Formalism, infused righteousness and antinomianism  

Posted on by asherdc89

Formalism is a form of godliness, that denies the very power of God unto salvation.  For the Gospel message is not embraced through faith, but unbelief.  A doubt in Jesus Christ‘s completed work of salvation. And seeks to earn God’s favour by the merits of one’s good deeds to receive justification.

Wherefore, there’s no relationship with God, where the heart rejoices joyfully and lovingly to serve and worship God through faith; but miserably obeys without love in high esteem of whom he hates. As a means for self preservation. 

Infused righteousness is instead of being justified by faith it’s believed to be justified by the deeds of the law. And sanctification not the work of the Holy Spirit in us, but by one’s own performance of good works and daily confessions of sin.

Antinomianism is against the law of God by keeping a law on to one’s own self. A self governing law, which is according to the individual’s ethical standards of righteousness, merit, capacity and reason. A law liberated from the law of God to live lawlessly in rebellion against His law.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
