Bible Note: Hi Art, I'm glad for your presence in the forum. You write, "We are saved or condemned based on if we have accepted Christ." This is not quite right either. The basis for salvation and condemnation are different. True, if we don't believe in Christ we are condemned already (John 3:18, 36), but the reason we're already condemned is not because of our lack of faith, but our lack of righteousness, that is, our sin. So, while the basis of our salvation is God's grace through faith, the basis of our condemnation is God's justice and our sin. Peace, Lionstrong |
