Subject: A work of God's Free Grace |
Bible Note: It is not that I don't care for educated people or what they say, think or do. I don't care for people that deny the Holy Spirit and try to use their education in an attempt to fill that void in their lives. I think I understand clearly what James is saying. He is saying faith causes works, without works there is no faith only lip service. Too many believe all they have to do to be saved is to declare their belief in Christ. That they don't have to live that belief just say they have it. That is why there is so little commitment in the church to the church and Christianity today. As MacArthur calls it easy believism. I can be saved by grace and never lift a finger to save a sinner and I'm assured of my salvation. That is what I am against. |
