Faith needs (the teaching of) grace so that we can have obedience that is in His name (Rom 1:5); Without this teaching, we are not able to deny ungodliness and lusts, so that we can live godly in this present time (Titus 2:12).

Has God put someone in your life to impart this spiritual gift (of grace in all of its teaching) so that you can be established in the faith? (Rom 1:11); If not, you are ignorant of the righteousness of God, meaning; you cannot live just by His faith because you haven

Faith needs (the teaching of) grace so that we can have obedience that is in His name (Rom 1:5)...

Through whom [Jesus Christ, v.4] we have received grace and apostleship unto the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of His name,"

This verse does not say that faith needs the "teaching" of grace. Grace is freely "received" as is apostleship by means of obedience of faith among the Gentiles. It is because of their obedience that the apostles received grace. Grace is received by means of obedience (Rom. 16:26)

I think that, since your first sentence is foundational to your argument, the rest of this teaching is unsound. Faith is given freely by God, through grace, and is imparted by the action of obedience to the Gospel of Christ (Rom. 6:16; 16:26, cf. 1 Pet. 1:2,14; )

We can only have the faith OF Christ providing God (the Father) crucifies US with Christ, so that it would no longer be

'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

Acts 2:21 (New American Standard Bible)

:emot-pray:

It is the cross of Christ by which we have been crucified, not are being crucified (Rom. 6:6; Gal. 6:14; 2:20).

Bless You Dear Brother

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, " It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John 19:30 (New American Standard Bible)

I Looked Up The Scriptures You Gave And It Looks Like The Work Of Our Salvation Done At Calvary Really Was Finished

knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; Romans 6:6 (NASB)

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Galatians 6:14 (NASB)

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20 (NASB)

It is because of this fact that believers are enabled to put away the practices of flesh and die to them daily (Luke 9:23; 1 Cor. 15:31; Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:5).

Thank You Again

From The Scriptures You Gave Brother Even I Can Clearly See I Am To Take Up My Cross And Follow The LORD Jesus

And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. Luke 9:23 (NASB)

I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 1 Corinthians 15:31 (NASB)

for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:13 (NASB)

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. Colossians 3:5 (NASB)

To die daily requires the active participation of the believers to, by faith, put away the practices of the flesh and the old man.

Hallelujah!

Abide In Jesus

You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:3-5 (NASB)

The Only Good Shepherd

"All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:8-11 (NASB)

And Feast Upon The Holy Bible It Is The Delight Of The Heart After God's Heart

Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16 (NASB)

I Am HIS!

Glory! Glory! Glory!

Amen!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
