I notice in your intro, you state that the following is a misleading idea of the Gospel: “It’s not enough just to believe. After all, even the demons believe.” This of course is a paraphrase of a passage from the letter of James. It was statements like this that caused Martin Luther to identify the letter of James as an “epistle of straw,” and to reject it as part of the canon of scripture. While this passage is certainly not the Gospel, nonetheless it is part of the Bible, and must be considered as true.
Yes! Absolutely. I 100% agree. I am not saying this statement from James 2 is an error. I am just saying it must be understood in context. I think I explain more about this verse later in the course. A future course will include an entire lesson on James 2.
Dear Jeremy,
I have not decided whether to subscribe — it is a lot of money. I am an old lady who does not sit on her hands and twitter away her life. Not sure I want to commit that much time to it, at this point in my life.
From what I have read of your writings, what you say appears to hit the mark in so many ways.
I am shocked by the Christian teachings that instruct people specifically “how” to study God’s Word in the “right” way – “how much time to spend” praying and studying the Bible — “how” to come to the “right” interpretation of each Scripture verse/passage (guided by them — tying the hands of God and Jesus’ Holy Spirit, and ignoring that God’s Word is living and active . . . ) — insistence that increased Bible study, prayer and intersession, by their sheer weight, automatically make us closer to being better Christians — closer to perfection and more pleasing to our Lord and Savior.
I seek God’s direction through His Word, and through what His Holy Spirit brings to my mind (Scriptures I am reading and have memorized, and guidance He gives to apply His Word and principles in His Word).
But consistently a lot of Bible teaching today insists that more and more hours a day in Bible study and prayer, are the goal – leading to perfection and favor in our Precious Lord’s eyes — that the measurable hours equal becoming like Jesus. They teach we are a failure if we don’t fit their formula.
I know I will always fall short of perfection (all are sinners and fall short…) — but I am perfectly loved the same every day by God and Jesus. I want to live my life to please Them, sharing Their love and grace and forgiveness with people in my life – and sharing Their Word.
But, where do you put “work out your salvation with fear and trembling?” I take those words as a real reminder to me that God’s gift of salvation is not to be taken for granted. There is a fine line between compulsion, and a serious reminder not to ignore what Jesus puts in my heart. Like so many things in God’s Word that appear at first to be contradictory — they are just a tension — finding the point at which they meet may be where God wants us to live.
I will not ignore the warning to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Eternity with God and Jesus in heaven, vs. eternity in hell– are not to be taken lightly (gross understatement). Because of that I take seriously Their encouragement to love others in the way They love me — and to encourage others in their faith, or pray that our Lord will rescue them and draw them closer to Him through His Holy Spirit.
Please elaborate on “work out your salvation with fear and trembling.”
Thank you very much.
God bless you,
Donna
Hi Donna,
I know the $299 price is hefty. But please, if you want to take the course, do not pay that much! People who join the “Hope” membership level can take the course for only $9 per month. The “Love” membership level saves even more with an annual payment.

I hope to add more courses in the future which members can also take for free.
Anyway, Philippians 2:12 is one of the verses I will deal with in a future course on tough texts of the gospel. It definitely doesn’t mean to “work for” your salvation. It is also important to understand how the Bible uses the word “salvation.” The word salvation never refers to “receiving eternal life.” With these two points in mind, the verse basically says: “Explore and put into practice the deliverance and rescue plan that God has given to you. This is serious business, so don’t take it lightly.”
Just a question. Since 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 says “saved” and “gospel” I’m confused by it.
It does mean eternal life if we believe it, correct?
Bible study and prayer do indeed have their place, but I agree with you that as followers of Jesus there is more to life, such as doing what Jesus tells us to do, namely loving our neighbors. I remember the fellow we once knew who attended five Bible studies each week. However, he didn’t even know any of his neighbors.
We work with the poor and homeless, and think it remarkable how difficult it has been all the years we have done this to find religious people, especially Christians, who have any interest or time for anything to do with the poor or homeless. But many of them attend multiple church services, Bible studies and so on. We know Christians who have time for the poor and homeless, but it is far from the norm. There seems to be a huge gap between studying the Bible and (assuming we really believe what it says, and especially what it records Jesus telling us to do) actually understanding it and doing what it says.
Yes, I heartily agree that, as you say, we are “perfectly loved the same every day by God and Jesus,” even if we don’t attend five Bible studies every week, or understand Jesus’ admonition to “love your neighbor.”
Your comment reveals a lot of spiritual maturity and understanding. We agree that God’s Word is “living and active.” To which I might add, “as opposed to rigid and only to be understood in one way now and forever” (which usually means in the one and only forever and eternal way that someone else is telling me it must be understood).
Course 7 if I heard correctly said stop if you got it ,lol I’m at work listening here and there when time provides I’ll listen again completely again tonight ,but Jeremy is this what you were saying .?
Well, I was sort of saying that. If you understand that eternal life is by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, plus nothing (not even this course!), then you don’t even need to take this course … unless you want to. But some of what I am saying in the course might be a good refresher, or provide a different perspective.
Thanks for the teaching .
I love your illustration and differentiation between the Eternal life and Abundance life. Eternal life is by grace and faith alone while the Abundance life is by good works. Thank you for clarification on the evangelism and Gospelism. Once again I want to say the course worthwhile and enjoyed every bit of if.
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for this fascinating exploration of grace.
I cannot help wondering if the centuries old Faith vs Works argument is a false antithesis. Surely there are times when continuing to trust is a conscious choice rather than innate belief; faith and work can become one, as in marriage.
Carry on the good “work”!

I received Christ when i was 21 I’m 57 now. ihad sin in my life and I prayed that if I didn’t stop to send me to hell needless to say I sinned and I had great fear of going to hell. in the course of time I got married and during marriage lessons the pastors how my sin could be wiped clean no matter how bad
what biblical verse support women can lead the church as pastor
The Calvinists particular Baptist I’ve run into argue about so many things duty faith don’t invite Jesus into your heart whatever it may be most the message I’ve heard seem to be comforting people and unbelief the gospel is staying in first Corinthians 15 and no One believes it what Paul received was that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures no one’s teaching that God is not angry with sinners today according to 2nd Corinthians 5 they attacked dispensationalism for pointing out that there was no message of the Cross during his earthly life
