Faith vs. Works

|
| Can you get into heaven by doing nothing? | |
| Yes. | |
| Christ died for the ungodly. | |
| With his stripes were healed. | |
| It is finished. | |
| Okay. | |
| So a non-believer, a murderer, a sinner, a fornicator can get into heaven by doing nothing. | |
| No repentance, no worship, no church going, no prayer, no conciliation with God, no nothing. | |
| He can just go do his evil stuff and he just sails like a soap bubble. | |
| He just sails up through the atmosphere into heaven when he dies. | |
| You have to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. | |
| Fantastic. | |
| Okay. | |
| So you have to earn. | |
| No. | |
| Forgive me. | |
| Faith is the opposite of doing. | |
| This is one thing I struggle with for years. | |
| Faith is, okay, so the gospel is Christ died for our sins. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| Your sins are forgiven. | |
| Go in peace. | |
| So if Christ died for my sins, I'm forgiven. | |
| And so I have to literally call God a liar to say that Christ did not die for my sins. | |
| Okay, so if Christ died for everyone's sins and then everyone is forgiven, you don't need to do anything to get to heaven. | |
| He didn't die for everybody. | |
| He only died for the elect. | |
| Okay, so you have to believe in Jesus to get to heaven. | |
| And you also, you can't say, I believe in Jesus and then break all the commandments, right? | |
| You can't go around murdering people saying, I believe in Jesus and go to heaven, right? | |
| Justification and sanctification are separate. | |
| You're trying to mix the two. | |
| You can't do that when you're talking about justification. | |
| Don't tell me what I can and can't do. | |
| That's kind of rude. | |
| You can make a case for something, but don't give me orders. | |
| I'm not trying to be rude, but. | |
| No, you are. | |
| You're telling me what I can and can't talk about. | |
| I mean, you can make a difference. | |
| I mean, no, you can talk about Bob Saint theologically speaking. | |
| You can't do that. | |
| Can a murderer who claims to believe in Jesus go to heaven? | |
| Okay. | |
| Homosexual can go to heaven if he believes in Jesus. | |
| Look, we have this sin in us. | |
| So you can be a mass murderer. | |
| You can be a pedophile. | |
| And if you say you believe in Jesus, you're good. | |
| I don't care about what the person says. | |
| Is the person believing in Jesus? | |
| So do they come to Christ? | |
| Do they put their hand on the sacrifice by faith appropriate that as theirs? | |
| If they do to say that they're saying, so if you believe in Jesus, then clearly you believe in Jesus' teachings, right? | |
| Yes, part of faith is knowledge, and then the second part of faith is a sense, and the third part is trust. | |
| Well, and there has to be actions as well, right? | |
| No, no. | |
| Well, no, because if you have a believe in a math teacher who says that two and two make four, if I believe in a math teacher who says that two and two make four, if I go around saying two and two make five, am I following the teachings of that math teacher? | |
| No, yeah, yeah, I guess you're calling a math teacher a liar. | |
| Well, I can't say I believe in this math teacher. | |
| I accept that the math teacher is perfect and divine and wonderful and always true. | |
| And this math teacher says that two and two make four, but I go around saying that two and two make five. | |
| Would that not be an indication that I do not actually believe in what the math teacher says? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| So if you believe in Jesus, you have to follow what Jesus says in your actions. | |
| No, no, just as if you believe in the math teacher who says two and two make four, you have to say that two and two make four. | |
| If you believe in Jesus, you will follow him. | |
| It's not, we don't follow him because we are trying to avoid hell. | |
| We follow him because that's naturally what we're going to do. | |
| Fantastic. | |
| Okay. | |
| So the way that you know if somebody truly believes in Jesus is they're following his teachings, right? | |
| Yeah, we judge people by their actions. | |
| God judges them by their heart, but we can only see the actions. | |
| Okay, okay. | |
| So to believe in Jesus means that you act in a manner consistent with Jesus' teachings, right? | |
| No, so that's where you're met. | |
| No, no, we just went through this. | |
| You can't do that. | |
| No, we say we judge people by their actions and by their truths, shall you know them? | |
