. Focus on the first part (God's love and redeeming sacrifice for us) as Mary did in the story of Mary and Martha, and the works of God will flow forth. It will be natural, like breathing. Focus on the works (which is focus on self), and the devil wins. Focus on Christ, God wins. It took the cross to save us, and it takes the cross for everything else. There's a reason why Paul said he can do all things through Christ. He stopped working in his own strength. Anything else is a lie that has been taught for generations.
Love your words and your spirit, G45colt. Thanks for sharing them
Thanks. I appreciate your taking time to consider the point I'm trying to make.
Many moons ago, I was reading an article about performance driving school (kind of wanted to do it myself) and one of the first points the instructors of the school makes is focus on the track, and you'll stay on the track. As soon as you focus on the weeds, that's where you will end up. They weren't saying you'll never end up off the track, but your best chance of staying on the track was to keep your focus on the track. Later I realized that also applies to the Christian life. Christ is the track, the weeds represent everything else.
