1 | Is salvation by faith only scriptural? | James 2:14 | Reformer Joe | 54623 | ||
What does Romans 4:5 tell us? That was Paul's whole point in this section of Romans, and the point you deny to your peril. Your righteous deeds getting you to heaven? Please! "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." --Isaiah 64:6 That's you Isaiah is talking about! Do you think an infinitely holy and just God, who hates all unrighteousness with an unending, supremely righteous indignation, is going to look at your pathetic efforts and false righteousness and say, "Good enough; come on in!"? Examine yourself...are you really "good enough"? --Joe! |

Hello to all forum members, This is some neat things being disguss on this forum, I found site just an hour ago, and was reading some of the posts that were posted about faith, and Abraham. Can I just add something to the disgussion! I read Romans 4:16-25 vs.16 says everything was based on the promise God made to Abraham, that he would be the father of many nations vs.17. Faith of Abraham was imputed to him when he performed bringing in the seed of Isaac, that God who gives life to the dead and calls into existens things at are not. vs.18 Who, when things were against hope, believed in hope, that he might be the father of many nations, according to that which was (spoken), Thus shall your posterity (seed) be. vs.19-22 gives the answer to when it was credited for righteousness. 19 And not being weak in the faith he did not consider his own body, already dead,(here's faith) being a hundred years old; or the deadness of Sarah's womb. (This is the faith that saves) vs. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but being strong in faith, gave glory to God; 21 In full assurance that God was able to perform what he had promised. 22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness. Question? Was it mere consent, or was it the fact that he and his wife was to old to have children, and he and his wife had relations and she conceived in her old age? They trusted God, and that what he credited for righteousness. vs.23-25 says we are to have the same kind of faith that Abraham had, the dead received life by faith. Remember how he did it! |
