1 | Do you have to know Christ? | Eph 2:8 | BradK | 146652 | ||
Hello journey me, You might be confusing things here a bit:-) You say there are 2 ways to enter the kingdom of God? How so? There is but one way, John 14:6 always has been and always will be. Salvation has ALWAYS been by faith in Christ. Refer to Hebrews 11. My dear friend, the Law will only condem. It cannot save anyone! Galatians 3:21-22, "Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." Galatinas 2:16, "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Do you have to know Christ? | Eph 2:8 | journey_me | 146656 | ||
I believe you are right and believe what I have said was not written to convey the message clearly. I think what I was saying is that god made a promise though Abraham (the law) and through Jesus (faith). I was trying interpret what I believed the pastor was saying. I do believe that you are saved though faith along, but it is my undrstanding that Jews follow the law, because of a promise God made to Abraham, and that they believe they are saved as long as they follow the law or until their "messiah" comes (although we know he has already come). Is this correct? Galtians 3:6 Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a] 7Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”[b] 9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. |
