I would really love to know why #Christian churches in the United States love to go on their fancy missions trips to tell themselves they are doing good works, meanwhile there are countless people that are lost and unsaved in the very city that their church operates in. This concept has never seemed genuine to me.
But want to know the worst part? Most of these churches that do this do not even understand grace nor the message of salvation. They adhere to Calvinistic & Lordship Salvation teaching. Telling people to invite Jesus into your heart; give your life to Jesus; say a Sinner’s prayer; or ‘accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior’ are found absolutely nowhere in scripture, NOWHERE. Why isn’t what Jesus said to Martha enough?
Is not the Gospel of John’s very purpose to tell unbelievers how they are to be born again? Did Jesus not say on countless occasions that we are to believe in Him for eternal life? Has the Lord not revealed to us in John 20:31 that the entirety of John’s gospel was written so that we may come to know that we may have life by believing in Christ?
There is not even a political nor social issue that infuriates me more than the heretical views many people have (and TEACH) on soteriology. Yes #Bitcoin is important for this life, but it is absolutely meaningless if we do not have Christ as the foundation of our lives before we use tools like Nostr and Bitcoin to create a more just and purpose-driven Christ-centered world.
For it has been stated clearly — “And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.” (Romans 11:6) It can ONLY be one or the other, and it is certainly not of works.
It is God’s very grace that saves us THROUGH our faith. Faith is the instrument we use to obtain the salvation that God has freely made available to every single human being.
John 6:47 — Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
This is present possession. We are believing in Jesus FOR the eternal life that he promises. (see 1 Timothy 1:16). The moment we believe in Jesus, you HAVE (present possession) eternal life, permanently, and will not come into judgment.
How glorious is the Lord, for He sustains us always, and His name shall be praised for the rest of our days. #faith #bible
