We have freeedom of choice. If we CHOOSE not to follow God and repent from our sins we will not recieve any redemption. God will not force us to recieve redemption if we choose not to. Yes, our salvation IS a co-effort between us and God. God did His part. We must do ours. James chapter 2 | ||||||

Actually, you need to make up your mind. No offense, but it sounds like on the one hand you say Jesus' sacrifice was only for those sins commited BEFORE His death on the cross. Rom. 3:25. Then you turn around and say His death is for ALL sins, for ALL time. I DO believe that His death is for ALL SINS, for ALL TIME. But only our PAST sins (the ones we have repented of) are forgiven. Sins we have not laid down at Jesus' cross are not forgiven. Even though the opportunity for forgiveness is given through Jesus. Yes, I believe that I am saved by Jesus' obedience and death on the cross. I also believe that I must join hands with Him to "work out my own salvation..." It is a conjuction of Jesus' actions with my own actions that saves me. With the help of the Holy Spirit (AND Jesus' sacrifice) this IS possible. This is what Rom. 8 means. Once we make our own commitment to follow Jesus, no one can seperate us from God. |

ooohhhh, now I have to type everything in again!!!!! Hey Joe, Do you have any scriptural references showing that Rom. 3:25 only refers to sins commited BEFORE Jesus went to the cross? I am well aware that Jesus' death on the cross was done once for all. But I wasn't alive back then. NOW is the acceptable time. NOW is the day of salvation. NOW is the time I choose to repent and follow Jesus. Each and every day is a new day with new sins and new repentance. My christian life is one of continous growth. Sure I will stumble at times and fall, but never give up. Pick yourself up again and keep going. Two steps forward, one step back if you have to. Crawl if you have to. Just DON'T GIVE UP. I think those texts in Heb. that mention drawing back and crucifying Jesus a second time refer to those that fall and DON'T get up. |
