did you know there's a type of faith
that is dangerous to have that Jesus
himself condemns and that God will never
approve but many people are going to
walk up to the presence of the Lord with
this faith in their hand thinking that
it's the ticket to heaven but God's
going to say I don't approve of that
Faith depart from me I never knew you so
make sure you pay attention because
we're going to learn about the most
dangerous type of Faith the most useless
type of faith that a Christian can claim
to have Look what Jesus says here in the
Book of Matthew but before I read the
book of Matthew I want to read you what
the brother of Jesus James in chapter 2:
26 says look what James says about faith
because just like today back in those
days there was many people who just said
all I have to do is just say I believe
in Jesus and I'm saved and James became
very upset at that because of course
Jesus was his brother but also he was a
Christian that believed and walked by
faith with the Lord Jesus Christ and
when he would hear people say well all I
have to do is believe and just say I'm a
Christian and I'm good all I have to do
is just say that I believe in in Jesus
and that he died on the cross and I'm
good I'm saved that's all I have to do
James became very upset and he shares a
lot about faith without works but I want
to focus in on what he says here James
chapter 2: 26 look what he says for as
the body apart from the spirit is dead
so also Faith apart from works is dead
so James is saying just like a body
without a spirit is dead so is faith
without works in other words people are
walking around with dead Faith why
because they say they believe in Jesus
but their lifestyle is not matching that
they believe in Jesus now this doesn't
mean that people are saved by works of
course not many times when teachings
like this are being taught people can
confuse that and they can say oh he's
saying or they're saying that you need
to do Works to be saved no no no pay
attention that's not what we're saying
I'm not saying that you need to do
something to be saved I'm saying when
somebody's saved they start to do
something when somebody's saved the
proof is in their lifestyle when
somebody is saved of course they're not
perfect they're not Flawless but when
somebody is saved their desires change
the sins that they used to feel so
comfortable and they didn't feel no
remorse and they didn't feel no type of
ill feeling about those sins now because
they're saved even though they might
have an error even though they might
have a flaw now because they're saved
they no longer feel comfortable about it
they no longer feel good about it I
heard a pastor say this and I agree with
it he said when Jesus saved you he
didn't make it to where you were never
going to sin again he made it to where
you were never going to sin and feel
good about it ever again when you are
saved and you have the Holy Spirit the
holy spirit will no longer let you live
in sin Feeling Good Feeling peacefully
never so when somebody is saved James
says like the spirit apart from the body
is dead in other words the body without
the spirit is not life he says that's
the same way faith without works is dead
what's the most dangerous type of faith
in the world what's what's the type of
faith that God does not approve what's
the type of faith that many people are
going to be holding in their hand
walking up to heaven thinking that it's
going to be the ticket into heaven but
God is going to look at them and say I
don't know you I don't approve of that
Faith depart from me you workers of
lawlessness what type of faith is it
dead faith faith that is just words but
faith that doesn't have the actions of
the Holy Spirit pushing it now remember
you're not going to be perfect you're
not going to be Flawless but a Christian
even though they fail the Bible says the
Lord will raise them back up seven times
the Bible tells a when you sin when you
fail the Lord I write you these things
so that you would not sin but if you do
sin confess your sins for Jesus is
faithful and just to forgive you and
wash you of all your sins a Christian is
not going to want to stay in the life
that they used to live a Christian is
going to want to get up out of that sin
a Christian is not going to feel
comfortable with sin a Christian is
going to want to get out of that sin and
if that's you if you're in a sin and you
don't feel comfortable then that's proof
that the holy spirit is in your life and
the Holy Spirit is pulling you back to
Jesus the holy spirit is drawing you
back to that straight and narrow road
and what we need to do as Christians is
confess our sins for Jesus is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins this is
the most dangerous type of Faith what
type of Faith the faith that is just
words but doesn't have actions behind it
God will not approve of that faith and
look what Jesus says here it's one of
the most terrifying scriptures in all
the Bible well I'm actually going to
read two stories that Jesus gives and
these are the most terrifying verses in
the whole Bible that a lot of people
read and they're scared about them but I
want to tell you you don't have to be
scared about them Jesus is speaking
about these situations these scenarios
he's giving us an Insight look into the
last days so that you and I won't have
to end up like this he's not telling you
this to scare you he's telling us this
to save us so let's read and before I
read do me a favor if you're not
subscribed subscribe I'm going to be
posting five to six videos every single
week Lord willing so if you're not
subscribed subscribe and turn on those
notifications so that you can be alerted
every time I post a brand new video so
sub subscribe and turn on those
notifications now let's continue to read
look at the type of Faith that's
dangerous the type of faith that God
does not approve of but why is Jesus
telling us this not so we can be
condemned but so that we won't walk in
this dead Faith look what he says here
Matthew 7: 21- 27 he actually gives two
stories back to back now let's pay very
close attention to these two stories
because Jesus himself is the one giving
these two stories so pay attention he
says this not everyone who says to me
lord lord they're saying the right
things not everyone who says to me Lord
Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven
but the one who does the will of my
father who is in heaven so that's
exactly what James was saying the same
way a body without a spirit is dead
that's the same way faith without works
is dead Jesus is saying the same exact
thing he said not everyone who just says
it's not just about saying this is not
talking about a Christian with errors
this is not talking about a Christian
with faults this is not talking about a
Believer who's running the race but
might still have failures might still
stumble this is not talking about those
people this is talking about people who
just say well I believe in Jesus well I
believe in the Son of God I believe he
died on the cross I believe he
resurrected on the third day but they
really don't believe it they really
don't accept it he's saying you can't
just say something you can't just say I
believe the light is red and then cross
the light you can't just say I believe
that's a stop sign and you never stop if
you really believe the light is red
you're going to stop if you really
believe that's a stop sign you're going
to stop you can't just say something and
then your actions not walk according
with it Jesus is saying not everyone who
just says Lord Lord will enter the
kingdom of heaven but look what he says
but only those who do the will of my
father who is in heaven that's real
faith when you're doing the will of the
father and then he says this on that day
what day the day of judgment he says on
that day many will say to me Lord Lord
again they're seeming spiritual they
have the right lingo they're talking the
talk and they're they're they're they're
saying what they got to say but they're
not walking the walk he said on that day
many will say to me Lord Lord did we not
prophesy he they even had gifts of the
Spirit they even had had the gifts many
people are confused by that how can they
have those gifts how can God use them to
do those things but they not be saved
cuz let me tell you something God gives
graciously and God gives gifts that's
Grace We're saved by grace and God gives
gifts by Grace but look what he's saying
I don't just want you to have a gift and
depend on the gift thinking the gift is
what is proving your salvation he says
no he says this on that day many will
say to me Lord Lord did we not prophesy
in your name which literally means
preaches did we not prophesy in your
name cast out demons in your name oh
that's very popular nowadays everybody's
casting out demons right everybody's
casting out demons nowadays did we not
prophesy in your name did we not cast
out demons in your name and do many
mighty works in your name and then I
will declare to them I never knew you
depart from me you workers of
lawlessness he said I didn't know you
you weren't walking in my words you were
walking in lawlessness what is
lawlessness sin he said you didn't
practice my word you practice your own
sinful desires you never walked
according to my word I don't know you
Jesus said if you say Lord Lord that
don't mean nothing only those who do the
will of my father now remember this is
not talking about a struggling believer
this is not talking about a believer
that stumbles and gets back up these is
talking about people who just said Lord
Lord but never try to live for God he
tells them that's not good enough just
saying that you believe he is Lord Lord
doesn't mean anything are you obeying
the words of the father are you walking
in the words of the father now right
after this Jesus gives another story
back to back something about Jesus he
always loved to give confirmation and
then look what he says here verse 24- 27
everyone then who hears these words of
mine and does them will be like a wise
man who built his house on the rock the
rain fell the floods came the winds blew
beat against that house but it did not
fall because it had been founded on the
Rock how was the house founded on the
Rock by hearing and doing by hearing and
practicing when we hear and we practice
we are building on The Rock when we hear
and we do we are founding on the Firm
Foundation but then then Jesus also
speaks about people who hear and don't
practice here it goes this is the most
dangerous type of faith and everyone who
hears these words of mine and does not
do them will be like a fool that built
his house on the sand the rain fell the
floods came and the winds blew and beat
against that house and it fell and great
was the fall of it Jesus said do you
want your house to last hear my words
and practice them do you want your house
to crash hear my words and don't
practice them why is this a dangerous
type of Faith because many people are
thinking well all I have to do is just
say Lord Lord all I have to do is just
say I believe in Jesus and I'm good no
Jesus said yes you have to believe in me
but then you have to prove that you
believe in me by
practicing what I
say when somebody loves basketball
they're going to want to play basketball
when somebody loves football they're
going to want to play football when
somebody loves a sport they're going to
want to be involved in the sport whether
they watch it whether they play it
whether they wear a uniform they're
going to want to be involved in whatever
area of that sport it is because they
love
it when somebody loves God they're going
to want to be involved in his Works
they're going to want to be involved in
his kingdom this doesn't mean you're
perfect this doesn't mean you're
Flawless no one is perfect no one is
Flawless but this means that you're a
person when you're saved you're a person
that wants to honor God and you might
stumble and you might fall but you get
back up and you continue to obey his
words but then there's people on the
flip side who just say oh no I believe
in God but they don't try to walk in his
words at all Jesus says that type of
faith is like building on the sand your
house will crash but why is Jesus saying
this because he wants our house to crash
no because he wants us to build our
lives on the Rock so that after the
storm after the floods after the rain
after the wind our house will still
stand I hope this video was a blessing
