Bible Note: Rowdy, You're almost getting it my friend:-) If you would, re-read what Tim wrote you. It is succinct. You said "But I'm convinced like you that we can't possibly earn our way to Heaven but I'm also convinced we can't go to Heaven unless we've done everything in our power and truly gave it our best effort to be fruitful and productive in the Lord's vineyard." This still sounds like you're stradling the fence- maybe we need to substitute "should" for "can't" when you speak of going to heaven. It's a done deal if I'm IN CHRIST! I am motivated to good works BECAUSE of His grace (Eph. 2:10,Titus 2:11-12). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
