Bible Note: Just some more follow up here, moms. [That blood has been shed, for the forgiveness of ALL sin - but only those who choose to accept, to trust HIS payment for THEIR sin are forgiven.] That blood has been shed for all the world. Why? Because God so loved it. But IF one rejects it when told, the power of salvation is made of no effect. [Prior to Christ's death and resurrection, people were declared "righteous" on the basis of their faith in God.] Not so. They were and will be declared righteous by their deeds of righteousness and that because they recognized there was a God. Remember many of whom I speak never had the law or the Prophets. [Gentiles] See: Rev. 20:12 (Dar) "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works." [See Hebrews 11 - men were approved on the basis of their faith. Just as in the days before Jesus, there is nothing we can DO to earn God's favor.] Sure there is. See God in things as Abraham-Lot and others did. God heard them and revealed Himself to them. They had no word to read day to day that their faith might be sustained by it. Ken Matthew 5:6 (Dar) Blessed they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. |
