NASB | Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:28 For we maintain that an individual is justified by faith distinctly apart from works of the Law [the observance of which has nothing to do with justification, that is, being declared free of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]. |
Subject: Must we keep the law to be saved? |
Bible Note: Hello Radioman, The New Living Translation does no justice to this verse of Eph.2:8-9. Here is the MKJV Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. The King James Version tells us that we are saved by grace through faith. The NLT says nothing about faith. And we all know that faith without works is dead. I agree that we cant boast in the fact that we somehow obtained salvation. I beleive that every man will be a sinner on judgment day. Not one person more guilty than the next. Gods mercy will save whomever he wills to save. We are just clay he is the potter. But wishful thinking and saying that you said the sinners prayer as fire insurance. And even living for Christ for a season but then dought that there even is a God later. Because its been so long and he hasnt come back yet. Chosing to deny the Holy Ghost is unpardonable. All sin will be forgiven. But denying God with are unfaithfulness and are evil works speak louder than words. And will not be forgiven. Your friend MaTT |
