Bible Note: Dear Em, It was my sense that our friend was burdened with works salvation already. however, I did point out many of the graces which accompany salvation. Do you remember when you pointed out my failure to actually read your post? Well, this is part of what I said to Lightman: "Reading the Bible, prayer, good works, love of Christ, faithful attendance at church, etc. will not save anyone! Yes, these are wonderful attributes and we should strive to accomplish all that the Lord has commanded, but, they are the EVIDENCE of our salvation and not a MEANS by which we may gain or keep it. It is not uncommon for us to confuse good works as being a means of salvation rather than the evidence of salvation. Rom 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. John |
