Bible Note: Brian, Something doesn't gel. Here's how I understand the verses you listed. 1) 1 John 1:5-10 speaks to believers about fellowship and sin's effect on our our fellowship with God. 2) Eph 2:10 speaks of the good works which God prepared for us to do 3) Luke 11:9-13 speaks of the goodness and graciousness of our Father in Heaven 4) Romans 2:1-16 speaks about the condemnation of the Jew... but incidentally, thinking about verse 1, why assume that I won't study the Book if you discussed all the verses? 5) 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 talks about giving not work 6) Colossians 3:16-17 says "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus" but says nothing about work not being hard, tiring, or exhausting. Why does Christ commend the Ephesians for their toil? (Rev 2:2) What is "toil"? Why does Paul tell Timothy that "we labor and strive"? (1 Timothy 4:10) What does it mean to "strive"? For that matter, what is "labor"? |
