“ Great Sermon! ” The question is this: Is the Lord your saviour? Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
Not every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is saviour. But the whole world will confess Jesus Christ as someone to pay homage.
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God (Isaiah 44:6).
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD (Psalm 37:39) He that is our God is the God of salvation; (68:20).
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.(Lam 3:26).
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour (Isaiah 43:11).
God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).
No one can make God anything.

“ Is Christ your Lord? (Part 1) ” -Informal Brief- Part 1 of 2 ¶ James was an outstanding person in the early church. He was the half-brother of Christ. He had a special post Resurrection appearance of Christ to him. He became the leader of the Church, which was located in Jerusalem. While the Apostles were located there, James had the foremost position. Most likely his letter was the first of the Epistles. James was martyred in 62 A.D. His letter was addressed to the Christian diaspora. ¶ His letter points out true saving faith changes a life. Salvation is by Christ alone, faith alone, and grace alone. Apostle Paul pointed out in Galatians anyone teaching works is required to be saved is an anathema. Understanding the relationship between faith and works is crucial. ¶ John 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." ¶ Paul wrote on how a person is saved. You believe in the finished work of Christ. What the Romish Church teaches is the very opposite of what Paul taught. [Continued]

“ Is Christ your Lord? (Part 2) ” --Informal brief-- part 2 ¶ Being good doesn't save you. If you believe in Christ + something else for salvation, you aren't saved! ¶ James isn't addressing salvation. Saving faith you change your life, and the results will be good works. Salvation results in good works. If a life is not changed, a person is not saved. If you say that God requires you to change your life to be saved that's heresy. If you say that the Bible requires that if you have been saved and that requires a changed life that's Biblical. ¶ James 2:15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, 16 and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. ¶ Matthew 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. (And see the following several verses) ¶ Saving the country means bringing the overt sinners and "Pharisees" to Christ!
