Back to Ptolemaic Egypt this afternoon ✨
Very happy to be presenting today at the Septuagint Seminar at Christ Church, Oxford. Join me if you would like to hear more about papyri, the Septuagint, and how they can illuminate the language and world of the Greek Bible.

What about all the professing Christians in the world, who don't read their Bibles, only pray in emergencies, rarely if ever attend corporate worship services, don't serve, give, or sit under the preaching of the Word? Are people like this still Christians?

In Lk. 6:46 Jesus said, “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? What Jesus was teaching is that it is a contradiction to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior and yet not obey Him. If someone is your Lord, Master, King, you obey them. If you don’t, you are a traitor, a rebel, their enemy, not a friend.

In Jn. 14:15 Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” And in vs. 21, “He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me.” And in vs. 23, “Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word.” And in vs. 25, “He who does not love Me does not keep My words.” It is clear that we prove our love to Jesus by keeping or obeying His Word. To not obey Jesus, is to not love Jesus. What are the implications of not loving Jesus?

Jesus in Mt. 7:24-27 spoke of those who "hear His Words and do not act upon them" as building your life on the sand, and suffering ruinous judgment. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Cor. 16:16 "If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed." James says in Jam. 2:14, "What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?" The implied answer is, "No." So-called faith that doesn’t produce obedience isn’t saving faith.

The Apostle John writes in 1 Jn. 2:4-6, The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked." There are many texts like this in the Bible. A transformed life, a love for the Lord demonstrated in obedience is what proves the genuineness of saving faith.

Your works prove your salvation is real. Why? Because true salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, includes regeneration (Titus 3:5), transformation (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18), the new birth (Jn. 3:1-7; 1 Pet. 1:23), and becoming a new creature in Christ so old sin patterns, values, motives, desires, pass away (2 Cor. 5:17). Saying the right things isn’t enough to save you. Knowing the truth is not enough to save you. Good intentions are not enough to save you. You must “bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance” (Mt. 3:8). Jesus taught that "every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire" (Mt. 3:10; 7:19; Lk. 3:9).

"Test yourself to see if you be in the faith," (2 Cor. 13:5). If you "fail the test," i.e., are not bringing forth fruit in keeping with repentance, then truly repent (Lk. 13:3, 5; Acts 17:30-31), "turn from your wicked ways and unrighteous thoughts and turn to the Lord for pardon" (Isa. 55:6-7). "Confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead" (Rom. 10:8-9). If you have a fruitless Christianity, you are not yet born again by grace. You are perishing and on the broad road to destruction. @anchorbiblelou

@matt_everhard If a licensed plumber can do it, full time pastors might want to consider learning too.

@DrJackHughes I’m me of the benefits of the new covenant :)

@DavidJo2437 @dgh5391 That’s interesting. That sort of sounds like, he didn’t think he could refute FP but also hadn’t changed his mind, no?

[Stephen Hackett @stephen_hackett]

@DavidJo2437 @dgh5391 Was this confirmed or suspected with Chilton? I have heard it before but I thought there was some doubt around it? I mean concerning Chilton’s post stroke view

Amazon has our book at 20% off right now. Looks like one could also pick up 3 copies for the price of 2. Not bad!

@RandPaul Nice plan. But it’s a pipe dream. I admire your principled stands. I just wish other members of legislature would have the fortitude to pass something like this.
