ОтветитьHOW TO BE SAVED
Trust Christ Alone
1. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. He was buried and rose again. He did this to give you the gift of eternal life.
2. We are saved by grace alone, Through faith alone in Christ alone without any works!
3. Once you’ve trusted Christ alone you are eternally secure
4. One saved always saved!
Romans 3:22 KJV
“even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference”
Romans 3:28 KJV
“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law”.
Romans 6:23 KJV
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.
John 3:36 KJV
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Tell me the works of the man who died next to Jesus on the cross
ОтветитьYou can’t say grace is a free gift and then say you must do this work to get it - that’s a contradiction.
James 2 is written to born again believers and the context is profitability. If I get saved and then go home and wait to die, my faith profits nobody but myself. God will lovingly discipline me for that (as described in Hebrews 12:6) but he won’t send his child to hell.
“To him who worketh not but believeth on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
Romans 4:5
The orthodox church is branched from roman catholic church . Yhe true body of chrisr.
ОтветитьYes works are from our faith. But we have to cooperate with christ. The beatitudes jesus tells us and our commandments how to live. That is works.
ОтветитьThat sounds very Catholic.
ОтветитьYou might wanna read Galatians.
“6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!”
Are you Protestant?

ОтветитьSalvation comes through grace of God as a gift through faith alone.
Good works is something that should naturally come through faith. So its important. But faith alone grants salavation.
True
ОтветитьO pastor why don't you study Islam, O pastor my heart aches to hear your words so close to truth and yet...
ОтветитьI'm specifically posting this prior to watching this video. It is my belief that TRUE faith will always manifest in the works of the faithful. Works always follows faith, if you truly believe in Christ, then you would follow His charge to St. Peter, "feed my sheep." But it is NOT the works that builds salvation but faithfulness and diligence.
ОтветитьFaith is NOT a checkbox like "yeah I believe in Jesus."
Remember, if you love Him you OBEY His commandments and gospels.
So it is an "active faith."
Also remember the parable of a rich young man? asking how to go to Heaven? then Jesus enumerated most of the Commandments?
So it is not a check box that by believing you are saved.
👍
James was addressing jews. Read the firsr verses of the book of james. Its not to the body of christ. Jews are not part of the body of christ
ОтветитьWorks come through faith Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me you go to Jesus to gain works!
ОтветитьThen if we do not work 7sacrement and baptized then we can also be saved? I know Orthodox salvation view is similar as Catholic.
ОтветитьEph 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saued, through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God: Not of workes, lest any man should boast."
ОтветитьI been having some doubts about my walk with the Lord and wether im not following the right path because Im not a true Orthodox, I was born one but I go to a baptist church,I call myself a follower of Christ because i dont like dividing the churches. I have a question though. This is what i basically got from the video, your saved by faith alone, but in order to prove you are, s by doing works, its like a relationship, You love God, so you prove it to him by going to church, reading the Word, and such. right? So the way to get to heaven is faith in Christ and to confess he is Lord, but that has a deeper meaning, because if you truly do confess He is Lord, then you would be changed, you would repent, not love sin, and such correct?
ОтветитьThe simple reality is we are always working for someone. No one truly does nothing. Even sluggards make the choice, or work, at nothing. You can work the ways of God or the ways of Satan. Your faith, your beliefs, your source of hope—-will determine which kingdom you are laying the bricks of the temple for. It is not that faith doesn’t save, it’s that faith determines which works you will be in.
ОтветитьLutheran here, I am with you on this one, and I do beliebe at least the LCMS and WELS professes the same
ОтветитьFaith alone. If you add anything to grace then you are cutoff from Christ. Gal 5 Heresy.
James 2 context is saying he will show his faith by his works. Not to God but to man.
this is incoherent. we must work to receive God's grace?
ОтветитьFaith cannot develop if there is no detachment from the world, the world that we see ( our opinion on the world ) so we must deny ourselves and follow christ and become cruscified and surrender to GOD and enter GODs rest ( sabath ) so we cant become like a tree , God gives us and we give others freely
ОтветитьWhat a beautiful explaination.
Ответитьvery pelagian of you
ОтветитьBut to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 4:5
What view does the Orthodox have on the Gospel of Thomas?
As I see it, there is the faith that there is a way beyond material existence, the work of virtue/conscience+concentration/meditation/prayer, and the grace of the ripening process.
Thank you father
ОтветитьGod Bless you Father!!!
ОтветитьSola Scriptura is a Protestant concoction
If it were authentic, Why was it unheard of until After The Reformation??
It's Eastern Orthodox Not Catholic
ever heard of the great schism..1054 AD?
What came First..
The Bible or the Church?
Ephesians 2:8-9. If the church disagrees with the Bible, the church is wrong. No exceptions.
ОтветитьSin is spiritual harlotry.
Sin can open doors that can't be closed. Some of the repercussions of sin over time are coldness or lukewarmness towards God, spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness, spiritual drunkedness, spiritual deception, spiritual darkness, bondage, demonic oppression or possession, perversion, addiction, idolotry, depression, anger, emptiness, desperation, denial, stunted spiritual growth, weak moral compass, lack of wisdom, lack of control, lack of contentment, resentment of truth, apostasy, a hardened heart, a loss of conscience, depravity, and enmity with God.
If there was an orthodox church near my home I would start attending. I'm Presbyterian but over the last 4 years or so I've felt myself drawn to Orthodoxy because it's the only legitimate continuation of the original church. I've learned an awful lot of the history of the orthodox church
ОтветитьI like the Orthodox interpretation of this.
We are saved by faith alone but your faith should lead you to do good works.
Catholics have some views I dont like at all I'm afraid. Like purgatory
Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Why do you call yourself “father?”
ОтветитьBiblically, Christians are once justified, always justified.... We do not earn this Justification. God is changing his flock daily. I know what Jesus did for me. I do good work, because of what Jesus did for me. I don't do it, because it will save me. The finished work of Christ has saved me already. Period.
Ответитьbelieving the gospel to be saved, do you believe, that because jesus christ died personal for you sins on the cross, was buried and rose again, that this has saved you ?
ОтветитьThat demons believe that God is One is intellectual based not faith/trust based. Satan and his demons don't trust in Christ for salvation. So the term believe is brought forward here without any nuance about the true meaning. Name one fallen angel that trusts in Christ for salvation by faith, there aren't any. To anyone doubting salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone, the answer lays in Hebrews 3:14-19 and Hebrews 4:1-10. Eastern orthodox churches believe in faith + works = salvation which Hebrews 4:1-10 shows is not the truth. They haven't entered God's rest. All those who believe in Christ alone for salvation did enter into the rest in Christ that God promised because those who believe have rested from their works just as God rested from His. Amazing grace how sweet thy sound!
Hebrews 4:10
For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Eastern Orthodoxy make the serious error of mixing justification and sanctification.
God bless.
Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria.
