AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:15 and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to Him and having absolute confidence in His wisdom, power and goodness]. |
Bible Question (short): What are the limits of salvation? |
Question (full): MJH, Thank you for your answer. Concerning the two assumptions you mentioned I don't know how much different my state could be. 1)I tend to rely very much on my cognitive acceptance of the truth exposed in the Bible and could not judge completely if my faith is lacking something more. Jesus is the reason of my hope because of His righteousness and holiness which I believe I am a partaker of and appreciate their value. To experience His love, mercy and compassion is a surprise to me and I am thankful for that. But I wrote my question because of my cognitive accent, as you say. I have been very concerned about how much evidence is necessary to guarantee that everybody has a just and fair chance to be saved. 2)Jesus mentioned hell more than everybody else so I think it is necessary to consider this reality as demonstrated by the following verse: Matthew 10:28 28 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. wry |
