Faith and Repentance are Inseparable. written by Mark Rahe Faith and Repentance are Inseparable.. ( When we chose to believe in the Gospel of Christ, admitting that we are sinners in need of Christ, we have Repented. ) The moment we here the Gospel of our Salvation ( The Gospel of Christ ) and Believe by Faith, we are Sealed with the Holy Spirit unto the Day of Redemption. Never to lose it! If you say you must repent of your sins to be saved, then it makes you a liar because we are saved by Faith and NOT self righteous Works, and makes you think that you can earn your way to heaven or have part in your Salvation by your self righteous works, other than to JUST BELIEVE by FAITH the Gospel of Christ Therefore in some way you trust your self righteous works as part of Gods Salvation and trample the Blood of Christ as an un- holy thing. James 2:10 (King James Version) 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Galatians 5:4 (King James Version) 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you , whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 (King James Version) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast . Only those who do not Admit to God that they are sinners and chose to reject the Free Gift of Salvation, by faith in the Blood of Jesus as the accepted payment for their sins, or add self righteous works to the Free Gift of Salvation will go to hell. Only them. To tell people that they will go to hell because they do this, or they do that, is Lordship Salvation ( a false gospel see. Galatians 1:6-13)! We should be about sharing the Gospel of Christ to get people Eternally Saved Forever and then let the Holy Spirit do His job. Those who have Placed their Faith in Christ Alone can NEVER lose their Eternal Salvation, in-which is IMPUTED unto them the Moment they Hear and Believe the Gospel of Christ. ( Speaking as unto Abraham ) Romans 4:19-25 (King James Version) 19 And being not weak in faith, he ( Abraham ) considered not his own body now dead , when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Saras womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised , he was able also to perform . 22 And therefore it was Imputed to him for Righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was Imputed to him; 24 But for US also, to whom it shall be Imputed , if we believe on him ( God ) that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for OUR Justification. 2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV 3 But I fear , lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ. > THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST > 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (King James Version) 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED , and wherein ye STAND ; 2 By which also YE ARE SAVED , IF ye KEEP IN MEMORY what I preached unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED IN VAIN. 3 For I delivered unto you FIRST OF ALL that which I also RECEIVED , how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried , and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: > Ephesians 1:13 KJV In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye HEARD the Word of Truth, the GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: in whom also after that ye BELIEVED , ye were SEALED with that Holy Spirit of PROMISE, How long are we sealed with the Holy Spirit? Ephesians 4:30 KJV 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the DAY OF REDEMPTION . > Colossians 2:5-15 (King James Version) 9 For in him ( Jesus ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power: That is Good news, that means that we can NEVER lose our Salvation. and that we are COMPLETE in Christ the Moment we Heard and Believed the Gospel of Christ, that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. Believe and be Eternally Saved Forever! We can not trust our turning a new leaf to save us or has any part in our Eternal Salvation! Our Faith must be in what Jesus did for us Alone!!! A Free Gift as we will see below. We must acknowledge that we are sinners! ( Bad News first ) Romans 3:23 (King James Version) 23 For all have sinned , and come short of the glory of God; Romans 6:23 (King James Version) 23 For the wages of sin is death; BUT the GIFT of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Everyone has broken Gods laws and have inherited a sinful nature through Adam ( see Romans 5:12-21 King James Version). Our sentence is death, and not only death from this Earthly life but A Second Death being Separated from God Forever on the Day of Judgement. Revelation 21:8 (King James Version) 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable , and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. We must Trust what Jesus did for us! ( Good News for us who have placed ALL our Faith in the Gospel of Christ, that He died for our sins, was buried and rose again ) Colossians 2:12-14 (King James Version) 12 Buried with him ( Jesus ) in baptism ( spiritual baptism ), wherein also ye are risen with him through the FAITH of the OPERATION of God, who hath raised him ( Jesus ) from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESPASSES; ( ONCE AND FOR ALL ) 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that WAS against us, which WAS ( past tense ) contrary to us, and TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS; ( We are now by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, have been reconciled unto God. No more sins to be held against us! ) 2 Corinthians 5:14-21 (King James Version) 14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge , that if one died for all, then were all dead : 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again . 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are Passed Away ; behold , all things are Become New. 18 And all things are of God, WHO HATH RECONCILED US to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES UNTO THEM; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ( now we tell others of the Free Gift of Eternal Salvation offered by God ) 20 Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, who knew no sin; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM. God took all of our sins and placed them on Jesus, when Jesus was nailed to the cross!!! Thank you God! And thank you Jesus for dieing for our sins! Thank you God for burying our sins with Jesus and then raising Jesus from the dead, as you have raised us unto new life without sins being held against us no more, and made us Righteous in Jesus, Forever! > Jesus took His OWN BLOOD and placed it on the Mercy Seat in Heaven on OUR behalf. > “ Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained Eternal Redemption for US... For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for US (Hebrews 9:12,24). > Jesus took His OWN BLOOD and placed it on the Mercy Seat in Heaven on OUR behalf. > Believing the Gospel of Christ, Not repenting of sins, or doing good, or stopping bad habits, but Faith in the Shed Blood of Christ and His burial and Resurrection is what Saves Alone. If we add to the Finished Work of Christ we trust in our self righteous works plus Jesus. This is a satanic RCC ( Roman Catholic Church ) teaching of grace plus works. Which equals No salvation. Christ plus = death / Christ plus nothing = Eternal Life. All we need to do to be Eternally Saved Forever, escaping the Second Death is to place ALL our Faith in the Finished Work of Jesus the Christ who shed His Blood on the Cross, and Applied His own Blood upon the Mercy Seat of God, for the FULL Payment of the Sins of the whole World, to them that Believe. That is why I say and ALL i really need to know for sure, is that I trust only the Applied Blood of Jesus the Christ, that is upon the Mercy Seat of God in my behalf to Save me Alone apart from any thing i do, except to believe that Christ died for my sins, was buried and rose from the dead the third day. If there was a law to make us Righteous then Salvation would be by the law and Jesus would never of had to die for our sins. Galatians 2:21 (King James Version) 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain If you add to the Finished Work of Jesus the Christ on the Cross then you trust in your self righteous works, and tread the Blood of Christ as an unholy thing. Galatians 5:4 (King James Version) 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you , whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 (King James Version) 8 For by Grace are ye Saved through Faith; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the Gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast . “But BY HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” —Hebrews 9:12 I trust only the Applied Blood of Jesus the Christ, that is upon the Mercy Seat of God in my behalf to Save me Alone. Knowing that Jesus died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the grave for my Justification! Will you Believe on the Gospel of Christ, today? Be reconciled unto God! Copy Paste Share
