THE TWO F’S OF SALVATION
Jesus Christ said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. For I have not spoken on My own [authority]; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak." John 12:44,49-50. Readers, Jesus Christ said that everything that He had said or spoken were not His words, but words that God the Father had told Him to say; Words that Yahweh had told Him to say. “Whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” Jesus did not say or do anything that contradicts with the will of Yahweh. There was no disunity or inconsistency of purpose between God the Father, God the son, and us before Jesus died on the cross. But now, centuries later after Jesus was crucified and died on the cross, we have over 45,000 separate Christian denominations globally, and only one Jesus Christ. Why? Because we have been ignoring His words, and inventing new words that God the Father has never said to His Son, Jesus Christ, such as “the law of Christ”, which we have never heard before and was spread only by the enemies of Christ after Jesus was crucified. “The law of Christ” is a 4-word deceptive words that means to ignore God, our creator, but to love one another instead, so we can benefit from each other. "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2. Readers, don’t we know that ignoring God is OFFENSIVE and UPSETTING to God? Don’t we know that? Look what happened to Adam and Eve, Lucifer and millions of his angels, and billions of souls who perished during the big flood during Noah’s time. They all ignored God. Why can’t we learn from history? I heard that some of us say that they have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation 3 times. Then, why are we still confused, why? A lawyer asked Jesus, "Teacher, which [is] the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "`You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is [the] first and great commandment. "And [the] second [is] like it: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "On these TWO commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 22:36-40. In a different text a lawyer asked Jesus what he has to do to inherit eternal life, and His answer was the same. Luke 10:25:37. The “law of Christ", however, fulfills only the second part of Matthew 22:36-40, to help one another, but ignored the fist part, “`You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'” Readers, we can love every human being on earth until our face turns blue, but if we don’t love God with all our heart, with all our mind, and with all our soul, we will hear nothing but wailing and gnashing of teeth, or dentures, when God casts our soul into hell. Ignoring the words of God the Father is not something that we want to ever do!. It is OFFENSIVE to God! Look what happened to Adam and Eve, Lucifer and millions or billions of his angels, and the billions of souls who perished during the big flood during Noah’s days. God the Father forced them to inhale mud water without mercy! Why? They all ignored God’s words and warnings! They OFFENDED God the Father. Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, does and says only what God the Father wanted Him to say and do, and nothing more, nothing less. Who are we to change, add, or subtract His words or will, and teach others as if they are the truth and nothing but the truth, when the truth that they tell us are 100% FALSE? There is no such thing as the "law of Christ" that is based on half-truth. There is no such thing as “the law of Christ” if we don't love God with all our heart, with all our mind, and with all our soul. “The law of Christ” without loving God with all our heart, mind, and soul is invented by the enemy of Christ to deceive us. Satan doesn’t want us to love Jesus. Why? Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments" John 14:15. Satan hates the commandments of God. Satan doesn’t want us to keep the commandments of God. Do you want to know why? Because if we keep His commandments we will not fall into Satan's trap of living in sin under grace. I estimate that right now we have millions of Christians worldwide who are living in sin under grace. What is the “law of Christ” so different from Matthew 22:36-40 and Luke 10:25:37? The “law of Christ” completely ignores the will of God the Father. And we know that everyone who ignores the will of the Father will go straight to hell, no detour. Matthew 7:21-23. The words of Jesus are different from “the law of Christ”. I call the words of Jesus “the law of Yahweh”, or also known as the Ten Commandments. "The law of Christ" makes God the Father non-existent or irelevant. Jesus Christ is a messenger of Yahweh, a subordinate of Yahweh, and as such He has no authority to override the will of God the Father or Yahweh by changing His words, or inventing nonsense, such the “law of Christ” to replace the law of Yahweh. Only God the Father has the authority to replace the law of Yahweh, and no one else.
John 12:44,49-50 is very different from Ephesians 2:8-9. I don’t know who the true source of Ephesians 2:8-9 is.
Tonight, I want to talk about the two f’s of salvation. One is faith, and the other is fear. We have read or heard a lot about faith as a means to receive our salvation. The apostle Paul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9.
We know, however, that faith alone does not work. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Faith cannot pass the test of time. Salvation is a marathon, not a sprint. God the Father said, by way of Jesus Christ, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 24:13. This sounds to me that salvation is a marathon, and not a sprint. Millions of Christians claimed that they have faith in Jesus Christ. Millions of Christians say that they love Jesus who has died to pay for their sins. Do they love Jesus, really? God the Father said, by way of Jesus Christ, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. Do we keep the commandments that God the Father gave us by way of the prophet Moses and Jesus Christ? No, in fact we ignored all of them under the pretense that Jesus had died on the cross. Christians say that they “don't abolish” God's commandments, but instead they ignored God’s commandments. What’s the difference? Ignoring and abolishing God's commandments are both OFFENSIVE to God the Father! Christians say that they are under ‘the law of Christ’”. I don’t think Christians understand what they are reading when they read the Bible. What is "the law of Christ"? Can we now worship idols, rip off Social Security, commit adultery, dishonor our parents, covet, etc. since we are now under the “law of Christ”? The so-called law of Christ is a deception set by Satan to make us fail. We are not under the “law of Christ”. We are still under the law of Yahweh.
The Ten commandments prevent us from living in sin under grace. Satan hates God's commandments. Don’t Christians know that Jesus’ death has not fulfilled the Old Testament law, The Ten Commandments? We are still ignoring them. And we don’t even realize that ignoring Yahweh’s law is OFFENSIVE to God the Father!
Here now I am introducing to you a new way to get our salvation. And that is through fear of God. Faith alone cannot pass the test of time. It will wear off after a few years, a decade or two. But the fear of the Lord will keep us on the straight path until Jesus comes. Do we have the faith in God, or do we have the fear of God?
Yahweh said to Abraham, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you FEAR God, since you have not withheld your son, your only [son], from Me."
