"salvation through faith"


 


In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 
These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.  -- 1Peter 1:6-7, NIV



Therefore I love Your commandments
         More than gold, yes, than fine gold!  -- Psalms 119:127, NKJV


The law of Your mouth is better to me
         Than thousands of coins of gold and silver. -- Psalms 119:72, NKJV


....The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
  More to be desired are they than gold,
         Yea, than much fine gold; ....   -- Ps. 19: 9-10, NKJV


strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.....to enter the kingdom of God,” (Mk. 12: 29-34)  they said.   --- Acts 14:22, NIV

...so that we may be JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ
and NOT by the Works of the Law;...

having become a curse for us...
so that we (believers) would receive the PROMISE of the (God the Holy) Spirit through FAITH.(in Jesus)

Man can do nothing of spiritual value in the eyes of TRI-UNE GOD unless he is first spiritually born again from above.

You rebuke the arrogant, accursed people
    who stray from your commandments (1Cor. 7:19/ 1Jn 2:3-4).    - Psalm 119:21, Common English Bible (CEB)


 


You discard everyone who strays from your statutes (Acts 2:1/ 1Cor. 5:7-8)

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—   by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.


Grace be with you. Amen.     – 1Timothy 6:20-21, NKJV

I was drawn to and saved by God the Holy Spirit. My spirit accepted the free gift of Grace through Spirit-Led FAITH / BELIEF. After salvation, Christ-followers are guided and comforted, they are led to maturity...trust, obey, walk in faith, follow, etc. And nothing can separate Jesus' sheep from their Shepherd, their Bread of Life, Light of the World, their " I AM ". NOT apostasy, falling away. growing cold. Believer's works are judged, but their spirits are saved from judgment into eternal life and spiritual security.

PAUL:  So God does what he wants to do. He shows mercy to one person and makes another stubborn.    --



Romans 9:18,  New International Reader's Version (NIRV)


 


Don’t be stubborn. Don’t be as your people were. Obey the Lord. Come to the temple. He has set it apart to himself forever. Serve the Lord your God. Then he’ll turn his burning anger away from you ... He won’t turn away from you if you return to him (1Peter 2:25) ... But the people made fun of them. They laughed at them.  In spite of that, some men from Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun made themselves low in the Lord’s sight. They went to Jerusalem ... A very large crowd of people gathered together in Jerusalem. They went there to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread (1Cor. 5:7-8) ...



2 Chronicles 30:8-13


New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

To fear the Lord is to hate evil; ...     - Proverbs 8:13, NIV
