<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A12&amp;version=NIV"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">John </span></a><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A12&amp;version=NIV">14:12</a><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;"> - "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;">As you know, what Jesus Christ said fits perfectly well with what is taught in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A+21-27&amp;version=NIV">Matthew 7 verses 21 to 27</a> and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+6%3A46-49&amp;version=NIV">Luke 6 verses 46 to 49</a>.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;">Paul&rsquo;s concept of faith is quite the opposite. Paul&rsquo;s concept of faith is faith without works.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+4%3A1-5&amp;version=NIV">Romans 4 verse 1 to 5</a> &ndash; &ldquo;What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?&nbsp;If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about&mdash;but not before God.&nbsp;What does Scripture say? &ldquo;Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.&rdquo;&nbsp; Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.&nbsp;However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Paul disregards the fact that Abraham&rsquo;s righteousness also came as a result of his works and not just by his faith.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+26%3A+4-5&amp;version=NIV">Genesis 26 verses 4 to 5</a> &ndash; &ldquo;<span style="background: white;">I will make your descendants&nbsp;as numerous as the stars in the sky&nbsp;and will give them all these lands,&nbsp;and through your offspring&nbsp;all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham <strong>obeyed</strong> me&nbsp;and did everything I required of him, <strong>keeping my commands, my decrees&nbsp;and my instructions</strong>.&rdquo;</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">This blessing came to Isaac and his descendants because Abraham obeyed God and did everything God required of him, "keeping my commands, my decrees&nbsp;and my instructions."</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">God rewards a man according to his works and not just by faith (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+34%3A11%2C+Matthew+16%3A27%2C+Revelation+22%3A12&amp;version=NIV">Job 34:11, Matthew 16 verse 27, Revelation 22 verse 12</a>).</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Let&rsquo;s look at what Paul says.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+3%3A27&amp;version=NIV">Romans 3 verse 27</a> &ndash; &ldquo;Where, then, is boasting?&nbsp;It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Faith in God doesn&rsquo;t mean that a person will keep the commandments in Law of Moses. This can be seen in the life of King David. King David had faith in God. But he didn&rsquo;t apply his faith in his works when he committed adultery with Uriah&rsquo;s wife; when he deceived and murdered Uriah, and then stole Uriah&rsquo;s wife (2 Samuel <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+11&amp;version=NIV">11</a> to <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+12&amp;version=NIV">12</a>). So the Law requires both faith and works. Not just faith.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">That is why we read <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A26&amp;version=NIV">James 2 verse 26.</a></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 115%; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; color: black; background: white; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A26&amp;version=NIV">James 2 verse 26</a> &ndash; &ldquo;As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.&rdquo;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
