Question: If you believe in God, how have you put your faith into action?

From the biblical point of view, there is only one way to put faith into action. You have to believe what God said through His Word enough that you seek to learn, and then you OBEY His Biblical Commandments. From the biblical point of view, what ever you follow and obey is what you truly believe, and what you truly belong to, (Romans 6:14–18).

For example, if I continually obey my sinful nature and I don’t practice turning away from that, then this actually proves that I don’t really believe or belong to God, but I really belong to sin, because if I really believed God was serious about what He says, then I would be serious about turning away from my sin, and running to God to help me overcome it. What I DO proves what I really BELIEVE.

What You DO IS what you Truly BELIEVE

There are 1050 Commandments that believers are required to do in the New Testament. Pick one that you know is doable, and start practicing it. Pray through, and work through your internal garbage until you succeed obeying that instruction.

There are 613 doable Commandments in the Torah of YHWH. Pick one that you know is doable, and start putting that Instruction into practice. Pray through, and work through your internal garbage until you succeed obeying that instruction.

There are about 7487 promises from God to humankind in the Scriptures. The thing is that as believers we are welcome to have every one of those promises, but we can only have those promises when we believe and choose to obey any condition which God has placed upon a particular promise. The fact that we obey the conditions behind the promise is actually what proves to God that we believe Him for that promise. That’s why the conditions are there;
because only people who truly believe God, are going to care enough to learn and practice obeying the conditions that He is placed on a biblical promise.

They will be confronted by their great error on the future Day of Judgment (see Matthew 7:21-23). So, how do people who think they are living righteously actually end up living in sin and lawlessness, and end up promoting sin and lawlessness to other people? That’s crucial to know because we don’t want to end up in this group of people on Judgment Day. The reason that this will happen to so many “Christian Believers,” is because Read more…

Is It Curiosity or Gossip?

By Brother Michel Lankford Question: Is asking about someone out of curiosity still gossip and still a sin? Everything first hinges upon answering the “WHAT,” the “WHY,” and the “HOW,” of any situation. It is the true answer to those questions that ultimately determine whether or not you are sinning. First, always make sure that when you are asking about an issue of theological importance, (such as, “is this a sin?“); You are ALWAYS defining your key terms the same way that God defines things in His Word. Remember, changing God’s Definitions for things is a sin, for certain (Isaiah Read more…
