Bible Note: BradK, Maybe Im misunderstanding you about this statement. You said "Our righteousness is either based upon Gods sovereign grace or our works. If it's our works then I have something in which to boast." You quoted 1Cor.1:31 to back this up. Can we boast that we are justified by works? God. Rom 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boast; but not before God. 2Co 11:30 If it is right to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness. Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. However I can see were your coming from, after reading Romans chapter 4. The scripture that you gave me to prove that we are saved by grace alone I agree with. But we are saved by faith in grace. When I asked if grace alone keeps us in rightstanding with God. I more less was refuring to christian character, are walk with God. But I ran across this scripture also. Rom 4:6 Even as David also says of the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works, I guess Im kinda confused now. Im wondering if a person is saved can he backslide. God shows mercy to whomever he choses to show mercy. And if he choses us, and not the other way around. Then I must beleive that his word wont come back void, and we are truly saved. Why should a person even try to walk in newness of life, if God will show mercy to whomever he will. Does the bible say we have a better chance if we walk a christian walk? Are my chances just as good if I receive Christ and do all the lustful things i want? MaTT |
