1 | Jesus Died for all, why speak in parable | John 17:9 | flyman172 | 212179 | ||
Hello BradK, I have now received many answers and I will try to summarize. For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Even though God wants everyone to be saved, it will not happen because not everyone will believe, therefore Jesus does not need to be clear, which is why He speaks in parables. As He says, if He didn't speak in parables people might understand, repent and then be forgiven. Since it is God's will that only a few will make it to heaven, there really is no need for Jesus to speak so that everyone can understand. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for everyone, however some of it is only for the Deciples, the Jews, or the Gentlies. I do want to be saved to be with God in heaven but how can I be sure when on the outside I claim to understand, but on the inside I am still unsure of the meanings? What if I am not on God's list to be saved? flyman |

2 | Jesus Died for all, why speak in parable | John 17:9 | BradK | 212185 | ||
Hello flyman, Have you ever placed your faith in Jesus Christ, that He has died for your sins and forgives you? If so, you have nothing to worry about:-) The gospel is simple: "Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," (1 Cor. 15:1-4) "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." (Rom. 10:9-10) You can be certain, because God has said so, "...And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John 5:11-13) I hope this helps answer your question:-) BradK |
