1 | "objects of wrath" | Eph 2:3 | John Reformed | 99292 | ||
Dear Colin, There will be no excuses offered by anyone on the Day of Judgement. Each and every condemned sinner will know that they are due only justice for their crimes against the Lord of Glory. Neither will there be boasting among the saints. They will know that, had it not been for God's grace, all would have recieved justice rather than mercy. Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. A humbling and terrifying thought. John |

2 | "objects of wrath" | Eph 2:3 | EdB | 99294 | ||
John "Neither will there be boasting among the saints. They will know that, had it not been for God's grace, all would have recieved justice rather than mercy." Then why does the bible imply we will hear well done good and faithful servant? And why did the servant in Matt25:21 hear it? Should not the admonishment been I made you do it? In fact maybe Flip Wilson was almost correct when he said the devil made me do it. EdB |

"And why did the servant in Matt25:21 hear it? Should not the admonishment been I made you do it?" Hi Ed, Are you advocating boasting or just pulling my leg? Seriously...Praise from Jesus is more than any of us deserve. Apart from Him we can do nothing. I believe it is a wondefull expression of His love for us unprofitable servants. Afterall, it is'nt as if God Omnipotent needed our help. Flip Wilson may have been closer to the truth than some may realize. 2 Tim 2:25,26 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

John We can serve God or we can serve the world. Jesus made the admonishment to the servant who was faithful serving God. All through the Bible God calls His faithful servants, He commends them for their service. He commended Moses, David, Solomon his prophets and those of us today that call upon Jesus Christ as Lord and Master serving faithfully. Yes God can do anything but He has chosen not to violate our will. He took Adam and Eve into the garden and gave them a choice follow him or disobey. Look at the their temptation. the serpent didn't say eat it has been preordained, he said eat you will become like God. We are born with a propensity to sin, we can’t help it sin has entered us. One day that propensity leads us into actual sin and we are thus condemned. We never realize that sin until the Holy spirit comes upon us and we stand convicted. We then have the choice say hog wash we are as good as everyone else if I go to hell I won’t be alone or we can say Father forgive me by the blood of the Lamb who became to propitiation of my sin.
