A Sign of the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ, and of the End of the World <br>
+
'''Faith is the Predominate Condition of Our Justification'''
<br>
+
<strong>Deception is a Sign of the End of the Age </strong>
+
  
 +
Faith Saves, Only Because Jesus Saves. Even in the days of the Old Covenant, our God has gone on record as offering Himself as a Saviour for "all the ends of the Earth". "There is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the Earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:21-22). The New Testament records the initial reaction of the Believing Jews to the advent of Jesus as their Messiah was that the Saviour had appeared for Israel-- with no thought of the Gentiles. "68 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of Salvation for us in the house of His servant David; 70 As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us" (Luke 1:68-71). But, the greater light of the New Covenant showed that Jesus came to save the world, not just the Jews. Hallelujah! "For the grace of God that bringeth Salvation hath appeared to all men" (Titus 2:11).
  
<strong>"What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?" </strong><br>
+
Justification by Faith Goes Back to the Beginning. God has always justified man by faith. "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh" (Hebrews 11:4). The Apostle Paul's monumental epistle to the Romans attests to the Doctrine of Justification by Faith. "For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness" (Romans 4:3). Self-righteous works are in opposition to the Works of Faith. "For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God" (4:2). The obedience of the LORD Jesus Christ does not take away our need to obey God; and so, in that regard, Christ's obedience is not imputed to us-- not taking away our necessity for obedience. "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God?" (1Peter 4:17).
(Matthew 24:3). <br><br>

by Tom Stewart <br>
+
<p><br>
+
  1. Jesus warned us not to be deceived. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you" (Matthew 24:4) . </p>
+
<p>2. Deception is mocking God concerning His truth. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" ( Galatians 6:7 ) . </p>
+
<p>3. Self-deception is believing a lie. Voluntarily forgetting God's revealed truth is self-deception . "For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was" ( James 1:23-24 ) . </p>
+
<p>4. The enemies of God are deceivers. </p>
+
<ul>
+
  <li>a. All mankind who are apart from the saving influence of the LORD Jesus Christ are part of this cycle of deception. "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived" (2Timothy 3:13) . </li>
+
  <li>b. Obviously, Satan and his demons are deceivers. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" (Revelation 12:9) . </li>
+
  <li>c. The Antichrist will claim that he -- and NOT Jesus -- IS the Christ. "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matthew 24:5) . </li>
+
  <li>d. The Antichrist knows that whoever lays claim to the name of Christ is actually claiming to be THE ONLY TRUE GOD. For this reason, he will sit in the rebuilt Jewish temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, demanding all to worship him. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2Thessalonians 2:3-4) . </li>
+
  <li>e. The false prophet will deceive the world by directing the worship of Antichrist. "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live" (Revelation 13:14) . </li>
+
</ul>
+
<p>5. Even the LORD God Almighty has promised to deceive all but the elect. </p>
+
<ul>
+
  <li>a. The deceiving and seduction of the elect (those who are appointed to salvation) will not ultimately be possible. "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mark 13:22) . God will Himself be in the process of preparing the final judgment of those who have rejected His Son as the Only True God and Saviour. "And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel" (Ezekiel 14:9) . </li>
+
  <li>b. Believing the "lying wonders" of Satan (demons physically manifesting themselves as the stronger and smarter aliens who have been here from the beginning and can save us from ourselves or destroy us if we do not cooperate with the Paradigm Shift evolving all man into this higher Christ consciousness of becoming God), causes unelect man to love not the truth of the Gospel or believe the warnings of God's prophecy -- making them incapable of being saved. "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved" (2Thessalonians 2:9-10) . </li>
+
  <li>c. God's book of judgment will close with the final purging of all the earth of those who reject the Truth and have pleasure in unrighteousness. Yes, there is right and wrong. That is what this is all about! God's strong delusion will cause their wickedness to be full so that their final damnation will be complete. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2Thessalonians 2:11-12) . </li>

'''Jesus never ever was seeking his own will, or his own glory nor did he ever exalt himself in any way shape or form as the Trinitarian swaggering Jesus routinely does.'''  Rather, the true and genuine Jesus totally humbled himself completely surrendering himself to his God from whom all good comes seeking only to do his Father's good not his own will.  Jesus knew all good came from his God and for that reason at '''Mark 10:18''' he responded to this man who called him GOOD Teacher by saying, "Why do you call me good?  No one is good but God alone."  Jesus was indeed a teacher but his teaching was not his own but came from his God and he did not speak from himself.  '''John 7:16-18'''<br>

"I do not seek my glory. There is ONE who seeks and judges".... The Jews said... "WHO do you make yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing.  IT IS MY FATHER WHO GLORIFIES ME, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.  '''John 8:50-54'''

Our View of Man Affects Our Understanding of Justification by Faith. If man does not possess the free will agency to repent and believe the Gospel, then man would be condemned without the opportunity of choice. "What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid" (Romans 9:14). Regrettably, we usually underestimate the goodness and kindness of God toward us in describing His actions toward us. "7 That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is The Gift of God" (Ephesians 2:7-8).

"This doctrine [of a sinful nature] is a stumbling-block both to the church and the world, infinitely dishonourable to God, and an abomination alike to God and the human intellect, and should be banished from every pulpit, and from every formula of doctrine, and from the world. It is a relic of heathen philosophy, and was foisted in among the doctrines of Christianity by Augustine, as every one may know who will take the trouble to examine for himself. This view of moral depravity that I am opposing, has long been the stronghold of universalism. From it, the universalists inveighed with resistless force against the idea that sinners would be sent to an eternal hell. Assuming the long-defended doctrine of original or constitutional sinfulness, they proceed to show, that it would be infinitely unreasonable and unjust in God to send them to hell. What! create them with a sinful nature, from which proceed, by a law of necessity, actual transgressions, and then send them to an eternal hell for having this nature, and for transgressions that are unavoidable? Impossible! they say; and the human intellect responds, Amen" (from Lecture 40 "Moral Depravity" of Finney's "Systematic Theology").

'Faith

Faith is the Predominate Condition of Our Justification

Faith Saves, Only Because Jesus Saves. Even in the days of the Old Covenant, our God has gone on record as offering Himself as a Saviour for "all the ends of the Earth". "There is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the Earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:21-22). The New Testament records the initial reaction of the Believing Jews to the advent of Jesus as their Messiah was that the Saviour had appeared for Israel-- with no thought of the Gentiles. "68 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of Salvation for us in the house of His servant David; 70 As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us" (Luke 1:68-71). But, the greater light of the New Covenant showed that Jesus came to save the world, not just the Jews. Hallelujah! "For the grace of God that bringeth Salvation hath appeared to all men" (Titus 2:11).

Justification by Faith Goes Back to the Beginning. God has always justified man by faith. "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh" (Hebrews 11:4). The Apostle Paul's monumental epistle to the Romans attests to the Doctrine of Justification by Faith. "For what saith the Scripture?

"This doctrine [of a sinful nature] is a stumbling-block both to the church and the world, infinitely dishonourable to God, and an abomination alike to God and the human intellect, and should be banished from every pulpit, and from every formula of doctrine, and from the world. It is a relic of heathen philosophy, and was foisted in among the doctrines of Christianity by Augustine, as every one may know who will take the trouble to examine for himself. This view of moral depravity that I am opposing, has long been the stronghold of universalism. From it, the universalists inveighed with resistless force against the idea that sinners would be sent to an eternal hell. Assuming the long-defended doctrine of original or constitutional sinfulness, they proceed to show, that it would be infinitely unreasonable and unjust in God to send them to hell. What! create them with a sinful nature, from which proceed, by a law of necessity, actual transgressions, and then send them to an eternal hell for having this nature, and for transgressions that are unavoidable? Impossible! they say; and the human intellect responds, Amen" (from Lecture 40 "Moral Depravity" of Finney's "Systematic Theology").

"But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing" (Galatians 4:18).
