The litmus test for salvation remains the FRUIT.by Jobi Kings #RhemaSound

Don't let them fool you by saying, it doesn't matter how you live once you've given your life to Christ, and are saved.

It never mattered more how you live  your life than when you're saved.

If we claim to be saved, yet cannot work in righteousness, that's a proof that our claim is false.

No, we are not sinners because we sin;
we sin because we are sinners.
And yes, that status has changed once we are in Christ.
But that's not the end of the story...

The nature of sin is destroyed by Christ, Halleluyah!!!
Yet it's our job to work out our Salvation, bringing spiritual facts to physical reality.
" But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."- 1 Corinthians 9:27.

We are not saved because we work in righteousness.
We work in righteousness because we are saved.
Righteousness is an outgrowth of Salvation in us, and if it is not there, it just isn't there.
By their fruit you shall know them.

Christianity is a call to participation with GOD.
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."- 2 Peter 1:5-8.

Most Christians are unproductive in Christ, bearing fruits no different from worldly and even satanic people because they're refusing to take responsibility for their faith, and partner with GOD.
NO, they want to use only their mouth in claiming blessings, while the rest of them remain idle to obedience concerning the things of GOD.

Sin remains the only problem between GOD and man.
Sin is more of a problem, than even Satan is.
If Satan could not lure Christians to rebel against GOD, and live in disobedience to the ordinances of Christ even after being born again, then Christian influence would be more effective in our society, and that would be a good thing.
Look around you though, alas...

LOOK AT THE FRUIT, NOT THE MONEY.

#Until We Come To The Unity Of Faith
READ YOUR BIBLE, MEDITATE, PRAY, AND OBEY GOD...
