Salvation Is Obtained Through Deeds, Not Faith

God’s Sermon broadcast on Thanksgiving Day, 2025

• Now, let me speak plainly.
  Among the famous books, there is one called the Bible, whose main character is allegedly Jesus. For thousands of years, many renowned people have said that Jesus is the savior, and he is the central figure of the sixty-six books of the Bible.
  In this, Jesus declares, “Ah, I am the greatest physician for diseases of the soul. Just believe in me, only me. If you just believe in me, Jesus, you will all receive salvation and not die."
  To put it simply, it's like this: Imagine a doctor who is the main character in a book as famous as the Bible in the medical field. This famous doctor examines a patient suffering from 100 fatal diseases. "You have a fatal disease inside you. But just believe in me. Don't you know I am the most famous top doctor? Just believe in me and you will not die." If the patient just believes the doctor's words, will he live or die? He will clearly die.
  Would the patient live simply by believing these words? Certainly not. Death would still come.
  If Jesus is a physician for diseases of the soul, he must cure the spiritual disease, fundamentally uprooting sin. Making humanity, which was eternally destined to die because of sin, become free from sin and able to reach eternal life –that is what it truly means to be a physician who cures diseases of the soul. But it began to be revealed that Jesus did not know salvation, that Jesus was a human who did not even know the word 'salvation'.
  Now, what does it mean to believe and obtain salvation? Imagine an Englishman saying, “I believe you. Therefore, I shall go to England.” If he repeats this ten million times, will he go? No —he must prepare and board a plane to reach the destination.
  Thus, merely saying, “I believe, I believe,” is meaningless. Humanity, destined to die because of sin, must be cleansed from sin. Yet, Jesus himself did not know how to wash away sin, nor how to resolve it. Therefore, for two thousand years, no one in the world has clue about how to get salvation. The entire world is ignorant of how sin is washed away.
  

• Thus, the world believes that uttering “Lord” once is enough to gain salvation. Pastors say, “Simply entering the church is proof of faith; one is already destined for heaven.” They claim that receiving the Holy Spirit is not required —“No one can call Jesus Lord except by the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:3). Yet, they combine this with Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” and teach that all sins are forgiven.
  They instruct that merely calling “Lord, Lord” guarantees salvation. Such teaching prevails in the established churches today. In that rotten, vicious teaching that one can sin and still attain salvation, they claim, “Humans cannot live without sin.” If one could be saved despite sinning, there would be no need for effort.
  The layers of teaching in these established churches are corrupt. Consider the fallen revivalist: he studied diligently, became a pastor, led many followers, yet ultimately fell into vice, frequenting brothels, drinking, dancing, and regretting, "Ah, why couldn't I see this good world sooner, why did I work as a pastor?" and even taking concubines. And yet, he had called upon the Lord, been moved, and believed himself destined for heaven. Drinking, dancing, committing any sin —all would supposedly lead to salvation.
  Where does such nonsense teaching exist? Where does such salvation exist? It is evident that such teachings are clearly nonsense. Pastors, using only Ephesians 2:8–9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith,” bind countless souls, leading them into hell. Those who know nothing about salvation, who do not know the way to salvation, are like the blind leading the blind. "If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit" (Matthew 15:14) is the reality today and many of the faithful march unknowingly toward the path to hell.

• The method to obtain salvation is taught as follows: “So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty” (James 2:12). This is the law of conscience, which forbids sin in mind and thought, and by eyes.
  You are not chargeable as a thief even if the desire burns within you—‘That small microphone, how it echoes, so enticing, I want it.’ It is not a sin until the hand reaches out to take it. Yet the law of the Lord declares that the mere thought, 'Ah, I covet this, I want it,' is already judged as the sin of theft. It becomes sin the moment that the desire kicks in.
  Suppose there is a beautiful woman from some world, and the world's most handsome man. In the past, they had to be witnessed directly committing the immoral sin through contact to be stoned to death, and their corpses burned because they were unpleasant to look at (Leviticus 20:10). According to the Law of Liberty, when a woman lusts after a man, she has committed adultery. Likewise, when a man has an untoward thought for a woman, he is also adulterous.
  You can only attain salvation when you do not sin—not in your mind or thoughts, not by your eyes, and not even with the tip of your finger. If you are not saved, it is because of sin. As you committed sins, you fell to earth and became mortal. You must be completely set free from sin and cleansed in order to obtain salvation.

• Now look. Although "Speak and act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty”" is in the Bible, why do established churches not know this? Why do they not all know? If Jesus had known and recorded it, he would have taught his disciples, "You must do this or there is no salvation," and the entire established church should have known until now. But they did not know. Because they failed to unlock this crucial point, all established Christians, theologians, and pastors until now remain ignorant of the law of liberty, the law of conscience.
  Thus, most pastors, evangelists, elders, deacons, and congregants live in sin, particularly lust. They must wash away existing sins and never sin again, but continue to commit dirty sins. believing themselves destined for heaven. Jesus bears responsibility for this.
  “Faith without deeds is dead” (James 2:17). Without keeping the law of liberty, there is no salvation. Teaching that deeds are unnecessary has sent countless souls to hell. Is this not sin? It is a unforgivable sin, indeed. Let me make this clear. I will judge Jesus. He is undoubtedly the son of the king devil. Without a doubt.

• Therefore, those who wish to be saved must be qualified to get salvation. Those who have clearly heard this today must not sin in thought and mind. The root of sin must be pulled out.
  In this world filled with sin, where countless devils dwell, where lust, stubbornness, envy, jealousy, and hatred abound, to be freed from all this is not easy. It is not simple.
  But if you strive earnestly, grace like dew shall descend through Me. “I will be like the dew” (Hosea 14:5). Who sends this dew? It is the Spirit of God. By keeping this, those who strive shall receive His grace.
  

• Therefore, let the word “faith” alone be set aside. There is no salvation. No matter how many times you believe in God, it will not work. Only when, through the Water of Life and the endlessly descending dew-like grace of today, you pray the prayer given to you, and whenever you hear the precious word, the door of your heart opens, and that dew-like grace comes upon your spirit, causing your heart to bloom beautifully, and all ugliness is washed away –only then is it clear that you obtain salvation.
