Jonah 4:9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. 10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

We all can be Jonah and forget we can not breath right now , except by the power of God that created all things. The Lord is not happy with what we have done with His planet or His Word. There are many that have taught Grace without Faith. There are those that teach everyone is saved or like Jonah think they are the only ones saved. There are those that have called many thing theirs even a church.

“ Ephesians 2:8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”

What a powerful verse , a person or church does not save , an a synopsis of faith is found in Hebrews 11. True faith is radical change and we are in a rut of what church has done with faith. Acts shows what church looks like.

“Ephesians 2: 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

From land , a building, to a preacher , we did not purchase , build or create a church. Everything is a gift from God and we “by grace through faith , “ are saved. Faith is not easy , faith is hard and radical 360. Jesus is very clear few find it and was concerned He would find it when He returns. Why , because we became Jonah and decided things were ours and for us and God did and does not do things as we think He should.
God forgive us...
