As if that would silence the straw men used by select servants of Rome to “refute” sola fide.

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; “ (2 Corinthians 4:13)

What we do is ultimately a manifestation of what we truly believe, as it moves the will to act in correspondence to what we believe.

“Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, “ (Hebrews 11:33)

“Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: “ (Hebrews 11:35)

One who believes in Allah can be moved to put on the bomb vest to do to kill his enemies. And one who believes in the Lord Jesus will be moved to risk his life to save souls.

If our chief source of security and object of affection is money and material good, so that will be reflected in our life decisions, while if one’s God is the Lord Jesus then such must be considered transitory and expendable because He has faith.

Amen.Well and trully said!

"Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief" "this is the work of God,that ye believe on Him whom He has sent" "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his"

Heb 4:6,John 6:29,Heb 4:10
