Reading Acts20:24 and 1 Thessalonians2:19-20;3:8, I understand \Paul's inner joy was,nothing would keep Paul from having inner Joy with God,but his confidence in regard to eternity am having alittle trouble with,I believe that for him to have eternal life he must truly believe in God,which that is what he works so hard to please God and truly believe. Thanks |

I think the answer to your question lies in Romans 4:4, Titus 2:11 and Titus 3:7. I believe Paul was well aware that ultimately it is God's gift of grace through our faith in Jesus that gives eternal life. He attested in Romans that we cannot earn salvation through our works. Therefore, the race he is running is not a race of works to earn eternal life, but a race of perserverance to walk worthy of his calling, to glorify God, and to bring all men to the faith. It was the very principle of earning eternal life through merely trying to follow the law via tradition that Jesus spoke against in Matthew 15:1-9. So this concurs with your statement that he and we must truly believe (have faith) in God and more specifically have faith in Christ to be the propitiation of our sins to reconcile us that we may have eternal life. Also see 1 John 2:2 and 1 John 4:10. |

Gal 2:16 supports that its not by works but by faith. I should have included this in my previous posting. | ||||||
