1 | Do you believe once save, always saved. | Luke 23:43 | Hank | 4207 | ||
Your answer is a fine one, well stated. I think much of the misunderstanding regarding the teaching on the eternal security of the believer stems from a misunderstanding of what grace really is, an outpouring of God's "agape" love that is unconditional and has nothing whatever to do with our good works. But at the same time we are not exempted from walking in the same manner as Christ walked (1 John 2:6) nor from making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). We are not to continue in sin so that grace may increase (Romans 6:1). Clearly the Bible teaches that we are not to accept the generous offer of salvation by grace through faith and be done with it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer calls this "cheap grace." --Hank | ||||||

Thanks for your comments. I agree with you that we don't want to flaunt or cheapen the grace of God. Thanks be to God that we (I) are works in progress, and that we can boldy approach the throne of His grace daily for cleansing and strength. David | ||||||
