Word of God

For man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God - Matthew 4:4

He is faithful

If we are faithless He remains faithful. He cannot deny Himself - 2 Timothy 2:13

If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope with wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23

Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed. Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.

Herein what says the Apostle Paul? It is this writer's thought that he speaks on three types of persons.

1) Those that openly deny and defy Christ as Savior, and refuse God's grace and offer of Salvation. They say there is no God we are our own men and women, none is above us.

2) Those who may believe in God and Christ do not the works ordained by the Father. That is to say to worship God and love they neighbors. Outwardly they take the form of Godliness but inwardly they deny Him through their lack of actions and thereby deny the power that is given unto them to preach and spread the Gospel of Christ.

3) The false convert. These are those who likewise take the name Christian but secretly do not believe in Him. Likewise they appear to be good, but inside they are full of dead men's bones. These are the scribes and pharisees of our day. Loving the praise of mankind more so than the praise of God.
