IF GOD IS TO FIRST PUT A SINNER IN A COURT- ROOM WILL NOT THE LAW CONDEMNED HIM- John 3:17
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
THUS GOD FIRST TAKES THE MAN TO A HOSPITAL-TO BE HELP, THE FIRST JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH TRANSFORMS THE MAN FROM THE CARNAL-MIND TO THE SPIRITUAL-MIND (ROM:8:6-7 compared with ROM 5:1)
IF THE BLIND CAN MAKE HIM SELF SEE BEFORE JESUS HEAL HIM, IT MEANS HE DO NOT NEED A SAVIOUR-PHYSICIAN, John 9:39-41
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
THEREFORE JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH DOES NOT INCLUDES WORKS BEFORE JUSTIFICATION
Rom 4:1-5
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.-WORKETH NOT - this works is the doing of the work of the law,
WHEN HE IS TRANSFORMED AND HE NOW DOES WORK OF FAITH (REVEALED TRUTHS), THE WORK OF FAITH HE DOES DECLARES (JUSTIFIES) THAT HE HAS BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH
please carefully read the following scriptures, it speak of Abraham being justified by works and not by FAITH ONLY.(REVEALED TRUTHS) This is another justification (justification by works) proceeding being justified by faith. ( CAUTION- THIS STUDY NEED THE AID OF THE HOLY- SPIRIT)
James 2:17,18,20-24.
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? (JUSTIFIED BY WORKS)
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
