AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth [set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy]; Your word is truth. |
Subject: A work of God's Free Grace |
Bible Note: Grace will not manifest in a man's life without man's effort. Sanctification is a walk that a man must make. Each day of my life God reveals to me another way I can be more like Christ. Without that teaching along with my desire to improve I would be like the I regenerated man I once was. James is teaching us that while we are saved by grace we still have to walk the path salvation leads us on. Failure to do so makes us useless to God's service into which we have been called. As to answering my question either Biblically orthodox or in a way that satisfies my views. In other words your interpretation of scripture is the only correct way. And the Reformers were wrong when they said each man was capable of getting the correct interpretation of scripture himself. I don't think I hollered but but I said with the teaching you just espoused how did it related to the Book of James? Where is the work aspect of the Christian walk manifested and why? |
