Faith Without Works

Faith without works is dead. Many

people confess to believe in Jesus but their works are evil. They are
sinners. We read in 1 John 2:3 “By this we know that we have come
to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “I
have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps His word,
in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that
we are in Him:6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to
walk in the same manner as He walked.”

“By this we know that we have come to
know Him, if we keep His commandments.” Christians that sin and
live in immorality do not know Jesus because they do not keep His
commandments, they do not live according to His words, as also
recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A Christian
that refuses to repent and be baptized, as Jesus commanded, does not
know nor love Jesus. Jesus said:”If you love Me, you
will keep My commandments.“John 14:15.

“By this we know that we are in
Him:6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the
same manner as He walked.” Many Christians believers do not know
Jesus and do not abide in Him, because they do not live as Jesus
lived and taught His disciples to do. Their faith is in vain because
their works prove that they do not know Jesus, nor stay in obedience
to Him. They are like the world, the unbelievers that are perishing,
they are heading for destruction, they are on their way to hell.

We read in 1John 2:15 “Do not love
the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the
boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the
world. 17The world is passing away, and also its
lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”

Those who love the world and the things
of the world do not have any love for Jesus and therefor they do not
obey Him, they practice sin, lawlessness, unrighteousness, their
deeds are evil. Many are preachers, evangelists, street preachers,
clergy, missionaries, church leaders, but they love the world and
their works are evil.

Jesus said “  21“Not
everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will
enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did
we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and
in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will
declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU
WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ “Matthew 7:21,22.

If we know Jesus, our works will prove
it, because we will obey Him and abide in Him..

The apostle John wrote in  I John
2:28 ”Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears,
we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His
coming. 29If you know that He is righteous, you know that
everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.”

Do we abide in Him? Will we have
confidence when Jesus appears, or will we hang our head in shame and
shrink away from Him in fear because we did not obey Him.

May Jesus bless you.
