Bible Note: Dear zach†, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Friend, even if you did trap me with your questions, I could always plead stupidity or temporary insanity! :-) I do see what you mean. And I probably know most, if not all of the many other verses you could quote. I could also quote to you a good many verses that speak of the sovereignty of God and His graceful election, but I won't. :-) I strive to keep the commandments of Jesus, that I may show my love for Him. But neither my keeping them, nor my love for Jesus save me. "Don't these verses teach us something about the importance of our responsibility to obedience to the faith?" Yes, they do, and I pray that our obedience is noted. But I do not think that this obedience will save my soul. I sometimes think that there will be those that are sure their works were 'gold, silver and precious stones,' but on that day find that much was but 'wood, hay and stubble' in God's sight. They will be burned up, and he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. On the other hand, some that is considered trash by others, may be considered valuable in God's measure. Well, I must retire. It is late, and I am working 'double-shifts' these days.
