The Holy Bible declares in John 5:24, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23-24, Hebrews 10:38 and many other

places that we have been saved by the grace of God and that we receive this grace by faith. Because of this, many preachers preach that all we need is faith. I agree with them, but in these days of confusion, even the basic and fundamental things of the Bible, such as faith, need to be made clear. Faith (belief), by itself, does not prove that a person has accepted Jesus Christ as his only Lord and Savior, because even Satan believes, but his belief is only an understanding of the facts. It is the faith that produces works of love that God acknowledges as the evidence {fruit} of full surrender to Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior [John 13:35, 15:8, 1 John 2:3-6, Romans 13:8-10]. Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, 'Thou hast faith, and I have works? Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. (James 2:17-18) For in Jesus Christ, neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love (Galatians 5:6). So, what we need is not faith alone, nor works alone, nor faith plus works, but the faith that works by love. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling (holding on to the merits of Jesus Christ). I come to Jesus just as I am (sinful and hopeless) and freely receive the salvation that He has purchased for me with His precious blood. And after I tell Him Thank you so much, He softly asks me, My child, do you love Me? I quickly reply, Yes Lord, I love you. Then He says, Keep My commandments (John 14:15). I reply, Yes Lord, I will keep them. But while I am about to leave, His Spirit speaks to my heart and reminds me that I am weak. So I tell Jesus, I really want to keep them for I know they are holy and eternal and are the foundation of your Kingdom of love, but I am weak. Is it okay if I struggle and keep only eight or nine of them? Then He says, They are a unit, so he who breaks even one, has broken them all (James 2:10). But while I am about to be discouraged, He says, Do not worry My child, I will help you. Through My Spirit, I will live in you and enable you to live a law-abiding life *Philippians 2:13+. This, my friends, is the everlasting Gospel. We dont keep Gods law in order to be saved, we keep it simply because Jesus has saved us and thus we love Him and want to obey Him. We have been saved by the grace of God, but we receive this gift through the faith that works by love. And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come (Mathew 24:14). And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the Everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, to every nation, kindred, tongue and people (Revelation 14:6).
