Subject: Mark 16:16 what does it say? |
Bible Note: Hello Tim, You wrote; "I have the promise of Scripture that if I call upon the Lord, I will be saved." I Never Knew You (5) 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER in heaven. 22Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' We see here that many will call upon the Lord and still be lost! You have to do somthing to be able to stand justified before the Lord! Read on Build on the Rock (6) 24 "Therefore WHOEVER HEARS these sayings of Mine, AND DOES THEM, I will liken him to a WISE MAN who built his house on the rock: 25and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; AND IT DID NOT FALL, for it was founded on the rock. 26"But EVERYONE WHO HEARS these sayings of Mine, AND DOES NOT DO THEM, will be like a FOOLISH MAN who built his house on the sand: 27and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. AND GREAT WAS ITS FALL." Ther were two men here, one a wise man and the other a foolish man. If the Lord does all the pick and choosing then doesn't this seem like a cheap shot to call a person foolish when he has no choice? And answer me this then, does the Lord have to save you before you call on the name of the Lord? Remember the ones above they called but were lost! Raven |
