Subject: Must we keep the law to be saved? |
Bible Note: Thanks BradK, I can truly respect your views. I find it difficult to discredit the fact that a person can lose there salvation. But I still beleive that we all earnestly "wait" for the adoption of our bodies unto salvation. This is the only salvation that matters. This salvation and gift of immorality can not be taken away. If only there was a scripture that stated that we dont have to remain faithful to the end to inherit his promiss. I see it that Gods promiss was unto his children. Children of light and not children of darkness. I do know enough to understand the concept that Gods ways our higher than my own. And because of this I need Gods grace on a daly basis, not just on the last day of judgment. No man needs Gods grace any less than the next. It does seem to me that the fruit we bear matters though. At what point a person starts bearing bad fruit, I have no idea. Joh 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I do agree with you that we our saved according to our faith in Gods promisses. But not blind faith. Because I read that one person says they have faith. But another shows there faith by there faithfulness(works in the Lord). So if we are saved by faith in grace. The only question should be: What is true faith? You could also restate the "saved by faith in grace" statment. Maybe you could say that we are saved by our faithfulness that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, our propiation. But to harden our hearts to this fact at any moment is rejecting the Holy Ghost. and yes you have helped, MaTT |
