Summary
We are saved by grace alone, not by works. Faith will always be manifested, evidenced, and proven by good works. A profession of faith is the first evidence that faith is present, but it is a work!

all right listen guys i get it many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.620
because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition
00:00:09.880
of the lord praise god for you and that endeavor however algorithms are a thing shadow banning
00:00:16.860
sadly is a thing and one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of
00:00:23.380
this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us
00:00:28.880
a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast
00:00:35.220
with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
00:00:41.600
Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:46.720
God. You're listening to Daily Truth. We don't often think about this, but a credible profession
00:00:56.480
of faith is a work. A credible profession of faith, in terms of theological categories,
00:01:07.260
it is a work. And it is, in most instances, if not virtually all, it is the first good work.
00:01:18.140
In other words, a profession is not faith itself.
00:01:25.160
A profession of Christ as Lord is the first fruit of faith.
00:01:30.700
It is the first evidence, the first sign that faith is there, that faith is present.
00:01:42.300
we are saved by grace alone through faith alone and not by works so that no one would boast
00:01:49.380
but for the one who has faith faith will express itself through works in other words as Martin
00:01:57.760
Luther once said we are saved by faith alone but the faith that saves is never alone we're not
00:02:04.280
saved by faith and works we are saved by faith alone but a true saving quality genuine authentic
00:02:12.200
faith that actually does provide salvation, that saving faith will always be accompanied by good
00:02:19.000
works. Faith will always be manifest, evidenced, proven by works. And one of the first good works
00:02:27.480
that evidences faith, proves faith, is a profession. A profession. And so when the
00:02:34.600
Scripture says if any man believes in his heart and confesses with his mouth that Jesus is Lord,
00:02:39.640
he will be saved. That is not meant to say if anyone believes in his heart, a.k.a. faith,
00:02:46.260
professes with his mouth, a.k.a. works, he will be saved. In other words, faith plus works equal
00:02:51.700
salvation. No, it is if anyone believes in his heart, has faith, he will be saved. And immediately
00:02:57.100
one of the first fruits of that salvation is that he will profess. And to get real practical in terms
00:03:03.900
of application. This better be true. Otherwise, the mute will not inherit the kingdom. The
00:03:17.180
mentally deficient, the vegetable, will not inherit the kingdom. The infant who dies in
1.00
00:03:28.520
infancy, who cannot physically profess, will not inherit the kingdom.
00:03:36.580
But I would argue that they will if they have faith.
00:03:41.920
What the scripture is saying is that faith bears fruit.
00:03:55.960
but but the point is that if faith is present and if practical providence allows this is what
00:04:05.320
it will look like assuming the person is able to speak if they have faith they'll confess
00:04:13.180
christ in his lordship but it is not faith plus the work of confessing christ as lord equal
00:04:20.720
salvation it is faith alone grants salvation and will immediately evidence itself by good works
00:04:29.000
one of the first good works being a confession of christ as lord can i be frank with you for
00:04:35.380
just a second right here at the end look some of you guys you're financially supporting this
00:04:40.280
ministry and from the bottom of my heart i say thank you i cannot thank you enough however some
00:04:47.400
of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be
00:04:53.940
honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian
0.97
00:05:01.340
political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks
00:05:09.560
that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
00:05:15.500
We are living in a recession right now regardless.
00:05:20.260
Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
00:05:25.200
You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you, but you could
00:05:33.800
I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
00:05:39.280

00:05:53.460
We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review and our podcast shows up for more people.
00:06:00.300
