1 | WHO pays the wage? | 1 John 1:9 | Dalcent | 134702 | ||
Where I stand on the matter of salvation by works? In half a verse? ...faith working (ENERGEO) through love. (NASB) ....faith activated and energized and expressed and WORKING through love. (AMP) NOT by faith alone, we only find that once in the Bible: James 2:24 (ESV) You see that a person is justified by works and NOT by faith alone. I don't care what the central tenet of the Reformation was, it's no Holy Cow to me. I prefer the Biblical texts to medieval backsliders. Dalcent |

Dalcent, It's clear that we don't earn salvation, that's a work of God, but are you saying we must cooperate with God in order to work out our salvation anyway? Colin |

Colin, We are God's co-workers or fellow workers in Christ and working in Him we coform ourselves to Him and grow in sanctificaation through our work with and in Him. Rom 16:3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, Rom 16:12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord. 1 Cor 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. Emmaus |
