FAITHFULNESS_ What is FAITH? Sam Shamoun

[@Joseph123y]

The parable of the 10 virgins and servants who were given skills

[@godskingdom14]

The parable of the Good Samaritan is another great example of this. While the Jewish rabbi had a belief in God, he did not have true faith, for he did not act on his faith and help the wounded man

[@Howie47]

"Faithfullness" is those who keep expecting the Lord to keep washing them clean from the filthy lies of this world and renewing the Holy Spirit within them. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His Mercy, He saved us. By the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit." - Titus 3:5

Great lesson for all of us

[@silveriorebelo2920]

clear and straightforward teaching - thank you, Sam

[@kathydeschene4649]

I love this

[@stephenhorton2184]

thru faith comes good works, you need good works for rewards in heaven it's that simple.

[@James-v7f8y]

I think the confusion lies in that people fail to understand that "belief" and "faith" are not the same thing!

[@clayyeagley]

Works don't save us only Christ's works do... He imparts His works onto the believer through faith and we choose to be obedient in response because of the faith we where gifted from Him

[@pete8684]

Grace is a free gift which requires our continuous freewill consent in every stage of our life until earthly death . (belief, trust and action to obey God). "But the one who endures to the end will be saved." OSAS and faith alone are for the lazy servants which received one talent and did nothing with it.

[@robertkelly9445]

Faith alone and the works are what Jesus did

[@robertkelly9445]

It is works the works of Jesus Christ

[@Jae_hX]

So I confess Jesus is Lord and Believe in my heart he Has risen and love him BUT, I struggle with a sin like smoking, I die. I go to hell because I didn't have real faith because I didn't Obey? Let's say same thing BUT, I quit smoking, quit lusting, completely overcome the flesh. Did I not do that on my own?! I worked for it? 🤔 I just worked for my salvation..

[@FangisKhan]

If i believe in Jesus and confess that he died to save me from my sins and go and kill as many people I can, am I still saved? Sola fide make sense hahahhahahaahah

[@clayyeagley]

We ARE saved by Faith alone...Faith will bare fruit if it is true God given faith...Jesus is the fruit...Holy Spirit is visible in that faith because the faith we walk in is in itself given to us as a gift from God

[@binhanh296]

The servant who was given 1 talent by his master, which can be understood as true faith given by God Himself, did not work, so his talent or his faith was taken away. That was the true faith given by God, but if you don't work it out, you will be cut off from the "saved". The LORD is the Working God, He alone maintain the existence of the world, and you said you are His servant but you don't want to work?

[@bigdog1106]

We are to live by Faith Alone which includes Hope and Love, Charity. Luther twisted what Augustine wrote.

[@menuautoset6950]

Do the mute and those rendered unable of speech have an out so that they may confess?

[@binhanh296]

Matthew 25:31-40 KJV [31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. [37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? [39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? [40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Can anyone help me find "faith" in these "sheeps" which was saved, for they have done a lot of "works" even thought they did not know they did it for the LORD there? Also: John 15:1-2 KJV [1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Can we a little break down here. Anyone in me (this is faith) Who beareth not fruit (this is without works) He taketh away (this is not saved anymore) And every branch that beareth fruit (this is works) He purgeth it (sound very like purgatory to me) That it may bring forth more fruit (this is to do even more works) Does the LORD Jesus Christ need to be any clearer? If you don't do work, even if you are in Him, you will be cut of. This verse alone destroyed "Faith Only" and "Once Saved, Always Saved" heresy, also He taught that we will go through Purgatory to become a greater worker than before.

I am very very tired of this conversation it’s very simple. Obey Jesus Christ. Obeying Jesus Christ is a work. It takes works. without obeying what Jesus Christ told us to do.. we are not saved. Our witness is EVERYTHING. Such as in the court of law. If your family, friends, and coworkers were asked to make a statement about your life.. would Jesus Christ be brought up? The only way to measure your religious beliefs is the works you do that show for it… such as showing up for your job. Your “job” as a Christian is to obey God. Stop telling people “ oh you don’t technically have to get baptized” YES YOU DO!?!?!? Of course God extends his grace to certain individuals. But not getting baptized is disobeying God’s commands. Disobeying God’s commands is showing a lack of faith. Obey everything Jesus Christ taught.
