Subject: ?self effort 2 B holy now vs befor saved |
Bible Note: "Won't work. Can't be sustained because it is from self effort that you attempt to perform the task regardless of how many graces you 'conjure up'." So grace is something we conjure up, now? "Isaiah' mention that there is none righteous has to do with a very specific time in Israel's history having to with their rebelliousness [which is as the sin of witchcraft; no righteousness here. No, not one was.]" So Paul lived long after Isaiah. What did he mean when he said "No one is righteous."? "But she said she is saved. Now what self effort needs be expended on her part that is different from the time she wasn't saved. I think I'm reading her correctly and that is what she is asking." Tell ya what: why don't we let her answer for herself? A novel concept, to be sure, but let's try it and see what happens... "Empowers us to fight?" I know that quoting extensive Scriptures will probably do no good here, since the cement in your mind has already set, but here goes: Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. --1 Timothy 6:12 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith --2 Timothy 4:12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. --Romans 8:12-13 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. --1 Peter 2:11 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. --2 Corinthians 10:4 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. --Philippians 3:13-14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. --Romans 13:14 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel --Philippians 1:27 For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. --Colossians 1:29 Fighting, warfare, striving, pressing on; all of these WE are commanded to do by the power that comes from the Spirit of Christ. Need more? --Joe! |
