What faith that saves a believer?

Is it his faith in Christ or the faith of Christ? A true believer knows how he is being saved unless you are a reprobate. 2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? A reprobate will answer differently from what is directly stated and written in the scriptures. Apostle Paul, our Apostle to the Gentiles directly states what faith really saves the true believer. He wrote to Timothy , 2 Timothy 3:15 KJV And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. He said "salvation through faith which in Christ Jesus. It is the faith in Christ that saves . Apostle Paul answered to the Gentile Phillippian Jailor when he asked Acts 16:30-31 KJV And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? [31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ...

The Chapter of commission

 (Read) Matthew Chapter 28 Four major things have I seen in this particular chapter: FIRST, the Lord Jesus who was RISEN from the dead (Matthew 28:1-6).  Matthew 28:1-6 KJV In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. [2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. [3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: [4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. [5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. [6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. SECONDLY, the outburst of excitement which will not be hindered from going and sharing, even if they were tried to (Matthew 28:7-15). Matthew 28:7-15 KJV And go quic...

Explaining New Testament way of Giving an Offering

 Exodus 35:5 Bisaya 5 Pagkuha kamo gikan diha kaninyo og usa ka halad ngadto sa GINOO: si bisan kinsa nga iya sa usa ka matinguhaon nga kasingkasing, itugot kaniya ang pagdala niini, usa ka halad sa GINOO; bulawan, ug plata, ug tumbaga, Exodus 35:5 KJV English 5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, - This verse is in the Old Testament showing how the Old Testament Believers should bring an offering unto their God.  - Despite being commanded to bring Tithes into God's storehouse and offerings, God made a second the motion to make it heartily and with all willingness as it must be.  - These then are repeated in the New Testament or what we normally called New Covenant. And this can be read in  2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." - Gi...

Seeking things that are to last

      People tend to focus on the worldly and monetary things that will surely won't last forever. To clarify this issue, those things I mentioned are not wrong, yet, making it as our only aim in life made it such.  The Bible taught us to seek God's Kingdom and righteousness, see Matthew 6:33, to change this kind of Human perspective. Prior to that verse, Jesus reminded His listeners to consider the birds which didn't sow yet God took care of them; the lilys in the field which were dressed with such Ingrandious ornaments.  We then told that if He cares for them all, then how much more to His children. But please Seek and Obey Him first, blessings will just follow.  Colossians 3:1-2 KJV "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." By doing so, we are not just planting for this monetaty life, but also in our eternity that...
