The trial of faith... in love

The trial of faith is no 'leap of faith' in men's dogma, but simply the trial of whether one is truly loving to all, or not, in life ...

Quote:
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Enduring temptation, just as Jesus and the saints , is not by sinning but by not sinning ...

This trial of faith to perfect love, cease to sin any more, is the necessary step in sanctification in life that must be completed before the return of Jesus [or one's death if sooner]

Quote:
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Quote:
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

The Father then is perfect, without sin , and expects the same of all who follow Jesus , giving them all knowledge [John 16:13] in spirit baptism to be able to see through satan's wily temptations and so reject ALL sin any longer in their lives...

faith in Jesus is thus faith in his commandment to love as one's lord commanding one to obey him, it is not shown by disobeying him and not loving in continued sin , Jesus cannot be lord to those who disobey him and continue to sin after baptism :-

Quote:
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Thus Jesus says that he will reject all who are still sinners by his return :-

Quote:
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The FOUNDATION of God then is sure, certain, , it is to depart from sin, not to continue in it as most modern christians do :-

Quote:
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Romans 6:2... How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
