When circumstances aren’t exact ideal, or should you find yourself unsure of your current situation, do you still count God as faithful? As you think about that for a moment, consider those who came before us.

 The Basics (Part 4) continues in a series taken from Hebrews 6:1-2, which lists some basic elements of the Doctrine of Christ. This is a continuation of basic #2: Faith Toward God.

 We’ve already established that our righteousness is based on faith in Jesus Christ alone. Does that mean there are no works involved? No, on the contrary. They are called works of faith. As we entered into God’s grace through faith, works became part of our new nature. They are the result of faith.

So what are works of faith?

  The Basics Part 3 transitions into basic # 2: Faith Toward God, which is part of the basic elements of the Doctrine of Christ. As we shift into faith toward God, there’s one more area to cover in relation to repentance from dead works, which will make for a great transition.

   In part one, we discovered dead works are anything not of faith, or outside of Jesus. Some could be considered religious acts rooted in self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Much of it leans toward unbelief.

   Okay, here is one part to really consider as we begin to focus more on faith, because it can have an adverse effect on your walk. Be wary of trying to add things to the righteousness that is of faith. The religious dos and don’ts take away from the relational value of faith. In fact, it can move you into doubt and self-righteousness. Moreover, don’t allow others to place you into bondage by projecting their idea of righteousness on you. This refers to those things not backed up by Scripture, and rooted in the traditions of men.

   Last blog, we looked at some definitions of repentance. One of which was a Hebrew word (Old Testament), SHUWB (Strong’s 7725), pronounced, shoob, which is a primary verb that means to turn back; hence, to turn away. It has other connotations outside the realm of repentance, but those won’t be addressed here. There is an important clarification that must be made concerning this word. One we don’t want to miss.

   Previously, I mentioned the emphasis placed on the word in relation to national repentance. While it does often emphasize repentance on a national level, it in no way removes the individual application. In fact, it may actually reveal greater individual responsibility.

   The first place we find repent in the Bible, actually speaks in relation to God (Genesis 6:6-7). However, it is the not same Hebrew word that we just covered. As we define this particular one, it will also help clarify what it means when the Bible talks of God repenting. Of course, He has never needed to repent of anything.

   We'll also answer this question: Did Judas repent?
