1 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | inhisname | 79652 | ||
"With all due respect?" Have I not discussed the Bible? Have I not referenced Bible? Isn't Romans 10 verse 9 the plan of God to save? Did I not say that. God does it all, do you disagree? You did not answer my question "Abraham got righteousness by faith alone. Where are the works there?" by saying "Resulting from his saving faith". That means nothing to me, maybe you can explain it better. You cannot tell me that I'm saved without a work from first to last and then start telling me it's all about works. If you now expect a disciple to obey then you expect works. My understanding of Romans is that salvation is by faith only until death. I don't think you mean to suggest different. My humble opinion is you are misunderstandin me and caught. |

2 | What does this mean: James 2:21-23 ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 79683 | ||
inhisname, Please explain this scripture that Joe put forward: "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God." --James 2:21-23 What does this mean?

3 | What does this mean: James 2:21-23 ? | Bible general Archive 1 | inhisname | 79693 | ||
What does this mean? Because I believe that all men are utterly sinful and God can't even look upon them, then I know that man can do no work. God is Sovereign and He can't be resisted, correct? Since Abraham did work then it must no be his strength or will. So God is the cause and gets the credit. This verse talks about faith and works. Ephesians says faith is the gift of God. Philippians 2:13 says God does the works in me. Nothing else is left. That puts everything into the hands of the Sovereign God! That's why we say to God be the glory. Thanks Pastor |

"What does this mean? Because I believe that all men are utterly sinful and God can't even look upon them, then I know that man can do no work." If you are talking about unregenerate man doing works that glorify God, you are right. Being born again is a change in our natures, however. "God is Sovereign and He can't be resisted, correct?" He is resisted all the time. Every time I sin, I resist God. No one is successful at thwarting God's decree, however "Since Abraham did work then it must no be his strength or will." Not his strength, but definitely his will. "So God is the cause and gets the credit. This verse talks about faith and works. Ephesians says faith is the gift of God." And goes on to say that we were saved for the PURPOSE of works. Philippians 2:13 says God does the works in me. Does it? "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." --Philippians 2:12-13 Who obeys? Who works out their salvation in fear and trembling? God works in us, but the result is that WE will and WE work for His good pleasure. --Joe! |
