Bible Question:
Hi, As a christian,which of the following will earn more points? 1.Reading the Bible regularly everyday. 2.Searching and doing the will of God. Your comments, please. With love in Christ. FytRobert |
Bible Answer: FytRobert, Since you asked for comments, I'll offer mine:-) I don't like the term "earn points" as it implies a works based merit system, and it is contrary to scripture! (Rom. 11:6). It's certainly NOT based on grace. Now, I will agree that we should "do" both of these. However, it comes to motivation, and I believe one of the BEST verses speaking to this regard is Titus 2:11-12: "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age..." Just out of curiosity, how would you define "earn points" and what would be your scriptural basis for arguing such? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
