Bible Question:
Does Christ Stand Alone for Salvation? What did Christ accomplish on Calvary's Cross? I believe that the bottom line is that the sacrifice of Christ upon the cross is the only sacrifice which God accepts for our salvation. When we are in him by faith "we are accepted in the beloved" Salvation is not: " Be it known unto you both men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins; And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses." Acts 13:38-39 We should be cautious in adding discipleship as being meritoral to salvation. I am redeemed Robert |
Bible Answer: Robert, Funny,of all things, you would pick "discipleship". I fear that work the most... anything but that. I'd rather parachute out of a plane (and I don't like flying). I too try to avoid discipleship, rationalize it,etc. But the Bible NT is just oozing with how we need to be disciples of the word. If you get the Bible down to two words they would be faith and love... and discipleship is THEE act of love I think in our culture today we worship Image more than Money... I'm a product of that culture. Hopefully, overtime, I will die to that part of it. WAK |
