Bible Note: Dear disciplerami, Dear disciplerami, "A lot of people like me have a deep faith in the atonement that comes through Christ and we show it through our faithful obedience." John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." "There is nothing inherent in the word 'obedience' to suggest 'works salvation.' I don't have to believe in Calvin's tenets to know that salvation is a gift. But there are too many admonition/commands in the Bible for me to sit and tell anyone that God does it all." I do not deny that good works are an essential part of salvation. They are an evidence to me that God is working in me. But I do not give credit to myself for a good work, but I praise and glorify God for acomplishing the work THROUGH me. Phil 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure" "God did His part at Calvary." Heb 13:21 equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. "The blood that was shed there is powerful and abundant to take away the sins of every individual on earth. But God, no respector of persons, has not gone so far as to wipe out everyone's sins. He only does that for people who have faith." Answer me please: Why is it that some have faith and others do not? If you say all have faith but not all exersize the faith they have; again the question is why do some exercise their faith while others do not? "Agreeing on this point, we have a choice to make: does God give saving faith to an elect few, or is the Gospel truth sufficient enough to counter the false messages in the world so that the honest hearer repent and turn to God? I choose the latter. It makes the most sense" Question: Is honesty then, a prerequisite for salvation? I have to go to work; but I will continue as time permits (so to speak :-)) John |
