Subject: What exactly must a person to be saved? |
Bible Note: Hi inhisname... Again, clarify works.. Abraham BY FAITH in what God told him, leave this country because I have another for you and want to make you the father of that nation... Abraham Left because he had faith in what God said. Abraham's through faith LEFT the land of his father to go to the new land promised. God produced the manifestation of the promise..Issac which led ultimately to Jesus... Faith acts in obedience and God produces the result. Some here are calling Abraham's 'Leaving' a work and some are calling God's manifestation a work. By faith in God's word, Noah built the ark. First Noah believed, then he obeyed, then God produced the promise. When we hear God's Word and it (the Word) is mixed with faith...obedience that follows enables God to fulfill the promise. Had Noah said 'Yes God, I believe you are going to destroy the earth and I am told to build this ark so me and my family will be saved, but I believe you will save us even if I do not build this ark...they would have died. God's way in the earth is through planting the seeds of His Word, and we receive this Word and act accordingly by faith, He will produce the promised results. But not until faith acts according to the Word. Again faith without works is dead. Obedience by faith is the avenue God chose to bless His people. We believe, we act, God produces the result promised. God bless |
