1 | Does faith require maintenance? | NT general Archive 1 | zach† | 35026 | ||
Galilee; Thank you my friend for the quick response. You made a comment which forces me to ask another question. You stated: "So we may not be "all" that we can be....how? By neglecting NOT rejecting our faith." I ask the following question not because I disagree with your comment, but I had a verse concerning "neglect" that came to mind. Let me post it now: Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; You mentioned "neglecting our faith" The above verse mentions "neglecting salvation" My thoughts are: faith and salvation differ. by grace are ye saved through faith. Eph 2:8 so once grace has come to us, we then are saved, but, salvation is through faith. My question is: If we "neglect faith" are we at the same time "neglecting salvation" also? Nice to meet you also brother Thank you :) In Christ zach† |

Hi Zach, Thats why I made the distinction between "neglecting" and "rejecting".The Hebrews were in danger of "rejecting" God's grace.I know the word "neglect" is used but it is not the same word/or meaning in english.Strange isn't it? We can use "neglect" but it means something different than the author of the Hebrews meant.O well its all greek to me....So to recap this........When I said "neglect" I meant something quite different than the context of Hebrews....BUT.... we should not take loss of rewards lightly....Im off to Church....have agreat Lord's day! |
