Bible Note: bartlay: I would like to point out the following: 1) Neither "a close relationship with Him (God)" nor our obedience can save us. We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Rom 3:28; Eph 2:8-9; John 5:24). 2) Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as THE SINGLE CONDITION in the NT (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). 3) A close relationship with God and obedience are the RESULT, not the CAUSE of salvation. 4) The phrase "living in sin" occurs nowhere in either the KJV, ASV, RSV, NASB, or NKJV. |
