1 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | TCfromCoventry | 196066 | ||
The 'last page' is Revelation 21 and 22. New Heaven; new Earth; new Jerusalem! Free water from the well of life, our rightful inheritance...lit by the radiance of God... seeing Jesus the Son with God the Father face to face...reigning for ever... healing of the nations... kings bringing their treasure... gates of pearl... walls of diamond. Of course God wins, he get the family, the community, the BRIDE He desires; those of us who are in Christ ARE that Bride. I repeat WE WIN!!! | ||||||

Sorry, Olive, I don't understand your question. | ||||||

You made sure you repeated or reiterated "we win" which can be seen as giving us the glory, like we had something to do with it. Yet all of things you mention that "we" receive are due to the grace of God. So I’m just asking, how does one win grace? Stand in His grace, WOS |

I hope you don't want to play a game of "I can be more pedantic than you can!". We win is just an exuberant expression of the Victory that Jesus Christ won through His death and Resurrection, that we share (BECAUSE OF GRACE, that He wants to share it with us, not because we deserve it or earn it, He chose us), and as I said previously 'we' refers to Christ getting His bride, God getting His family and all of us living together in a new Creation with no evil or tears. That is put into a scenario of imagine you were reading a 'whodunit'. Normally the fun would be to read page by page until all is revealed on the last page. but if you can't bear the suspense, you can 'cheat' and look at the last page, which technically spoils the enjoyment of the rest of the book. The Bible isn't a 'whodunit', so it doesn't spoil anything to look at the last page; in fact, it's very encouraging (that's what the Book of Revelation is for, to show us that all the increasing mayhem we're having to live through is worth it in the end). It shows that God's plan WILL succeed, that there will be a glorious victorious ending - and WE are PART OF IT! Now I hope that settles it. | ||||||

So in a roundabout way, you intended to express that the "victory" is solely God's and that He so graciously permits us the benefits of the victory He secured. Pedantic? Please. I’m as unqualified as they come, so even if I tried, I don’t believe I could nitpick and would truly not want the same done to me, as I do make many errors or misstatements and have so much more to learn. I just simply saw an opportunity to give credit where credit is due in response to a statement that in this layman’s understanding, may not have. I feel better now that it is clear as to where the Glory belongs, don’t you? Stand in His grace, WOS |

Good morning, Wild Olive Shoot! This is the day that the Lord has made; we shall rejoice, and be glad in it! Your answer brings joy and relief. My life is going through many changes just now, and nitpicking is the last thing I'm interested in either! Maybe you know that God's Word tells us not to as well? John6:43 and 1Tim6:4 are quite clear. By the way, while I know quite a lot of what's IN the Bible, I'm very shakey about where! The only reason I can quote the verses above are by checking it out on Biblegateway.com first! So have a wonderful day, rest assured I love you as a brother (sister? I had the cheek to address you as 'Olive' in a previous answer!). And if we don't meet in 'this lifetime' I look forward to meeting you 'in the next' - as they say! |

Good morning TC, Just a little hint if you want it :-) Before you click on a title bar to add a note you can click on the poster's screen name to the right of the question title bar and that will take you to their profile. Very often that will give you a little bit of info about the person: their gender, marital status, Bible college or not, a parent, how long saved, etc., just a little help in knowing each other better!! Isn't it great to know what a large family we're a part of? And how many wonderful people there will be to meet?!! Have a wonderful day Shalom Cheri |
