(Coert) NEARER, MY GOD, BY YOU
THE LAW OF MOSES AND OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST GO HAND IN HAND. ONE CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER.
For you to know what sin is, you must know the Law of Moses. But the Law of Moses cannot save you. You can obey the entire Law in its entirety fully – without faith in Jesus Christ you are absolutely doomed to fall.
The same applies to your faith in Jesus Christ. If you say you believe in Jesus Christ but your actions/your works/your fruit on your tree do not reflect or prove it, it means that you are a bad tree. Your evidence of repentance is false and the spirit that lives within you is not genuinely from God. If you truly love Jesus Christ, you will obey His Words. Hear the Word of the Lord today. It is written:
LUKE 3:7-9
The people went out in great numbers to be baptized by John. He said to them: “You snakes, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Rather, produce fruit that proves that you have repented. And do not say to yourselves: ‘We have Abraham as our forefather,’ because I tell you: God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones. The axe is already lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
MEANING/INTERPRETATION:
Good fruit reveals genuine repentance
FAITH GOES HAND IN HAND WITH ACTIONS AND ACTIONS GO HAND IN HAND WITH FAITH
JAMES 2:14-26
What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims that he has faith, but his actions do not confirm it? Can such faith save a person? Suppose there is a brother or a sister who does not have clothes and suffers from hunger day after day, and suppose one of you says to them: “May all go well with you; go and dress warmly and eat enough,” but you do not give them what they need to live, what good is that? The same applies to faith: if it does not result in actions, it is simply dead.
But someone may say: “One has faith and the other has actions.” Good, then show me your faith without actions, and I will show you my faith through my actions. Do you believe that there is only one God? That is right. The evil spirits believe it too – and they tremble with fear.
You foolish person, do you want proof that faith without actions is useless? Our forefather Abraham placed his son Isaac on the altar. Was it not on the basis of what he did that God justified him? You see, therefore, that his faith went hand in hand with his actions and that it was only through actions that his faith was made complete.
In this way the Scripture was fulfilled which says: “Abraham believed in God, and God justified him,” and he was called a friend of God. You see, therefore, that a person is justified on the basis of his actions and not only on the basis of his faith.
Was Rahab the pr******te not also justified on the basis of what she did when she hid the spies and helped them escape by another way? A body that does not breathe is dead. In the same way, faith that does not result in actions is also dead.
REVELATION 20:12/15 (Afrikaans 33/53 translation)
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book, the book of life, was opened. And the dead were judged according to what was written in the books, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS/THEIR ACTIONS. And if it was found that anyone was not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
CONFESSION OF SIN AND DELIVERANCE ARE CRITICAL AND VERY IMPORTANT
2 CORINTHIANS 7:1
Beloved, these promises are also for us. Let us therefore cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, and devote ourselves completely to Him in obedience to God.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:34
Come to your senses and stop sinning. Some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Please have a look at my two teachings at JIL Ministries. Here is the “link” or the link to the two messages.

Every Word has been substantiated and confirmed by the Holy Spirit. Make time for yourself. Pull the handbrake on your life. The time to repent was already yesterday. The time is now – not tomorrow. Do not postpone or put it off – tomorrow may be too late.
