The Acts Of Genuine Faith by FreshGreen: 7:35am On Mar 03, 2015
THE ACTS OF GENUINE FAITH

Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Faith in God is not just to believe God for miracle or something, but it is to please God. To believe who God is and displease Him at the same time are contradictory opposite. If you believe that God is holy, righteous, and faithful and you are living unholy, unrighteous and unfaithful life it means your faith in God is fake. Genuine faith in God seeks to please in His commands.

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Hebrews 11:6. It is not possible to please God without faith, and it is not possible to have faith without pleasing God. Those preachers and churches who claim faith without holiness and righteousness are false. If your understanding about faith in God is believing God for blessing and miracle, then you have not gotten the clear understanding of the biblical faith.

Genuine faith of the Bible is believing God and pleasing God at the same time. If you believe and you fail to please Him in obedience to His commands, then your faith is fake and unfruitful. Faith without fruitfulness in the word of God is fake. Faith alone will amount to nothing if not accomplished with the work of righteousness. Believing alone without behaving to please God is bad.

Bible categorizes those who believe God without working righteousness as fools, because even demons are better than them. How? Do you know that demons also believe God, and they even tremble? Yet they are condemned, so your belief in God without work of righteousness is empty. James 2:19, 29 “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?”

Faith in God without working righteousness in God is dead, such faith is of same level with the faith of demons, and such churches and preachers who teach that all you need is faith in God and His righteousness without you pleasing God in righteous living are teaching doctrines of demons. Demons believe there is God, they believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they tremble. Mark 5:7, “And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”

So you believe there is God? Devil and demons do. You believe Jesus Christ is Lord? Devil and demons do believe also, they even tremble before God which many “so called” Christians don’t. So what makes difference between your faith and demons’ faith if your faith lacks work of righteousness?

One of the doctrines of demons of this end time is faith without work; it teaches to just believe, confess and cash, but such faith never produces righteousness or holy living in such believers; they are loud in their confessions, they claim to be the righteousness of God, but they lack fruit of righteousness. Apostle Paul warned of such believers, preachers and churches, “having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy3:5.

Faith in God, in Jesus Christ as the Savior is form of righteousness, but the power thereof is living to please God in righteousness and holy living. If you believe in faith without pleasing God in holiness and righteousness, you are ruining your soul, if you are going to a church that teaches faith without working righteousness, you must run away from such, and if you have any book, CD or Christian material that emphasises on faith in God without emphasis on pleasing God in holiness, you must destroy such; Bible warning is “And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy3:5.

Have you gotten genuine faith that pleases God and produces righteousness in your life since you have believed? If not, why not now? All you need to do is to embrace the truth and abandon false teachings about faith; rededicate your life to Jesus and start a new faith that will not fail you on the rapture day.

Jude 3, 4 “Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

let's talk here, so that others will learn,
i agree with your view that faith is not just for miracles, But the main thing is for us to have eternal life.
But what you say that faith without works is death means, we should go and work to be saved, which implies that Christ didn't die.
i think you are wrong there.
or are you saying faith without works is dead means we are justified by both faith and works, contradicting
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds(works ) of the law.
and
Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
just know that people are getting knowledge everyday. you African churches can't continue to mislead people with this your work thing.

we are saved through faith - belief (verse 8 below)
We don't work to be saved (verse 9)
We work because we are saved (verse 10)

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Those who do not do good works but still live a worldly lifestyle have a dead faith,
a faith without good works.

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


Don't be worried that you are not doing much good works,
many of us cannot, but we are willing to,
the main works I do is resisting sin and becoming a better person over time,
hating sin when it occurs and asking God to forgive me,
and I believe it is God who is doing these good works in me,
only God is Good.
