21 | Am I understanding you so far? | John 3:16 | welldigger | 64921 | ||
To be sure I understand you, I will attempt to state what you have said in my own words and using scriptures I have been studying on. Please correct me if I am not understanding you. You said “being imperfect, I fall short and must rely on grace”. By saying that you are “imperfect, and fall short”, you are saying that you are not without sin, that is, that you do still commit sin. According to the following scripture, you are breaking the commandments, since it says that sin is defined to be breaking the commandments. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. (1 John 3:4) So it seems you are saying that you do sometimes break the commandments and therefore do still commit sin. Also, according to the following scripture, the payment for sin is the death of a soul in hell. For THE WAGES OF [(or “payment for”)] SIN IS DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Now, by saying “if we do fall into sin we can be sure God's grace is sufficient to cover that sin also”, you are saying that God will forgive you of those sins that you commit because of the sacrifice of Jesus. The following scriptures speak of the forgiveness of sins being dependant on the sacrifice of Jesus. Without that offering/sacrifice of Jesus, there would be no forgiveness possible, because it’s BY that sacrifice that forgiveness is possible. By the which will we are sanctified through THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, AFTER HE HAD OFFERED ONE **SACRIFICE FOR SINS** for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Hebrews 10:10-12) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom WE HAVE **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE; (Ephesians 1:5-7) So you are saying that you ask God to forgive you of those sins that you commit, and He grants you that forgiveness for those sins you committed **BECAUSE** the sacrifice of Jesus was the payment for those sins that you committed. That is, that Jesus paid for those sins that you committed, in your stead, so that you wouldn’t have to pay for them yourself, by the death of your soul in hell. Am I understanding you correctly so far? |

26 | What about John 14:15? | John 3:16 | welldigger | 63888 | ||
I agree, according to the scriptures, Jesus is the way God made to obtain eternal life. Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of *JESUS CHRIST* of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. (Acts 4:10-12) And from *JESUS CHRIST*, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD, (Revelation 1:5) But what about this scripture? If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15) |
