1 | Must we keep the law to be saved? | Rom 3:28 | Mathew | 88986 | ||
Hello Radioman, Concerning this topic of once saved always saved. God will not take back what is freely given. But when does a person truly obtain salvation. God said that his reward is coming with him on the last day. Most men have not received this reward yet. Here are some scriptures to support my view: 1Pe 1:4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in Heaven for you 1Pe 1:5 by the power of God, having been kept through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time; Lam 3:26 It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body. Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why does he also hope for it? Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that which we do not see, then we wait for it with patience. Rom 13:11 This also, knowing the time, that it is already time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. 1Pe 1:8 whom having not seen, you love; in whom not yet seeing, but believing in Him you exult with unspeakable joy, and having been glorified, 1Pe 1:9 obtaining the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. You also state that we keep Gods commandments because we are saved. But know man has truly obtained it yet. Also in Eccl. God had even died for are sins yet, but it states Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man. So salvation is not the modivation to keep Gods commandments. But obedience is. Here is how a person should take Gods promiss according to scripture. Phi 3:11 if by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead. Phi 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I also was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Phi 3:13 My brothers, I do not count myself to have taken possession, but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind and reaching forward to the things before, Phi 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Phi 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be of this mind. And if in anything you are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you. Phi 1:28 and terrified in nothing by your adversaries. For this is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. Phi 1:29 For to you it is given on behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake, Phi 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling. Your Brother in Christ MaTT |

2 | Must we keep the law to be saved? | Rom 3:28 | Radioman2 | 88993 | ||
"Salvation is not a reward" Matt: You write: "But when does a person truly obtain salvation. God said that his reward is coming with him on the last day. Most men have not received this reward yet." My reply: Ephesians 2:8-9 New Living Translation (NLT) God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

3 | Must we keep the law to be saved? | Rom 3:28 | Mathew | 89002 | ||
Hello Radioman, The New Living Translation does no justice to this verse of Eph.2:8-9. Here is the MKJV Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. The King James Version tells us that we are saved by grace through faith. The NLT says nothing about faith. And we all know that faith without works is dead. I agree that we cant boast in the fact that we somehow obtained salvation. I beleive that every man will be a sinner on judgment day. Not one person more guilty than the next. Gods mercy will save whomever he wills to save. We are just clay he is the potter. But wishful thinking and saying that you said the sinners prayer as fire insurance. And even living for Christ for a season but then dought that there even is a God later. Because its been so long and he hasnt come back yet. Chosing to deny the Holy Ghost is unpardonable. All sin will be forgiven. But denying God with are unfaithfulness and are evil works speak louder than words. And will not be forgiven. Your friend MaTT |
