Bible Note: Hello EdB, Question: If we are saved by grace, and not anything that we do (good works), how then can we forfit our salvation by something we do (an evil work)? How does this doctrine glorify God? Does it not have the opposite effect? Poor God... He trys as hard as He can to save people but most of time He fails. Even after they are saved He can't keep them saved. How powerfull can this God be if He can't even succeed in getting what He desires? That is not the God I worship! The God I worship is the God of the Bible. God-Almighty. Whatsoever He decrees comes to pass. Ps 148:6 He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a decree which will not pass away Deut 32:4 "The Rock! His work is perfect, Who works within us? Who started this work and whose is it to finish? Deut 31:6 "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you." David was not afraid of losing his salvation: Ps 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Sorry... I got carried away. John |
