8-17-2014- WORKS BEFORE AND AFTER SALVATION


EPHESIANS 2: 8-9 =

(8) FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND NOT OF YOURSELVES : IT IS A GIFT OF YAHWEH:

(9) NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.


"REMARKS"

THIS SUBJECT MATTER CONCERNS WORKS. IN THIS ARTICLE I AM GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN WHERE WORKS FITS IN AS A PART OF THE BORN AGAIN SAINT.

ANY WORK BEFORE SALVATION IS NOT WORK BUT A VALIDATION OF ONES POSITION IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR LOCAL CHURCH.

FOR EXAMPLE; JOINING A CHURCH SYSTEM OR DENOMINATION IS A WORK  WHICH CANNOT BE APPLIED TO SALVATION BUT TO THE FLESH AND CARNAL NATURE OF THOSE NOT BORN AGAIN. IT IS THE LORD WHO ADDS SAINTS TO HIS CHURCH BODY, PUTTING YOUR NAME ON A CHURCH REGISTRY IS NOT A GOOD WORK. THE GOOD WORK OF YAHWEH IS TO BELIEVE ON JESUS, YAH'SHUA, WHO HE SENT.


ACTS 2: 47 = AND THE LORD ADDED TO THE CHURCH DAILY SUCH AS SHOULD BE SAVED.


WORKS ARE ATTRIBUTTED AND APPLIED TO OUR ACCOUNTS WHEN WE ARE BORN AGAIN AND BAPTIZED AND CONFESSION OF JESUS, YAH'SHUA, AS LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT. THEN WORKS ARE CONSIDERED AFTER SALVATION AND CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND IN THE BOOKS IN HEAVEN AND REWARDS GIVEN AT JESUS, YAH'SHUAS, RETURN TO EARTH TO REDEEM THE DEAD SAINTS.

THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH AND IT HAS NO NAMES ATTACHED TO IT LIKE BAPTIST, METHODIST, OR ANY OTHER NAME BUT "THE CHURCH". "THE CHURCH" IS KNOWN BY IT POWER OF THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS IT STARTED THE CHURCH IN ACTS WHEN "THE CHURCH" WAS EMPOWERED AND SENT INTO ALL THE WORLD WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS, CHRIST, YAH'SHUA, THER MESSIAH.

ALL OUR WORKS ARE VAIN UNTIL SALVATION, UNLESS IT IS INTEGRATED WITH FAITH, THEN LIKE OTHERS BEFORE US WHOSE FAITH WAS WITH WORKS SO THEN, WORKS BECOME A PART OF THE FAITH WE NOW HAVE.
