[quote:Seek^:MV81MjAxNTQyXzk1NjczMTk1XzI0RkRDQUY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 77985515:MV81MjAxNTQyXzk1NjcyNjY4XzQ2OTVDRDNE] Acts 16:30-31 “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” In our church age right now we are saved by faith only. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” [/quote] You are right that faith through grace (that only God can give) saves a person but faith alone is dead. True faith through God’s grace produces works! One of the works that comes through deep faith is giving up the flesh, people overlook this as so called “works”. God does not tempt us, temptation is from the evil that surrounds us in the spiritual realm. It is so hard for a novice to not live in the flesh because it is a constant battle. For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another Gal. 5:17 Your spirit is like a muscle and you must work it in prayer and in giving up the flesh which is your true worship to God. By striving in giving up the flesh, you perfect your worship to God and become stronger and stronger, day by day, to resist temptations sent like fiery darts from the evil one. That’s how it all works and is the definition of the word “repent” that Jesus used so often. Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. Romans 12:1 :hf: [/quote]
