Bible Question: The answer is in the verse that's under disgussion, if you use the example that you gave about Monday to the next Sunday, there are no examples of that in the bible, God demans a responce from us now! not when we want to. Rom 6:5 it uses the word "if we" have been planted together with Christ in the likeness of his death, "we shall" be also in the likeness of his resurrection. So if you except him on Monday, and you wait until Sunday, all that time you will not be in the likeness of his resurrection! And not walking in the "newness of life"! And thus still dead. Rom 6:2; Col 2:13; Rom. 6:11; Eph 2:1,5-6 Here in vs.6 in Eph 2 it says: And hath "raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Then the next verse says we are saved by grace, what needs to be understood is "we are raised first to walk in the newness of life". vs.6! So should you wait until next Sunday? |
Bible Answer: The Bible is Right...your original question was when does newness of life start...I said the moment that you recieve Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior...Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved....I would not want to put off baptism so please don't miss understand me...but our newness of life begains at our conversion...there are many in the jails,nursing homes,hospitals,at the sceen of accidents,in planes crashing that dont have the oppertunity to be baptised before death but have called upon the name of the Lord...I believe they are walking in the newness of life...as far as putting of following what the Lord wants us to do...well, I will let God judge their thoughts and the intents of their hearts...God Bless |
