Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: "It's really quiet obvious once you think about it. Jesus' death on the cross made it possible for us to recieve redemption." Again, please show me a single verse that refers to God's redemptive work as "possible." Redemption is always referred to as a completed act on the part of God through Jesus Christ. Even though I was regenerated ("born again") during my lifetime, God's redemption of me occurred in the first century. We all agree here that without faith it is impossible to please God. What is the source of that faith? Does it come from within us or from God? --Joe! |
