II Tim. 2:19, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, havingthis seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

This scripture is a command for the ones who are already saved. Unfortunately, you can be saved and still fall in iniquity. That is why you need to run back to Jesus and depart from wickedness, iniquity. We don’t get saved because of good works. God saves us. That is Ephesians 2:10, but that is a whole different subject that is not part of this teaching.

I never said God takes sin lightly. Whether you are saved or unsaved, He doesn’t. But you can’t force or change the hand of God upon sinners by corrupting the plan of salvation. It is flat out wrong. It puts pressure on new converts thinking that they must live holy lives. I believe so many reject the true Gospel because, unfortunately, they don’t think they are worthy enough ever to live that type of holy life. Another unfortunate thing about that false doctrine, that damnable heresy is that it leads to false conversions in the church today, because they believe it is their effort, their cleaned-up program on their life of sin, which they thought was a requirement to be saved. I repeat none of this is God’s plan of salvation. It goes against everything in II Corinthians 11:3-4 which is another gospel that corrupts the simplicity that is in Christ. A false gospel that leads to ruin and loss because it diverts away from the simplicity, the generosity that is in Christ Jesus. That is what Paul preached. That is what the disciples preached. That is what Jesus died for and rose again, that gives us hope. Nothing we can do will ever please God if it is by our own human efforts, trying to make ourselves right with Him and leaving out His Son. Sorry, only Jesus is the way, He provided the truth, and He will give us eternal life if we put our trust and confidence in Him. Besides, He will work out all the other things in our life that need His attention.

There are professing Christians who for many years never knew or understood the salvation plan of God, the simplicity that is in Christ. It is my mission that there be no doubts about what God’s word says on this subject. Keeping trusting our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

In 2 Corinthians 9:7 it reads, “God loveth a cheerful giver.” The Greek word for cheerful is Hilaros which means when someone is prompt to do something, they are ready in mind, with a joyful heart. In the Septuagint it also means to cause to shine. Today I am looking for Hilaros Givers who are ready and full of joy for the opportunity to cause others to shine by hearing, learning, and growing in God’s Word.

Join with us today and participate as a Hilaros Giver. If you wish to participate use the following link:www.TeachingFaith.com
