The Twelve Commandments of Free Faith
Faith is free. It is not something that we work for, but given by God by His grace.
Matthew 6:30 If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
The church is for everyone. Salvation is available to anyone who come to meet God.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Love is not conditional. Each person deserves to be loved, no matter where they are coming from.
Romans 3:9 Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin.
It is Jesus who calls, not humans. No one other than Jesus can say what one’s calling is.
Matthew 9:35 Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
The servant cannot be above his master. Servanthood and humility are what the Lord seeks from His people.
Matthew 20:16 “The last shall be first, and the first last."
John 15:20 "Remember the word that I said to you, 'A slave is not greater than his master ' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.”
To err is human, to forgive divine. Each person is a sinner whose salvation comes only through Jesus.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Worship is a lifestyle. More than songs and lip service, what counts is how a person lives his/her day-to-day life to glorify God.
Luke 3:8 “Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.”
Do not judge a book you have not read. Never condemn anyone based on what appears on the surface level.
Matthew 7:3"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Insulate, not isolate. As a Christian is in the world but not of the world, s/he need not separate themselves from humanity for fear of contamination.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Faith is not blind. One cannot believe without understanding and seeking the answers of his/her faith.
John 9:39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."
Live in genuine fellowship. Remember the grand commission: to seek and save the lost.
John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.”
Thou shall not steal. Theft and robbery of any kind do not and never will reflect God’s love and will for His children.
John 10:10 "The thief coes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life,
and have it abundantly.”
