Bible Question: Most, if not all of us, on the forum seem to be in general agreement about what we must do to be saved. But after salvation, what obligations does the new Christian incur in his or her walk with Christ? To recaste the question, what comes after salvaton -- what do we do next? --Hank |
Bible Answer: Hank: Q: What comes after salvaton -- what do we do next? A: Luke 9:23 (ASV) And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Rom 13:8-10 (ASV) Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law. (See also Matt 1:1 -- Rev 22:21) |
