Good Works and My Salvation by Pastor Jon GausJon Gaus
Where do good works fit into my salvation in Jesus Christ? What is the difference between justification and sanctification and how do they fit together in the life of the follower of Jesus?
This is a presentation I created for my teenage daughter who was telling me she wanted to be different, make a statement, etc. So I thought it would be good to show her that she can indeed be different, but in a very positive way.

Since God exists, how does He speak to me? How do I know His will for my life. He has spoken to us through the Scriptures, revealing His Words to us. Will we choose to listen or not?
His Ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts. This teachings shows the foolishness in men's wisdom and how God's wisdom is far better. It shows 36 ways through which God's wisdom is greater than man's greatest wisdom.
This is a Sunday School lesson per ETB (Southern Baptist curriculum) for (covering) part of the Lord Jesus' sermon on the mount, regarding how, as people within His kingdom, we can go far beyond the law and show extreme love and conformity to what God has had in mind all along: for us to become like Him (His Son, Jesus Christ). In so doing (following Him and allowing Him to live thru us), we become peacemakers, will be called sons of God, causing people's heads to turn upward and to give our God the credit and honor for what He alone could do in our new-born lives.
God’s Word is a great treasure. It has been given to us to help us through our lives. Using 2 Timothy 3.16, Paul reminds us that the word of God is profitable for us because it identifies the path, shows us when we are off of the path, helps us to return to the path and helps us to know how to stay on the path.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. Matthew
7:21-23
Knowing the correct password-- saying 'Master, Master,' for instance-- isn't going to get
you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience-- doing what my Father
wills. I can see it now-- at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying,
'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God- sponsored projects
had everyone talking.’ And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All
you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're
out of here.'
3. By the grace God has given me, I laid
a foundation as an expert builder,
and someone else is building on it. 1 Corinthians
But each one should be careful how
he builds. For no one can lay any
foundation other than the one
3:10-15
already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If
any man builds on this foundation
using gold, silver, costly stones,
wood, hay or straw, his work will be
shown for what it is, because the
Day will bring it to light. It will be
revealed with fire, and the fire will
test the quality of each man’s work.
If what he has built survives, he will
receive his reward. If it is burned up,
he will suffer loss; he himself will be
saved, but only as one escaping
through the flames.

Sovereign Will
Mark 13: 32
No one knows about that day or hour, not
even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but
only the Father.
