No Mercy

James 2
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
 
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
 
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
 
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
 
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
 
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
 
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
 
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
 
God can do anything. He is sovereign. But make no mistake, this relationship with God is reciprocal. That means that although God can do everything, he wants you to take responsibility and work too. We pray for healing, and do not go to a doctor, we pray for financial blessings but do not work, we pray for unsaved relatives to get saved and do not talk to them about sin and death brought on by sin, we pray for peace and unleash anger on the world, we pray to understand and yet we seek only to be understood, we pray for anything and do not position ourselves in any like manner to receive the blessing. We show great faith in constantly praying, believing that God hears us, and yet that faith is not producing the work God expects from us. Remember, God created the perfect world, he made it so there was no death. Satan chose to rebel, and Adam and Eve chose to follow.
We, mankind, brought sin and death into the world. If you ask yourself why does this happen or does not happen, it is because that perfect union with God was broken. We now live in a time where we must start with faith. THe belief that God is who and what he says he is. Then we have to allow ourselves to be servants to him. And if there is any of you who believe that a servant does not work, then please re-read the bible. Jesus came first as a servant. He showed us what the work of the spirit. Yes, he showed loved. But he also told people to stop sinning. He saved the harlot, and then told her to sin no more. He broke bread with those whom the law said he should not. But during the bread breaking he was preaching about the will of the father.
Jesus spoke more about hell and the consequences of sin than any other man in the bible. That is the work of the spirit. We are commanded to follow him, to do HIS will. Be ye doers of the word, not just hearers!! Faith without work is dead. Can you hear that brethren. If you say you have faith, and do not see clearly the work before you, then your faith is dead. Translated, you are not a follower of Christ if you do not do it the way he says do it. You do not have the authority to change HIS plan. There is only one way to get this done. HIS WAY!!! For he will have judgment without mercy. Oh please hear that, no mercy. Yes, the Jesus that loves is saying that for the disobedient he will have no mercy. Mercy is that gift we are all counting on to be saved. To have faith and no works is to forego that mercy. Jesus has made it clear.

Believers of Biblical Truth

At Believers of Biblical Truth, we are wholly committed to preaching the unfiltered, uncompromised truth of God’s Word. Our ministry, firmly grounded in scripture, relies on the guidance of the Holy Spirit—not the influences of a sinful world. As we present the Bible’s teachings, we do so in the spirit of 2 Timothy 3:16, which reminds us that “all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” Through each message, we seek to present the truth in a way that is faithful to God’s inerrant Word and pleasing in His sight, guided by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, as instructed in John 16:13: “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.” Our sermons are not designed to entertain or tickle ears; they are solemn presentations of God’s direction and commands for our lives. In today’s world, where truth is often distorted to fit human desires, we emphasize reliance on the Holy Spirit and scripture alone. We heed the warnings of Ephesians 6:11-12 to “put on the whole armour of God,” that we may “stand against the wiles of the devil,” choosing to remain steadfastly in the Word, rejecting Satan’s deception, and grounding ourselves in God’s eternal truth. We believe in using scriptural authority to address life’s toughest issues, with an unwavering dedication to God’s truth. Each sermon is followed by a round-table discussion where our dedicated team addresses questions with the utmost care, ensuring that every answer reflects God’s wisdom. We invite all who are seeking clarity to email us at thebbt2021@gmail.com, where questions are welcomed, encouraged, and answered thoughtfully by our team. This ministry is a place for growth, correction, and alignment with God’s Word, as we strive to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) by spreading the gospel boldly. We recognize the Bible’s call not to engage in foolish arguments but rather to focus on edifying one another and upholding the truth. As 2 Timothy 2:23-24 counsels, we are to “avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they do gender strifes,” and to serve as “the servant of the Lord,” who “must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.” The Bible’s truths are absolute, not subject to human desires or interpretations. We stand by the conviction that “truth is not hate,” even if it brings discomfort. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that “the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,” and we believe that its power should be wielded in love to draw others to the cross, not as a weapon of condemnation but as an invitation to eternal life in Jesus Christ. In a world often at odds with the gospel, we are compelled to preach the unchangeable truth, recognizing that the only relationship of lasting value is our relationship with Jesus Christ. Our virtual church is enriched by the insights of great theologians who have profoundly influenced Christian thought, including Calvin, Wesley, Gill, Henry, Luther, Edwards, Ellicott, Spurgeon, Baucham, Grudem, Barnes, Clarke, Benson, MacArthur, Graham, N.T. Wright, Keener, Fee, Bruce, McKnight, deSilva, and Sproul, along with others who have faithfully articulated the gospel. Though we rely on these wise voices, our foundation remains the Bible itself, and we uphold the teachings of those who reinforce its truths. Stay connected with Believers of Biblical Truth for regular teachings and discussions: Facebook: facebook.com/believersofbiblicaltruth Blog: fromthecrosstothechristian.wordpress.com At Believers of Biblical Truth, we are here to spread the gospel with clarity, conviction, and reverence. Prepare to be challenged by God’s Word as we seek to “walk in truth” (3 John 1:4) and draw closer to Christ in spirit and in truth.

I praise God for letting me hear what you think!!
