The faith of a mustard seed can move mountains
Matthew 18:2-4 King James Version
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

The faithful branch with understanding
(They had oil in their lamps) Matthew 25:3
The simplicity of the gospel (The thief on the cross) God is merciful are you ?
Do you have to repent for salvation? Let’s bring up some points. Christ (Master Vein) verses Paul the apostle!
Hebrews 12:14
King James Version
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness , without which no man shall see the Lord :
1. Strive to enter in
2. Without righteousness no man shall see God
3. Finish the good fight
4. He that endures to the end will be saved
5 . The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom
6. Good and faithful servant (parables)
7. Put your faith and trust in the Christ finished work (+) atonement
8. It’s a straight gate
9. The pure in heart will see God
10. He is the propitiation for our sins
11. If you love me keep my commandments
12. The lazy servant was wicked (cast asunder)
13. He is the only mediator for us. (between GOD and men)
14. Teaching others to break commandments will cause you to be called the least in the Kingdom
15. Is he getting the glory or you?
16. They will be lovers of entertainment in the last days
17. Don't grieve the spirit
One of the places in scripture where we read about grieving the Holy Spirit is in Ephesians 4:29-32. The apostle Paul writes:
“ Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not grieve God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live…. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you .”
Grieving the Holy Spirit - Meaning and Examples: " To grieve means to make sad or sorrowful. It means to cause sorrow, pain, or distress ."
But what makes the Holy Spirit sad or sorrowful ?
Verse 29 says, “ Don’t use foul or abusive language .” The word used here speaks of something that has gone “rotten.” This includes obscene language, profanity, dirty stories, vulgarity, double entendres, etc.
[5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. [6] But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
QUOTE
1 Timothy 6:5-19 KJV
perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Isaiah 53:5
King James Version
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed .
1 John 4:10
King James Version
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins .
People who judge elevating themselves against you are truly lost. At the same time God punishes those he loves.
Give thanks and supplication for everything. Be content even in your brokenness. When people insult you and do all sorts of evil against/to you and you are a child of God you are blessed. Think no ill thoughts of other people. Bless those whom curse YOU! Renew your minds and set it on things from above. Store up treasures for heaven where moths will not get at them. (They won't rote there) If you don't forgive other people their trespasses then God will not forgive you. What will it profit you to gain the whole world and to forfeit your own soul? We did many wonderful works but he tells them he doesn't know them even when they cast out demons. Their works did not impress him. 8:08 am March 11th 2022
Judas Iscariot was already an apostle who sold out the lord and Christ said he is lost the man of perdition. However the thief on cross that Christ saved repented by saying/showing he believed in Christ on the cross and accepting his "just" punishment. Where was Judas faith and trust? (A devil!)
James 2:18 King James Version
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James is not talking about works here... Salvation . He is saying that if a person despises the poor and treats the rich people better they are wicked. He is saying that if a person tries to keep the law and breaks one point they are guilty of breaking all points. He even starts by saying we are justified by faith in our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
FAITH - FAITH
James wasn't necessarily talking about salvation. He was saying that when you do something do it with faith. Jesus said with the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains. Example: You are repairing your car but doubt??? No experience??
Let's examine further
faith
/fāTH/
Learn to pronounce
noun
1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
"this restores one's faith in politicians"
Similar: trust, belief, confidence, conviction
credence, reliance, dependence, optimism, hopefulness, hope, expectation, Opposite: mistrust
2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
"bereaved people who have shown supreme faith"
James is saying show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works. Some people exercise blind faith. (Perhaps irrational thinking) you might call it wishful thinking. You can have faith something is tangible. For example if you have enough money to purchase a new car you know you're going to eventually have that physical object even if you have to get a loan. You can say I put my faith in God or in somebody's healing but you don't see/feel the tangible. In other words you believe to yourself it's going to come to bear fruit but it's a long shot and just similar to a wild guess. Maybe it's the wrong timing or done with the lack of prayer and common sense. Also you could be worshipping the wrong God. But James is saying when I do something tangible by my faith I do it out of belief in the real God and I know that the tangible will be watered and connected and it will definitely bear fruit. This is because he believes in the real God and his faith is in Christ Jesus our lord. He in this heart truly trust God in faith.
After notes: If you are truly in Christ what does that mean? What are the greatest things apostle Peter taught? I think even Apostle Paul showed great love. Even the Apostle John. What can we learn from this? He who does not bear his cross is not worthy of me? Does that mean you will lose yourself Salvation because you don't bare your cross? God will destroy those who destroy the temple because the temple is Holy. Jesus said I don't judge you but there is one who does. In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: " Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the Children of God. "
In my after notes/other though!: People are attracted to easy salvation and there are going to be false converts, back sliders and people with the wrong motives. It is written GOD will give you a new heart of flesh instead of stone. Whom is your lord? (PRAY FOR THEM!)
