Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: ooohhhh, now I have to type everything in again!!!!! Hey Joe, Do you have any scriptural references showing that Rom. 3:25 only refers to sins commited BEFORE Jesus went to the cross? I am well aware that Jesus' death on the cross was done once for all. But I wasn't alive back then. NOW is the acceptable time. NOW is the day of salvation. NOW is the time I choose to repent and follow Jesus. Each and every day is a new day with new sins and new repentance. My christian life is one of continous growth. Sure I will stumble at times and fall, but never give up. Pick yourself up again and keep going. Two steps forward, one step back if you have to. Crawl if you have to. Just DON'T GIVE UP. I think those texts in Heb. that mention drawing back and crucifying Jesus a second time refer to those that fall and DON'T get up. |
