Bible Note: Dear Parable, When using the word "responsible" I meant when He chose (John 15:16) us, He being the initiator, the one who is doing the work, it would be up to Him, not up to us, to deliver the doctrines that we come to understand. I had not thought of the second point you made but it is a very good one Once we are called we are set apart in the eyes of God and now have a special standing with God. |
