Subject: Can a Christian reject God's grace |
Bible Note: There is a book called 7 Biblical Truths you won't hear in church. by David A Rich. There is a chapter titled Trying to live for Jesus will only Frustrate you. There are many good points which answer a lot of these discussion points and he does so with Scripture references. Ex." Living for Jesus is not what God has in mind for the Christian life. On the other hand living with Jesus is empowering and uplifting. And allowing Jesus to live throufg us is the very essence of what it means to be a Christian. As believers, Christ is in us. His life is perfect,holy, and pleasing to the Father. We no longer live, but Christ lives in us( see Gal 2:20).We cannot become "holier" by striving to please God. This is only accomplished through His Son." Capter 6 pages 79,80 of Davids book. IHS Ken |
