7 - There are no wages for faith.

The purpose of the Apostolic Cutting Edge. (ACE)

The purpose of the Apostolic Cutting Edge is to equip you with Bible thoughts you can activate quickly. Life happens quick on the cutting edge. An opportunity to win a soul appears then disappears. If you are not ready for it you lose. When you have learned to recognize it ahead of time, you are prepared. In fact you live in expectation.

The word of God is quick if you are ready for it. You need a mind to match your soul. A mind to match your body leaves you lacking. A mind to match your soul gives you the unlimited resources of God.

The Law of the Book by al friend The Law of the Book requires movement and follow through. The knowledge on its pages is nothing more than paper and ink. A mind must lay hold on it and take it beyond knowledge into wisdom. Then it becomes a blueprint with power from which to build your life. God's grace is the favor of God on His terms. God's grace is not a reward for works on our terms. Acts 2:38 is GRACE. The problem is grace is misunderstood by many. We obey Acts 2:38 by faith that it might be by grace. We are not receiving wages for our faith but by the grace of God we have our sins remitted. That is not by works lest any man should boast. It is the GIFT of God. If we will, by faith,obey Acts 2:38, God will, by His Grace, remit our sins. Our activities of faith activate the grace of God. Our work of faith is not to receive wages. There are no wages for faith. Faith simply opens a door for God to do as He sees fit. God will, by His grace, reward diligent faith with a gift. There are wages for sin. The wages of sin is death but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Understand this. We are not receiving wages for our faith. We are receiving a gift from God. Jesus paid the price for sin. That is finished. Now by the grace of God we have our sins remitted as a gift. This will cause a lot of people to praise Jesus forever, and I do mean forever. We have not seen Him yet we love Him. This truth will never get old in heaven. Think about that. Now think about it again. Will you praise Jesus forever? Then start now!

There are no wages for faith. Romans 4:16. Therefore it is by faith that it might be by grace. You can't make it idiot proof. A radio preacher said: "Let's turn to the book of idiotic James." James said faith without works is dead. The radio preacher believed we have no works to do, it is all by faith. You can't even make the Bible idiot proof. They just turn up in the most unexpected places. Jesus did what He came to do. This is what He came to do. Luke 24:46 47. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Now I must do what He did it for. I must repent and be baptized in Jesus name. Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. . 39. For the promise (the gift) is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. The cutting edge will put new life into any Apostolic believer expecting God to love a soul through them. We had three baptized in Jesus Name Wednesday.

God comes into our world through a man. This is the area I have always enjoyed. Seeing a new person come into the church. That is refreshing.

Pass the word around. Inspire others to read the Apostolic Cutting Edge.
