Matthew

{13:20} But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; {13:21} Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.


James
{1:12} Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.


Saints are called to endure all temptation and tribulation without sinning. We stand fast in the faith of Jesus, by obeying the Father as the Son in all things.

1 Peter
{1:5} Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. {1:6} Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: {1:7} That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:


The trial of our faith is overcoming all sinning like Jesus.

The test of faith by unrepented sinners is not so. By their own confession of faith, they cannot obey God in all things like Jesus.

Therefore, their trial of faith cannot be to endure all temptation and tribulation without sinning. And since their only trust is in being saved by their own faith alone, then their only test of faith is to believe they are saved at all times, including during any and all disobedience to God.

Saints saved by the faith of Jesus, seek to endure temptation and sin not unto justification. Sinners saved by their own faith, seek to endure sinning and doubt not they are justified.

The faith of Jesus seeks never to disobey the Father. The faith of sinners seeks never to doubt they are saved by the Father.

1 Peter
{1:7} That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: {1:8} Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: {1:9} Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.


Saints endure any and all temptation to sin not unto eternal salvation. Sinners endure any and all sinning to doubt not they are forever saved.

Hebrews
{5:8} Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; {5:9} And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

{1:23} For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: {1:24} Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.


For the saints, the obvious decision of Paul the apostle was to remain on earth in the flesh, and be a good example of the believer and follower of Jesus Christ, by enduring all things yet without sinning with the flesh.

But since some sinners make their apostle to be double minded for life, and indeed the worst of sinners, then they must have a different take entirely.

Their apostle needs to remain on earth as a greatest example of sinning in the flesh, yet keeping his faith of being saved through it all.

Their greatest trial of faith, is during their worst of sinning, they never doubt their own salvation by their faith alone.

{5:8} Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; {5:9} And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;


The faith of Jesus is to not sin unto eternal life. The faith of sinners is to not doubt they have eternal life.

For the saints, being strong in faith is being righteous in works without sinning. For sinners, being strong in faith is being righteous through all sinful deeds. And the strongest faith is never doubting their faith to be saved in their most unrighteous times.

Just like their favorite double hearted apostle and chiefest of sinners amongst them all. His greatest example is never doubting his faith to be saved and justified, even in the darkest times of his own gross sin and unrighteousness.

Of course, the apostle Paul's greatest example, is never fainting in faith to sin not, neither doing any evil even in the darkest times of temptation, tribulation, and persecution for the sake of Jesus.

Yes we are saved by Christ's work of faith as a labor of His love alone. The mighty creative faith of God . the "let there be" and the testimony that God has spoke "it is God alone good..

In that way the faithful work of our savior.Who alone has the power to turn His work of faith into a labor of love displaying it by his promised three days and night demonstration to the whole world. I would think God drawing mankind to His written law the gospel .His gospel going out to the whole world

Remember God considers us dead as in "no faith" or power. Not little understanding of who he is, none . As born again from above he gives us little of His faith as understanding. . He is the storeroom of Christian faith as it it writen .he calls us of little faith .Just enough of him (golden measure) who moves us to both hear his voice and move us according to its power .

We are warned of them who speaks against the "two" used to represent the "unseen one", the Holy Father the one with power.

Our living God empowering the dead mankind again as one word "let there be" and the law of faith it was good was established.

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, (singular) it is because there is no light in them.

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed (dying mankind) , but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

In that way it clears up much confusion on how the word faith is used throughout the Bible Remember we have no understanding of our invisible God as dead. None of our own not a little none.

In James every time the word faith is used it is not respect to the one strengthened by the will our our Holy Father not seen the invisible head it never refers to human faith that cannot see past the tip of thier nose when he comes to the unseen matters as doctrines of God

James 2King James Version2 My brethren, have not the faith of (coming from) our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

(Persons dying flesh and blood Abraham Rehab) For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

James 2King James Version2:20-26 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works( Christ labor of love)is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, (Christ) when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith (Christ) wrought with his (Christ) works, and by works (Christ) was faith (Christ)made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works (Christs) a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,(Christs) when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith (Christ in us )without (Christ's) works is dead also.

The let there be and God's labor of love was God alone good
