1 | Are all Christians going to heaven? | Matt 7:21 | Appleseed | 10618 | ||
Firstly thanks to all for answering. I do appreciate it so much. I know that not every answer is correct so I rely on the Holy Spirit to reveal the revelation through others. About the my response. I believe that Jesus is the door and doing God's Will is our step through the door. e.g. Parable of the Talents, Parable of the Faithful, Parable of the Evil Servant and of the Barren Fig Tree. But this verse baffles me. If I take the series of verses throughout the Word it does not seem to fit. But nevertheless I seek to understand. The meaning that I think Paul is talking about here is those who stagnate. Accepted Jesus Christ and that is it. Even though we are alive we can be dead through stagnation. If we read the verses leading up to this verse But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing. But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. (1 Thess 4:9-15). After he talks of Christ return. What are your thoughts? |

Ephesians 2:8... "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. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." (NASB) |
