This knowledge that we ARE SAVES aught to lead the believer to produce good works though , though works in themselves , are not necessary I dont think for salvation . We should all FEEL the need to produce good works if we can , its like getting up for the days works. we want to make our employers happy with us , much moreso our God :) !

9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

I think these two verses have caused a lot of distress to believers. And what does "delivered thy soul" mean?
New "Christians" who aren't even grounded in the word or instructed on how to act, go out try to witness without even knowing enough to back up what they are talking about. This is the fault of the Church, who just sends them out half- cocked. You can tell someone about Jesus and salvation but you can't coerce, persuade, scold, bully, mock or beat someone into believing.
In this day and age, no one is looking for Jesus except those that already know Him. The Gospel is available in book form. (a.k.a. The Bible, and it's many watered down versions. I started out with a Living Bible and graduated to the KJV.) You can buy a KJV at Dollar Tree for a dollar. Then there's the T.V. and internet.
Jesus sent His disciples out to spread the Gospel, but He also gave them power to perform miracles to back up what they were saying. Today's believers don't have that kind of power. But, we do have an abundance of false preachers and snake oil salesmen, who do a good job deceiving people.
Trying to witness to today's unsaved reprobates is a complete waste of time. I'm not unwilling to witness. I'm afraid to, so I leave tracts lying around. (When I remember to stuff some in my pockets and take them out.)
For hundreds/thousands of years missionaries and preachers have spread the gospel by mouth and on foot. Then came the printed word. Then came telegraphs, telephones, radio, television, dvd's and the internet. This is 2021. I don't think there's anyone in the entire world that hasn't heard of Jesus in some way, shape or form.
I'm worried about my neighbor. She's old and a (non-practicing)Catholic. I tried telling her about Jesus and she replied, "I'm Catholic". She's a very stubborn woman who, once she gets an idea in her head, she can't be persuaded otherwise.
We can warn people but we can't make them believe. Why do I feel so uneasy?
cards, gave gifts and said Happy Holidays or Happy Solstice. But no one said "Merry Christmas."
I was the only one in the faculty that gave cards with the image of Jesus's birth on it, and had some
scripture. Our culture has become so secularized. It is now not at all PC in public schools to mention
Christmas, much less "Jesus.". One 3rd grader today saw a word in the dictionary, that mentioned "beliefs of
Christians." She said to me, "what's a Christian?" I heard another 4th grader who said they drove by
a building with a huge "T" on the building, and did not know it was a symbol of the Cross, and did not know
what that symbol meant. Are pagan traditions coming back to the "one world order"???

All other kjv bible versions only has 33 verses, including this one.
However, I recently saw a Bible study program on TV by Les Feldick who I never heard of before, but thought it was excellent and refreshing. He seemed to go deep into the word and was based on scripture substance and not mere feelings and opinion. I only saw part of one program so I cant make any sweeping statements about him, but the content I did see was excellent and maybe could be found online somewhere.

The Father of lights , how does Wesley get ALL lights ?
The verse does not say all light, but says the Fathervof LIGHTS!
He is the light that LIGHTETH every man , THE LORD IS THE FATHER OF EVERY MAN!
And furthermore, the explanation Wesley gives for NO SHADOW OF TURNING, is also incorrect. The notes read that some days shall be longer and some shorter. THIS IS SO INCORRECT! And should not have been added to discussion.
Shadow of turning, is the sundial clock. When it is hands straight up, the sun is directly above us, THERE IS NO SHADOW OF TURNING! And so, THE LORD IS ALWAYS DIRECTLY ABOVE US, THERE IS NO SHADOW OF TURNING. nothing at all to do with length of days. I am finding mistakes in wesleys interpretations.
I won't be reading His anymore.
Thank You JESUS
Peace
