Sinners Saved By Grace

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV)

I often hear it said that people who claim to be believers in Jesus Christ, that they are presently “Sinners saved by grace.” But is that biblically correct? No, it isn’t. Why? Because “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were sinners” (past tense), “Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). And, for “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matthew 9:13), indicating a difference between the righteous and sinners. They are not one and the same. For a sinner is one who sins, in practice, like a runner runs.

But does that mean that a believer in Jesus will never sin again? No, it doesn’t (1 John 2:1-2), which we have evidence of in the New Testament Scriptures. So this is not saying that we will never sin again, but it does teach us in the Scriptures that the genuinely saved, by the grace of God, are those for whom sin is no longer their practice, but now righteousness and holy living, by the grace of God, and obedience to our Lord’s commands, in the power of God, should be the practice of the one who believes in Christ.

Example: I used to cut people’s hair a long time ago, but I no longer cut hair. So, I will not claim to be a haircutter today, for I no longer cut hair. 

So, then, what is the issue with saying we are “sinners saved by grace”? It opens the door wide to the idea that we can be saved from our sins, and assured heaven as our eternal destiny, but while we continue sinning against  God by habit. And that is typically how the phrase is being used and taught, that we can be saved and on our way to heaven while we remain active sinners. For they teach a false grace which does not teach that Jesus died to free us from our slavery to sin so we will now obey our God’s commands.

So, if we are all called “sinners,” whether or not we believe in Jesus, then what is to differentiate us who believe in Jesus from those who do not? It isn’t that we have been “saved by grace.” Why? Because when Jesus saves us, he is saving (delivering) us out of our addiction (slavery) to sin so that we can now serve him in walks of obedience to his commands. And the Scriptures make it clear that if we claim to be in fellowship with God while we walk in darkness (in sin, in practice) we do not live by the truth.

But it is absolutely truth that we are only saved from slavery to sin and assured heaven as our eternal destiny by the grace of God through God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ. But this faith is not a feeling or lip service only, but it is to be persuaded of God as to our sinfulness, and of his holiness and righteousness, and of God’s requirement that we now die to sin and walk in obedience to his commands, by his grace, in his power. For it means to be persuaded of God’s will, and if persuaded, then we yield to God’s control.

So, yes, there is not anything that we can do in our own flesh, by our own fleshly works, to be approved by God, to be saved from our sins, and to have eternal life with God. And this includes making verbal professions of faith in Jesus Christ, with no death to sin, and no obedience to God, thinking that all our sins are forgiven and now heaven is a sure thing. For that is not of God! That thinking is of human flesh! For Jesus put our sins to death with him so we will die to sin and obey him and his commands, in his power.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]

For by grace we’ve been saved

Of all our sins,

So that with Christ Jesus

Our lives begin.

Cleansing us from sin,

He made pure within

All who trust in Him

As their Savior, friend,

So that with Christ Jesus

Our lives begin.

We’ve been saved through faith;

This not from ourselves,

Lest that we should boast

In our fleshly works.

Our salvation is 

A gift from our God,

Who loves us so much 

That He gave His Son

To die on the cross

For all of our sins.

So repent of all

Of your sins today,

And He’ll forgive you;

Wipe your sins away.

Obey all of His 

Teachings given you,

So that you can walk

With Him now in truth;

So that you can walk

With Him now in truth.

Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:43-48 NASB1995)

As followers of Jesus Christ we are to love all people, no matter who they are, or where they are from, or what they have done, or how they treat us or others we love. We are to hate the evil that people do, and we should never pacify evil nor those making evil (sin) their practice. For to love also means speaking the truth to people, in love, calling sin what it is, and calling all to repentance (death to sin) and to walks of obedience to our Lord and to his commands, by his grace, via God-provided faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

For this is not fleshly love being spoken of here, but this is agape love which prefers what God prefers, which is all that is righteous, holy, upright, godly, morally pure, honest, faithful, and obedient to our Lord’s commands. This is the kind of love Jesus had for us when he willingly surrendered to being put to death on a cross in order to put our sins to death with him, so that, by faith in him, we will now die to sin and live for Jesus in living holy lives, pleasing to God. For love does for others what is ultimately for their good.

And loving our enemies and those who do evil against us engages us in praying for them, for what is for their good (good in the eyes of God), for their salvation (deliverance) from slavery to sin so that they can now serve the Lord in walks of obedience to his commands. And we should pray for their physical needs to be met, and for opportunities to show them love and kindness, according to our giftedness, and our means, and the ways in which the Lord would have us show kindness to them, which won’t all be the same.

And love for others must be given even if it is not reciprocated. For this is not “I do for you, and then you do for me, and then I…” We love others whether or not they ever love us back, and even if they do evil against us, and even if they speak lies against us. We do good for others even if they never do good to us, and even if they grossly sin against us. And we keep loving no matter how many times they sin against us, too, and we keep forgiving, too. But forgiveness is not permission for them to keep sinning. Forgiveness is refusal to punish and an invitation to make things better.

Now, with regard to being perfect, as our heavenly Father is perfect – the word means spiritually mature, complete, whole, holy, as we ought to be as followers of Jesus Christ, doing the will of God, walking in his footsteps, obeying his commands, in practice, no longer making sin your practice. It doesn’t mean that we will never sin (1 John 2:1-2), but that we should be becoming more and more like Jesus daily in following him wherever he leads us in doing all that he commands, loving God, and loving other humans.

“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” (Luke 6:27-28 NASB1995)

[Proverbs 24:17-20; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:8-12,43-48; Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:27-36; Luke 10:27; John 13:33-35; John 15:12; Romans 12:9-11,14-21; 1 Corinthians 13:1-8; 1 Corinthians 16:14; 1 John 4:7]

A Hard Truth

Sadly, this article speaks truth, a truth not many want to hear or believe, but true, nonetheless. This is truth the Lord has been showing me, step by step, the past nearly 22 years since he called me to this ministry of sharing my times I have with him in his word each day here on the internet. And as someone who was sexually abused by her own father for about 10 years, as a child, I feel this deeply, and I weep over this, and not just that it is being done, but who all is involved in it, from the top down, and how many people are looking up to those who are committing these heinous crimes, and are believing their lies, and are giving many of these criminals their support.

Light is Sown Like Seed

“Light is sown like seed for the righteous

And gladness for the upright in heart.

Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,

And give thanks to His holy name.” (Psalm 97:11-12 NASB1995)

“Light is sown like seed for the righteous..” (Psalm 97:11 NASB1995)

What is light? It is the opposite of darkness. Jesus Christ is the Light of the World. And light is truth and righteousness. The message of the gospel of our salvation is light, and light is true knowledge and understanding. Light also reveals truth while darkness hides it. For darkness is opposed to the light. For darkness is all that is evil, wicked, sinful, and full of deception. Darkness not only hides the light, but what truth it allows it alters and it twists so that it speaks lies instead of truth. So we must seek after the light to find it and to let the light shine in the darkness to expose what is evil.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

“..And gladness for the upright in heart.” (Psalm 97:11 NASB1995) 

The Light of the World, Jesus Christ, and the gospel of our salvation – of deliverance from addiction to sin, and the hope of eternal life with God – should make those of us who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ glad at heart. For we who now believe in Christ as our Lord and Savior, in truth, have been delivered from our slavery to sin so we can now serve the Lord Jesus in walks of surrender and in obedience to his commands. Therefore, we are the upright in heart, but only by the grace of God, and only as we submit to the Lordship of Christ over our lives, making him our Master.

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

“Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones..” (Psalm 97:12 NASB1995)

Who are the “righteous ones”? They are all who have been made righteous by faith in Jesus Christ. Yes! But they are also all who are living righteously, by the grace of God, as followers of Jesus Christ. For to be righteous in the eyes of the Lord means that, in the power of God, we are living, in practice, in conformity to God’s standards, to his will, to his commands. So, to be glad in the Lord is not all this “feel good” “happy-happy” stuff of human flesh that is all surface level. It is rather a deep-seated joy that comes from knowing we have been set free from slavery to sin to now serve God with our lives.

For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (See Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:8-10) 

“..And give thanks to His holy name.” (Psalm 97:12 NASB1995)

We who are righteous in the eyes of our Lord, by faith in Jesus Christ, who are living righteously, by the grace of God, in walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands, in surrender to his will for our lives, should give thanks to Him who rescued us out of our sinful lives, who renewed us by His Spirit, and who has given us new lives in Christ Jesus to be lived for his glory. We should give him thanks daily that he did not leave us in the darkness but that he brought us into his wonderful light and he rescued us from what enslaved us so we can now live holy lives, pleasing to God, in service to him.

For we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

In His service. He’s my Lord.

Jesus Christ will come again

To take His bride to be with Him.

Oh, what gladness; free from sadness

When I meet Him in the air.

Deity of Christ

Jesus is God the Son, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit

This is God speaking: Hebrews 1:8-9: But of the Son He says,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,

And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.

“You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

Jesus is called God.

John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:18 - No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

John 8:24: Therefore I said unto you that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye do not believe that I AM, ye shall die in your sins. 

John 8:58: "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'"

John 10:30-33: "I and the Father are one."  31 The Jews took up stones again to stone Him.  32 Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?"  33 The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."

Col. 2:9: "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."

Titus 2:13 - waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ

2 Peter 1:1 - Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ

Romans 9:5 - To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

John 20:28-29 - Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Jesus Christ is God. He is the second person of our triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Even God the Father called him God (Heb 1:8-9). The Jews killed him because he claimed to be God. 

[John 1:1-36; John 8:24,58; John 10:30-33; John 20:28-29; Romans 9:5; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 2:9; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8-9; 1 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Peter 1:1]

If Truth Be Told

The Passage for today is in Psalm 97, verses 7 and 10:

“Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images,

Who boast themselves of idols;

Worship Him, all you gods…

Hate evil, you who love the Lord,

Who preserves the souls of His godly ones;

He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” (NASB1995)

I live in the USA. Right now some of our government heads (or former heads) are under fire with regard to something called “The Epstein Files,” which has to do with human (sex) trafficking and child molestation. But this didn’t begin just here. Some heads (or former heads) of the US government have also been associated with the Bohemian Grove, Satanic rituals, The Skull and Bones society, and with Freemasons (deep into it), and other such organizations which are of evil origin, and some of which have associations with child sacrifice, sex trafficking, and Satanic rituals, from what I recall. 

[I am finding it very difficult to get information on these societies today.]

I did an AI search on the Skull and Bones Society, of which GHW Bush and GW Bush and others were/are members. It is a secret society, and their rituals are “rumored to be bizarre and involve occult-like imagery.” It is at least speculated that the Bohemian Grove, attended by men of power in our nation over the years, also deals in occult ceremonies, child abuse, and even human sacrifice, also linked to the “New World Order.” Both of these are secret societies of which many of our government heads were/are a part. And honestly, if truth be told, our nation was not founded upon Christianity.

See: https://youtu.be/cfHUOikHBdo?si=837Oh5qS3Cx294D2

As I have shared previously, 21 years ago the Lord God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – began opening my eyes to the truth of the history of my nation and its symbols, statues, and ceremonies. And I began learning that the USA is not one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, but our government was founded in the Freemasonry and Universalist religions and the occult, which is obvious in our national symbols and monuments and buildings and architecture, and on our $1 bill. And many of our national leaders are/were members of occultic private clubs, too.

And, if truth be told, you would learn that our government heads have been lying to us for so many years, and they are truly the world’s “Mafia,” and the world’s worst terrorists, too. For they work for the elite, the wealthy, and the powerful of the world, going throughout the world killing, stealing, and raping other nations of their people, and their natural resources, and their lands, and all under some false premise, i.e. a “false flag” operation. First they create the chaos and then they go into these other nations to “rescue” them from their “evil” leaders in order to take them over (a military coup).

So, all of us Christians in the USA need to “take off the blinders,” and pray for wisdom and discernment to know who is telling the truth and who are speaking the lies, both coming from the government and within the gatherings of what are at least being called “the church.” For lies and liars abound both in “the church” and in the government. And the people of my nation have largely been duped into believing the lies for generation after generation. But idol worship, occultic practices, sex trafficking, and the murdering of innocents are being done all over the place by our nation.

So, hate evil, you who love the Lord. And be careful that you are not supporting the evildoers and their evil deeds by blind loyalty out of some kind of something taught you in the gatherings of “the church” and in your public schools, and via the media. And if you are living in idolatry and in adultery and in addiction to sin, especially in the area of sexual immorality, please repent of your sins and obey God today. For we are living in very troubled times, and the signs of the last days are everywhere you look today. And if sin is our practice, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]

To the angels of all the churches write:

These are the words of your Lord and your God.

I know all your deeds, and your witness, too,

And who holds to My words and tells what’s true.

I know all your hard work and your perseverance,

Yet I hold against you: you’ve forsaken Me. 

Listen to what I say to you.

You have people there who deny My name,

And who put the cross of Christ up to shame.

They entice the people to Me, profane,

And their worship of Me is all in vain.

They are so adult’rous as they chase their idols,

And you put up with them easily enough.

Listen to what I say to you.

You give off an image of godliness,

But what you present is so fraudulent,

Or else you lack passion for Jesus Christ, 

So you look to others to tell what’s right.

I say turn from your sin, or you will face judgment.

He who overcomes will have eternal life.

Listen to what I say to you.

I know your afflictions and poverty;

How you suffer for your Lord patiently.

Do not fear the devil and company.

You be faithful to your Lord endlessly.

I know all your weakness and your dedication.

You have kept My Word and not denied your Lord.

I will write on you My new name.

Multiple Times On Here

Multiple times here on the internet, on various sites, I have shared a song that the Lord gave me to write on September 11, 2012. It is called, “For Our Nation.” I would encourage you to listen to it, and to watch it, whether or not you like the music or the singing voice (old voice), but for the message contained in both the lyrics and in the images on the video. For it speaks of our nation’s history, and it lets us know that the historical events pictured in the video were/are not what they were presented to the people of this nation to be. But they all had evil schemes behind them created by and at the hands of our national leaders who serve a global cabal of the wealthy and powerful of this world in bringing us into a New World Order.
