God's Final Test of your Faith, is it Works?

Question

Do you believe that all you have to do is Believe in Jesus?

Without any works of your faith?

Because, Revelations says, with out the Mark of the Beast you won't buy or sell! That could mean, no food for alot of us! Will you Choose Food or God? Do you have to show your faith?

Revelations..
13:17
14:19-11
16:2
19:20
20:4 The showed their Faith, by their works. Refused the Mark!

Will you choose God, and not eat? or will you Take your Bread and receive the MARK of the Beast? Is this not works?

Does not your Faith in God, come in Works?
Will you be saved, if you believe in Jesus, but accept the Mark of the Beast so you can eat?

Matthew 4:4

James 2:
17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble...

DON'T GET IT TWISTED. We cannot earn Salavation. JESUS PAID THAT PRICE! But our Faith is what God requires, We have to prove that! Through Works!

I am not a Catholic, and I don't believe in their man made Works, not even in the bible. The things that The Catholic Church Teaches will bring you a one way ticke to Hell.

The bible is CLEAR! NOT TO FOLLOW MAN!

The Catholic Church, goes agains the Bible, and I believe they are the Church that will be with the Beast (is the Beast). They will be given out their Mark in the End times.

I GOT SO MANY GREAT ANSWERS. You guys are good!

Know your bible very well. Where are those who oppose the Commandments of God? Where are the only Faith people?

Answer 1

Ok first off i think what you said about catholics is very true, and your a brave person for saying it! We are not saved through our works, correct. But faith without works is dead! The Lord will reward those who have diligently followed him. I believe that believing is just the first step. Some people only get that far before they die. But i believe that we need to follow God, chase after him! Not just believe! The demons believe, AND TREMBLE AT HIS NAME.

Answer 2

This question is easier to answer than you might think. As it says in the scriptures plain and simply, "faith without works is dead." Otherwise, what is the point of God's 10 Commandments?

Just having faith in Jesus Christ is simply not enough. Of course, naturally, if you have faith in Jesus Christ than that means you accept Him and His Gospel, which teaches charity and service to your fellow man and to "always obey the Father." Therefore, if you TRULY have faith, you will already be doing the works.

Jesus atoned for the sins of the world and His free gift to mankind is not entering into Heaven...it's man's resurrection.

Some religions teach that when you're dead, you simply "cease to exist." That is simply not true, because it says in the scriptures that we were with God before we were born. So after death, we're resurrected into the spirit world where we stay until we are judged. There is much reference to this in St. Matthew and St. John.

Resurrection is not for the "chosen few"...you can be the most horrible person in the world and you will still be resurrected because of the wonderful love and mercy of the Lord, but you will suffer eternally for your poor decisions in life as they will be reaccounted by Jesus Christ during our judgment.

And as for hell or "hades" as some religions refer, it is not to be taken literally as "fire and brimstone" as it says in the Scriptures. This is a figurative metaphor for how miserable we will be not spending eternity in the presence of God. Hell is not being resurrected by Jesus. Once again, we will ALL be resurrected no matter what...we will ALL be judged according to our works and whether we kept God's Commandments. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Answer 3

God isn't testing everyone. For a attempt God may must have created the pains which persons go by. God did not attempt this. God gave human beings the potential to pick on how they take care of one yet another and God created a organic international the position now and again issues that could nicely be seen risky ensue including organic mess united statesor ailment. God did not make human beings stay in a coastal section difficulty to hurricanes or tidal waves. God did not make human beings smoke to work out what may ensue. human beings made their personal options. God basically watches us, each each now and then enticing when we ask him to in faith, and makes a decision who he needs to loaf round with depending on the options they make. Your evaluation is like retaining that you're testing human beings once you refer to them or look at them and make certain in case you want to be acquaintances with them. God exams human beings decrease than we attempt one yet another considering that he does no longer oftentimes ask us particular questions about some thing and he does no longer oftentimes create particular situations basically to work out what we do.

Answer 4

Works are proof that God has already given us faith.
If our salvation is real then works will follow within our life.
As the Bible says faith alone is dead. Even the devils believe and they tremble.

Answer 5

Well you just expressed that you believe exactly what the Catholic Church teaches faith and works go hand in hand. Does that mean you have a one way ticket to hell?

Answer 6

Our works can't save us; only Jesus can do that. But without doing works, we cannot be saved- because faith without works is dead.
Just believing in Jesus doesn't give you a free ticket to Heaven. It can't! Christ said, "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Mt. 7:21) And He also commanded, "If you would enter life, keep the commandments." (Mt 19:17)

Answer 7

Faith and works go hand and hand but it is not our works that saves us. It's by God's grace that any of us get to go to heaven. Works is a result of faith and not the other way around.

Answer 8

I hope I pass his test, as I believe in God and Christ who he did send
John 17:3;
I believe he sent us the bible to be delighted in and know where we came from, what happened, why we have to have faith and why this is happening now and what will happen and we can count on it being for our good.

Answer 9

yes i agree! 14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds."
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

19You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

20You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[d]? 21Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,"[e] and he was called God's friend. 24You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Answer 10

We are saved by Grace through Faith and Works. That is what I believe. If we don't obey Jesus, He has said that He will cast us away from Him.
