2.Timothy.3:16. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
People love the reading of scripture and sermons on exhortation and building you up but when you start preaching doctrine and giving instruction on how to live, some people hate that they would rather you tickled their ears and made them feel good and my preaching is not appreciated, or hated by some. Good Doctrine is the Key for keeping you from false doctrine and doctrines of Demons in the last days.
Doctrine. Strong’s Concordance.1319: didaskalia and 1322 didache instruction –doctrine, learning, teaching.that which is taught, doctrine
1.Tim.1:3. 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1.tim.4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
1.Tim4:16. 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you
Opening Text To Make A Start.
Faith Through Grace, Not Works
Ephesian.2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
HOLY SPIRT
Eph.2:18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Convict The World (Explain) John16: 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
John.16 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
WORD. FAITH.
The word creates faith.
Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of God.
Faith. Strongs.4102, pistis from 3982 persuasion, conviction convince of truth, assured, by extention I believe, trust, & rely on
Being convinced, and persuaded of something is faith as a noun, the Devil believes and he is not saved and many people believe that Christ is real and died for our sin, they go to church Christmas and Easter and yet they are not saved. But when you say I do believe and I will trust you to save me and now the noun of faith has become a verb an action and now we have an act of faith and this will be repeated over and over for the just shall live by faith. The Holy Spirit through the word will birth faith in you by convincing and persuading you that you can trust God to save you
The great blondin On June 30 1858 Charles Blondin, arguably one of the best tightrope walkers of all time, stretched a tightrope across Niagara Falls. People came by train from Buffalo, New York and Toronto, Canada to see him walk across the tightrope that was suspended high above the raging fall Is. As he stepped onto the tightrope, a hush fell over the crowd. He carried with him a 40-foot-long balance bar weighing 39 pounds. When he finally stepped foot on the Canadian side, a huge cheer arose from the crowd. Then they began to shout in unison, “Blondin, Blondin, Blondin …“ Finally Blondin held up his hand asking for the crowd’s attention. He asked the crowd, “How many of you believe I can put someone on my shoulders and walk across?” First one person shouted,’ I believe”, and then a second and a third, until the whole crowd was shouting, “We believe! We believe! We believe!” Then Blondin shouted, “Who would like to be that someone?” All of a sudden everyone became quiet. They all said they believed, but no one was willing to risk their lives.
GRACE. By grace through faith Grace.G5485 charis the spiritual condition of one governed by the power of divine grace, (Meaning) His gifts good will, loving-kindness, favour, benefits, rewards.
Most people see grace as God’s favour, but you can’t have grace without the working of His power.
Example. God wants to save you from your sins, it’s a free gift you cant earn it, it’s grace, God’s favour His good will toward you, his benefits for you, so you say yes Lord I trust you. That can’t change you without the working of His power. You have a new nature you changed on the inside, your thinking has changed you were born from above that the working of His power. The just shall live by faith, His grace and favour might be on you to be a Pastor, the Holy Spirit may be able to convince and persuade you through the word and the leading of His spirit building faith in you and you decide to trust Him to bring that about in you life but without the supernatural working of grace the working of his power it can’t work in the Spirit only in the flesh
(Eph 3:7) Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power.
(2Co 12:9) But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me
RIGHTEOUS. We now need to add righteousness in here
Rom.4:1-6 (New King James 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, (which is Faith) and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Righteous G1342 dikaio; equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy: just, meet, right Brown.Dict vol.3.P.353 In ordinary Greek it meant to fit into the laws of society or the Gods or face consequencesThat made you a righteous citizen. It means meeting the conditions of the one who set them
His conditions are to believe in His Son call upon the name of the Lord repent etc and you become righteous Gods grace His favour is upon you to save you for He wishes that none should perish, the Holy Spirt through the word or preacher etc is able to build faith in you by convincing you that you can be saved and become righteous by meeting His condition for salvation by calling upon the name of the Lord, repenting and confessing you sins. You say I believe I will trust you and now the supernatural working of His power saves you for you cant do It. Greater is He that in you than He that is in the world 1 John 4:4. And now I am righteous with these five doctrines that cannot be separated working together.
I Am The Righteousness Of God In Christ
2.Cor.5 : 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him..
You just got saved you are righteous that’s your Legal standing we are righteous we don’t always do everything right meeting the standards of the one who sets them. That’s why the scripture says
Titus.2:12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age
2.Tm.2.22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

1 John.3:7 He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
2 Timothy.3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
There is a new doctrine about that says, you were made righteous by grace a free gift which you did nothing for it but to receive it and now you are saying we have to pursue and practice righteousness, Stop it they say for you are going back to good works and besides that God paid for our sins past present and future once and for all so why are you confessing the same sins all the time. Stop it we have been doing it all wrong for more than 2,000 years.
Jesus Died Once For AllTop of Form 1 John 2:2 ESV / 98 helpful votes He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. Hebrews 10:12 ESV / But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
They say to you think the Bible says If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. However they say 1. Jn.1:9. However that doesn’t apply for 1:9 was written to non-Christians so stop confessing all your sins because grace has it covered, because if you confess all the times what if you miss one. So just stop it. And besides you keep confessing the same sins all the time. This is a strange new doctrine a different gospel to the one we have always believed. 2.Cor.11:4. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it. New. KJV. No, we will not
Even if
1.John1. was written to non Christians chatpter. 2:1. My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. And the rest of the chapters, Brethren, my little children, Christians here are told to confess sins and if your honest you know you have sinned since getting saved.The whole New Testament says do this do that put away wickedness. And James. 5: 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. And five of the seven churches in Revelation are told to repent. Case Closed.
There doctrine does have some truth we do need to stop confessing and for sins He has already forgiven. We need to accept that forgiveness
Colossians.2: 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
What about we never confess because all sins are forgiven past present and future. If you confess what if you missed one then your lost. Answere Grace, is awesome He made one sacrifice for sins past present and future, grace does indeed cover for new Christians would sin all the time not yet knowing you must forgive etc, we are being changed from glory to glory if grace didn’t cover you would be lost the next day
Hebrews 10:12 ESV / But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
Having said that don’t take liberties you shouldn’t. 1.John.3:. 5And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8He who sins is of the devil, 9Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.10Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother
We do sin and commentators say some translations misleed for in the Greek its in a continuous sense so it means to practice or as the NIV says to continue. Yes we may sin from time to time but we don’t live a lifestyle of practicing or continuing in deliberate sins.
If you are sinning all the time thinking grace covers everything, think again and read that verse again
Or Matthew 7: 21 “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. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me,
1.Cor.3: 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
God’s Grace is awesome you can lose your rewards and still be saved. So why do we play games with God wanting a saviour but not a lord just remember if you keep deliberately sinning you may not be saved, why not be more careful watching our life and doctrine closely. Why do we want to grieve the Spirit Eph.4:30 Don’t we want to hear well done thy good and faithful servant? As I get older I want to please Him don’t you
| If Grace can cover why does He ask us to confess our sin and repent |
Grace is not to cover your sin so you can keep sinning its His grace, mercy and favour on you and the working of His power as you trust Him to give you victory over sin. You don’t plan to sin or miss his best but if you do you confess it.
Fellowship
Php 2:1 Therefore, if there is any, if there is any fellowship in the Spirit,
1.John.1: 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
Fellowship G2842 koinōnia the share which one has in anything, participation, partnership, intimacy
Don’t grieve the spirit. Eph.4:30
Thayer 3076 to affect with sadness, cause grief, to throw into sorrow to grieve, offend displease, hurt,
Your in a marriage covenant, a partnership if you are not treating each other properly you are still married but not a close partnership. If I don’t say will you forgive for that or you don’t say sorry your not close or sweet. Thats the same with God if we don’t do things His way it spoils the relationship and partnership
Revelation 3:20 ESV Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
NLT. New Living Translation. 20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.
In this verse they are Christians the relationship is not close any more so He says repent I am knocking on the door of your heart, I correct those I love verse, 19 so lets share a meal together and be friends. Repentace and confession keeps the relationship tight and sweet
Live A Righteous life
So I have legally been made righteous by faith as a free gift that’s my legal standing so now how do I live righteous, practice and pursue righteousness by the Spirt without getting into works
Righteousness is revealed to us by faith over a lifetime for right living.
Rom.1: 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Revealed G601 apokalupto From G575 to take off the cover, that is, disclose: – reveal.
Explain How Righteouness and Faith Work Together using Examples
The process is the same as getting saved Example you are not living righteously in your marriage your not meeting the standard of the one who set them
1.Pet.3; 7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
There are many other passages about marriage in the Bible
Gods grace and favour is for you to live right, righteously in your marriage for you to meet His standards.The Holy Spirit through the word builds faith and believing convincing and persuading you that this is the right, righteous way and you say yes Lord I will trust you to bring that about in my life and now the working of His power kicks in as you trust Him for you cant do it on your own however greater is He that is In us than He that is in the world. 1.John.4:4. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Philippians.4:13. So now I am living righteously doing thing right by His standards the right way to do things is revealed to me in every act of faith. So you are living righteously. You are not practicing sin, however if you do fail confess keeping the relationship tight, sweet restored and keep living righteously. Remember grace is not to cover your sin and to let you keep doing things your way but is the working of His power to give you victory
Rom.6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Remember Grace gives victory over sin, its not sin all you like and Grace will overlook it
Sometimes grace favour,rewards are poured out on you without you even asking. Not always the just shall live by Faith. Rom.1:17
As you can now see the five doctrines are glued together and they always work together and are never separated.
Remember The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Every act of faith has the righteousness of God in it. Righteousness for your legal position to be called righteous was a one of event you met his standards for salvation now you need to meet them in your marriage ,your character your fiances etc. Your not doing this in the flesh for the Spirit revealed It to you and now you are trusting Him by faith for the working of His power to work it out as it is written, “The just shall live by faith. So your not anymore continuing in sin your walking in righteousness and if you do fail you confess to keep the fellowship tight with nothing between you
Note.
- Understanding Of Righteousness. Our Own Righteousness Isaiah.64.6- Is as Filthy Rags.
- We can never be saved my meeting our own standards, only by meeting His standards
