The feasts and the commandments of God for works of faith to make us stronger and live godly lives in Christ Jesus. Why saying then that they are only for the Jews. We Gentiles believers in Jesus Christ go the word of God from the Jews. John 17. 20.
This showed that we Gentiles believers in the houses of God have respect to some of God’s words and disrespect to some . We have divided the house that Jesus Christ built as His body into two man-made divisions, this should never be so my fellow believers in Jesus Christ.
According to the gospel of John chapter 17.14, 15, 16. There is only one body of Jesus Christ comprising Jews believers in Christ Jesus and Gentiles believers in Christ Jesus Faith is to believe every word of God written or verbally.
6.
Many are wrong who put a mere notional belief of the gospel for the whole of evangelical religion, as many people do now. No wonder, true faith alone, whereby men have part in Christ’s righteousness, atonement, and grace, saves their souls; but it produces holy fruits, and is shown to be real by its effect on their works; while mere assent to any form of doctrine, or mere historical belief of any facts, wholly differs from this saving faith.
A bare profession may gain the good opinion of pious people; and it may procure, in some cases, worldly good things; but what profit will it be, for any to gain the whole world, and to lose their souls? Can this faith save him? All things should be accounted profitable or unprofitable to us, as they tend to forward or hinder the salvation of our souls.
This in the Scripture plainly shows that an opinion, or assent to the gospel, without works, is not faith. There is no way to show we really believe in Christ, but by being diligent in good works, from gospel motives, and for gospel purposes.
Men may boast to others, and be conceited of that which they really have not. There is not only to be assent in faith, but consent; not only an assent to the truth of the word, but a consent to take Christ.
