1 | What about John 14:15? | John 3:16 | John Reformed | 63966 | ||
Dear Welldigger, The question you pose arises from the belief that salvation depends on what man must do. I believe that salvation depends on what God has done for man. No one loves Christ perfectly. No one keeps His commandments perfectly either. Even Paul confessed Rom 7:18,19 "For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want." I depend upon a righteousness that comes by faith in Christ. I require grace to obey even the spirit of the Law. And as for good works, I pray that God will grant me the desire and the will to accomplish them. 2 Thess 3:4 We have CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. Perfectionism is unscriptural. We must await our glorification before perfection is a reality in our lives. I hope this helps. John Reformed |

2 | You do sometimes break the commandments | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65106 | ||
You said "No one keeps His commandments perfectly either." Are you saying that sometimes you do break the commandments? I think that's what you are saying, but I want to be sure and not make an assumption. | ||||||

4 | You probably have read this scripture | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65114 | ||
Please bare with me John. Basically, I am asking the same questions that God asked me awhile back. That is, I used to believe the same way that you do today awhile back. But God came and showed me that what I was believing was not in agreement with the scriptures and was a lie. Then He showed me the truth and I really am just wanting to share that with anyone that is willing to allow Him to show them also. The next question He asked me is this: You have probably read this verse: For THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Wages equals payment, right? So, if the payment for sin is the death of a soul in hell, then how come you won't have to pay for those sins that you committed by the death of your soul in hell? |
