Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: Hmmm...never thought about Jesus' coming as being retroactive. I did miss the faith side of things completely, didn't I? Thanks for pointing out my oversight. But then, this leads me to ask, why would God go into such great detail with the dos and don'ts (Ex. 20-end and Deut. 1-30)? I also believe Jesus mentioned that the old way was by law in conjunction with faith, but the new way is through Him with obedience. In other words, actions speak louder than words, but the actions don't mean anything if belief in God isn't motivating those actions. Reference Gen 26:5, Ex 18:20, Ezek 44:23-24. Essentially, works don't get a person anywhere without faith (OT) or Jesus (NT). I feel as if I'm drifting down the wrong path again, am I? No, I'm clarifying what I should have said and am answering my own question. Again, thank you. In Christ... |
