Double-edged sword. It Christian podcast Ministry

presented by father, jonard Lazar, father.

Jernard is a parish priest of the mud of the Parish of a

Serene Church of the east in Turlock.

California. Here's father, jernard.

Show me in the Bible. Where does it say in the Bible?

Show me in the scriptures is a demand.

I receive many times when I'm engaging in peaceful, loving

conversation, scriptural conversation or biblical

conversation with my Christian brothers and sisters.

And as much as that is a very valid demand that our ultimate

source is the holy scriptures Sola scriptura which I like I

admire solar scripture but we have to be genuine and honest to

Sola scriptura in. And I always say it's not about

how I feel what the scripture is teaching and telling us and

commanding us not how I I feel how I perceive it because that

is not faith. Faith is being obedient to God,

faith is loving God, and worshiping, God, and being

obedient to God, as I mentioned, the last episode.

So this, this episode is going to be out, Sola scriptura

episode on the understanding of deeds.

And there is sensuality in Salvation.

And in the pleasing, or Probably appeasing of the Lord and for

the test of our faith in our judgment when the Lord returns.

So let me start by quoting. Luke chapter 6, verses 3043 244

Luke 6 · chapter mention

and, you know, I encourage you to jot these down.

I mean, I know this episode will be therefore whenever you come

back and revisit it in 10 years time, God willing.

But if you want to have these verses handy, I recommend that.

So, let's look at Luke. Chapter 6, verses 43 to 44.

Luke 6:43–44

And this is what Jesus is instructing.

And this is what Jesus is teaching.

There is no good tree that bears.

Bad fruits, Deeds Works acts fruits all associated with each

other nor a bad tree that bears. Good fruits for every tree is

known by its fruit. What it produces, which is what

Jesus telling us. So when you stand before a tree,

an apple tree or not enge, tree or Tooth, Fairy language.

Strawberry. I think to fighting it, you'll

get the tree and when you see that the tree, some of the

branches are bending over almost breaking because of the fruit

that it's yield. You think this is a good tree.

But when you see a tree just like Jesus, did the Sycamore, a

only so leaves on the tree, you think?

No, this is not a healthy tree or this year.

This tree has let me down by its fruit so you pass that judgment.

On that tree because of what you see, the tree has, whether

produced or not produced in Matthew 16:27.

Matthew 16:27

Again, Jesus. The true Son of God.

Our Lord, our King, Our Savior, a life-giver and the forgiver of

our sins. Our ultimate judge the righteous

judge who does not show any past reality commands and teachers

for the Son of man. And this is a warning actually

for the son of man is to come in the glory of his father.

With all his Holy Angels, it's talking about the second coming

and then we'll he recompense. That means reward or repay to

every man as his deeds are doesn't even mention faith.

Not that faith is not required. That is the the first of, you

know, it's the, it's the Pinnacle.

It's the first proof of our A ship with, Jesus Christ, Faith.

But Jesus says that, when he returns, he will repay

recompense to every man, as he's Deeds are as his works are.

So if works are not essential and irrelevant, well, Jesus is

telling me that I'm going to be judged by something, or I'm

going to be recompensed by something that is irrelevant,

no. Not according to the scriptures

and again Sola scriptura only from the scriptures.

Let's go to James chapter 2, verses 17 to 18.

James 2:17–18

James is is relating faith and deeds.

And we're going to talk about faith in another episode because

I know there's going to be a lot of works by faith.

You have been justified by faith.

You have been saved. We're going to talk about bait

by but we're going to talk about faith.

Let's concentrate on to these because these are important as

well. They go hand-in-hand faith

alone. Not just faith.

Faith alone without works is dead.

Meaning, there will be no recompense for dead dead faith.

When there is no Deeds, there will be no recompensing, there

will be no reward because there is no Deeds for a man may say

you have faith and I have Works show to me, your faith.

That is without works, and I will show to you my faith, by my

works. I can feel the Vibes.

I can feel the questions. Echoing, what about Hebrews 11?

What about Hebrews 11? Yes, we're going to talk about

that but let me quote Hebrews 11:4 by faith.

Hebrews 11:4

Now, Saint Paul here emphasizes Deeds that are not done through

faith. Are just ordinary just habits

and you know you know do not appease God are not justified by

faith Abel. Offered to God.

So he did something his faith Drew Abel brought able to a

place where he did something and this is his deed offered to God

a better sacrifice than that of Cain by faith Abel offered to

God, a better sacrifice than that of Cain and on account of

it. Now, some may say, no, that's on

account of the faith. Let's not jump the gun.

It's take it. Easy.

And on account of the it he is testified of that.

He was righteous. You may say see yes

righteousness through faith and God bore testimony to his

offering. So talking about what he

actually did, how he proved his faith, how he emphasized, his

faith through what he did. Let me read it again by faith

Abel offered to God, a better sacrifice.

Other than that of Cain and on account of it, he is testified

of that. He was righteous and God bore

testimony to his offering. And in consequence therefore

though dead yet, he speaks not that able speaks but to this

day, he is famous. And he is celebrated and enjoys

a good name. Among all the religious people

when we talk about Abel. Now flicker Bibles or scroll up

or Google Revelations 14:13 and this verse I came across two

Revelation 14:13

weeks ago, so it's two weeks knew in my mind.

And I Heard a Voice from Heaven saying, this is the voice of

Jesus Christ. Right.

It's a commandment right? Or take account or make note,

blessed are the Dead who die in the Lord from henceforth from

now. Yes, says the spirit that they

may rest from their labors, their deeds, their works for

their Works, will follow them where they will follow them at

the righteous tribute tribunal of Jesus Christ.

And hence, Paul in 1 Corinthians states that we will all be

judged according to our faith and deeds whether evil or good.

Let's have a look. At one of the many renowned

Parables of Jesus Christ. Praise and glory be to his name.

And it's in Matthew 21. We're going to pick it up from

verse 28, a certain man had two sons and he called the first and

said to him, my son go work today in the vineyard, which is

the church, which is the world work today.

We've all been called to work to produce, good fruits, good

deeds. But he answered and said, I do

not want to but afterwards, he was moved with Wet.

And he went, we're going to read a commentary on one of the

father's on this, then he came to the other and said to him

likewise. But he answered and said, I will

my Lord. He showed love through his faith

in his Lord, but he did not go. He didn't do anything, which one

of these two did, the will of the his father.

They were saying to him, the first Jesus said to them.

Amen. I mean, it's true.

I say to that. Tax collectors and prostitutes

proceed proceed you to the kingdom of God, Tax Collectors,

or and prostitutes who have repented from their evil and are

not now are producing Good. Deeds proceed you to the kingdom

of God for John, came to you in the way of righteousness and you

did not trust him, but tax collectors and prostitutes

trusted him, and even when you saw it, you are not moved with

great or with regret. Words to trust him, the Blessed

theophil Act. Who is a?

One of the church fathers who comments on this, he writes, he

introduces two types of men. One type of those who promised

from the beginning, such as were the Jews.

Who said All which God spoke we will do and we will obey.

Exodus 24:3 do and Obey, not just accept and love and believe

Exodus 24:3

in but obey and do the. Other type are those who

disobeyed such are the publicans, and the harlots, but

also the people of the Gentiles who from the beginning were not

obedient to the will of God. But later they repented and He'd

so, he's talking about doing he justified a commanded, the suck,

the first son, who at first was not faithful, but then he did,

he repented or he changed his mind.

Basically, and did the request of the father?

Matthew 7:24, everyone. Therefore And this is the

Matthew 7:24

parable of the two men who built the houses, everyone therefore

who hears these words of mine and does them puts them in

practice, fulfills them, we're going to have a look at some

Works everyone. Therefore who hears these words

of mine and does them will be likened to the wise man who

built his house on Solid Rock built.

You know, the verse is is so so evident of doing things.

No being active building, working obeying going at oiling.

So Deeds again are not just mere acts of love to the Lord, but

have no value or no significance.

When we Face the righteous Judgment of God, which pertains

to Salvation. Let's look at some works.

That Christ has called us to, as Christians prayer.

Fasting. Arms giving.

Loving to love to serve to witness about Jesus Christ.

These are actual Deeds that we must fulfill.

This is how we work in the vineyard in the church.

In the world. To continue to pray and have

that communication with God to enter that presence of the Lord,

not only for ourselves but for others as well fasting

almsgiving help the poor the needy to love thy neighbor to

serve in the church to serve Jesus Christ.

And to witness. However, however, we must know

this, we must examine in, what Manner or motive or reason we

are fulfilling these Deeds or Our obligation Christian

obligations in Matthew chapter 27, verse 23.

Matthew 27:23

Jesus said to those who preached his name, who were casting out

demons, who had a relationship with Jesus Christ?

He says, I do not know you away from me workers of evil because

their motives the manner that they were fulfilling their

responsibilities. And the reason why they were

preaching and you know, and healing was not appeasing to

God, probably boastful maybe for self-gain.

Praying, not to be seen and not repetitive repetitively.

Matthew chapter 6, verses five, and six fasting without

Matthew 6 · chapter mention

grumbling, without being gloomy. Without boasting about our fast,

Matthew 6:16 Loving. Let Not Your Love.

Matthew 6:16

Be deceitful, says Romans 12:19 to serve, not forcefully, but

Romans 12:19

with trembling, with joy, with fear, with gladness to serve the

Lord, some hundred verse 2 and some 2 verses 11 to 12 to

witness and to proclaim the message of the gospels.

And of Jesus Christ, not heretical and Falls, but in

spirit and in truth, the deed of loving the Lord, we must not

love the God because he will do something in return beloved, but

rather for what he has done for us through his son, his beloved

Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ and also because he is Lord, praise

be to his name. You see, among the woman who

came to the tomb of Christ, on the third day, they were

anticipating to see a dead body. They were anticipating to find a

body that was Still, that was actionless that could not do

anything for them, but that body when it was alive while they

saw, and they experienced turn their lives around.

So this is the love that they had for the Lord Jesus Christ.

They didn't come to embalm his body and bringing the the

instance. So that Jesus would do something

in their minds. It's a dead body at that body

cannot do anything, but we know that Jesus is alive, but it was

the True love and respect and obedience that they had for the

Lord. So let's not love the Lord

because we expect something. Let's love the Lord because he

did something exceptional through his son.

Our Lord Jesus Christ. So my beloved faithful Christian

brothers and sisters. If faithful Christians committed

Christians Born Again Christians.

We are to be good. We are to do good and prepare

ourselves for the day of judgment, where we will be

judged, according to our Deeds, whether evil or good.

Will we pass the test? Praise and glory, be to the name

of the righteous judge. Jesus Christ, Our Lord now in at

all times in Forever, One last thing.
