Bible Note: John "If we are saved by grace, and not anything that we do (good works), how then can we forfit (sic) our salvation by something we do (an evil work)?" John first you primary premise is wrong, we do have to do something we have to believe. John 3:16 Secondly I never said evil works. I said if we break or reject relationship with Jesus. We stop depending on Him for our salvation. It is not a matter of poor God anything. God can do anything He desires, He has decided rather than force us to love Him, He allows us to respond to His love, the love He first showed us. God held out his hand it is a matter whether we chose to take it or not. Hebrews chapter 6 and 10 tells we can withdraw it once we have taken hold. If we do however God then withdraws his hand. Why is that so complicated to you? We see this pattern through out the Old Testament. God reaching out and men and women taking hold or rejecting God's hand. Is not the New Testament a continuation and fulfillment of the Old. Why suppose God decided to begin forcing Himself on believers now? God offered salvation freely and without cost to us. It a gift. We can accept it or reject it. We can treasure it or squander it. Why make it so hard? If we can’t lose our salvation explain men we both have seen, men serving God in good times and bad. Then completely walking away from God denying the faith, calling God a liar, and rejecting Jesus ever lived. John 3:16 says we must believe yet they say they don’t. Are you saying their still saved? How if they don’t believe. Or they were so fooled they only thought they were, and lived like they were. If that be the case can any of us be sure we are saved? If so how? These men thought they were saved, they were trusting in God for their salvation. EdB |
