1 | is there security of the believer | Rom 8:39 | Nobel Kam Aixen | 68318 | ||
I think what you have shown us is that you are somewhat limited in your abilities. God has no such limits. He is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. It must be said, however, that salvation is not like getting on a boat. The Lord requires repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. When we turn to him in faith he saves us, and the job is finished. Yes, there are other things required of us after that, but not for salvation. We love him because he first loved us. We serve him because we are saved. Let us, each of us, make sure we are. But we cannot save ourselves. We need him. |

Lets not read more into "He is able" than what is written "He is able" means exactly that. The secondary part that must be considered is: Are you willing? Or since becoming saved are you now a puppet, or robot, that is unable to still make choices? Blessings New Creature |

'Lets not read more into "He is able" than what is written "He is able" means exactly that. The secondary part that must be considered is: Are you willing?' Funny...I don't see the words "Are you willing?" in the text anywhere at all...who is the one reading beyond what the text says? :) You wrote: "Or since becoming saved are you now a puppet, or robot, that is unable to still make choices?" At no time are we puppets or robots, before or after salvation. The essential question is whether God's grace accomplishes its purposes (i.e. in making us willing) or not. Does the efficacy of God's work really come down to me? What a reason to boast that would be! --Joe! |
