Bible Note: Hi Steve, Yes, I am saying that living a life free from sin is God's will and is very much dependent on our admission to heaven. I know that this is not a popular statement in this day and age. And I know that it is not God's will that we confess our faith in Jesus and drop dead. With your statement are you implying that you can't live a sinless life or is it that you choose not to? And if you truly believe that you won't make it, are you willing to do what it takes to make it? As far as not knowing anyone who will make it, as I have stated before on this forum not to let that discourage you because the bible says that there won't be many that will make it. Mt 7:14, Lk 13:24, 1 Pt 3:20, Lk 17:26-27. In Christ, Lanny |
