    How Confidant Are You Being Saved?

    Heres your answer - straight out of the Bible.. 2 nd corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. This reminds us that God is our only Judge, and...

    The Law of Moses : Can't Define a CHRISTian. #1

    Behold said: Its Our Flesh that wants us to try to DO IT and Earn it and KEEP IT....., Its Our Lord who tells us to “work out” our Salvation, NOT WORK for it, with Fear and Trembling, for our humility to revere Gods Gift. Also: Romans 2:4 → don’t assume God’s kindness means no accountability...

    When Jesus "took away" your sin, did He leave behind the source, the sin nature?

    Romans 8:1 makes an emphatic statement Of no condemnation for those who are in Christ, yes? The problem is, we arent our own judge. We can think we are in Christ and be right In our humble opinion, or we can be wrong. When we see that scripture Supercedes Our own judgement, tells us “ we really...

    Crucifying flesh is the act that removes The chance to sin, its a proactive stance That doesnt let sin win, so some are confused In a purposely way, to crucify flesh is to Stop sin from thought, word or deed. Giving into sin is serving Satan.

    If we surrender again and again we lost it all, since id imagine you refer to surrender as A contuation in sinning? There is nothing in any part of scripture That speaks to anyone allowing sin to Be a part of their life, since that only points To not having ones heart and mind on Christ, yet...

    The Door Will Be Shut

    Grace does add up, its not cheap though some Think it is, since we have no idea if we have been given grace or not, and we wont really Know until God says Well Done, not when we Feel we went to God in our sins asking to be forgiven. Why? Because we dont know our own heart, And there is no...

    The Law of Moses : Can't Define a CHRISTian. #1

    Hello, Yes in large part this is all Gods grace, and Our being the other part of the equation Is why obedience comes from wanting To obey all God requires, and that is where We either, fail or receive His righteousness. Amen

    Workbased is all performance, obedience Teaches us the proper way in which to Think per the Word of God, and to remain Humbled, until at which time we all must Stand before Him and He asks us for an Account He says…

    The Law of Moses : Can't Define a CHRISTian. #1

    Hi You stated: My main point was simply that all of us stand condemned as sinners apart from Christ, and if God only extended grace to those who were already worthy, none of us could be saved. God was saving Righteous people long before Christ, not from His honoring their following The Mosaic...

    The Door Will Be Shut

    Yes Paul described the dual natures, yet He says thanks be to Jesus also, that once Christ was in His life those reactions to Obey flesh were Gone, so its not saying We do what we want when we want and We have no choice…. The distinction is, Paul was warring against Christians who loved Jesus...

    The Law of Moses : Can't Define a CHRISTian. #1

    Angelina said : I would only add that grace is actually extended to those who stand condemned by sin; otherwise none of us could be saved. The situation is, if someone was condemned Already, whereby its not welcome by God To give grace thats the problem of such an Issue. In other words, ppl...

    The Law of Moses : Can't Define a CHRISTian. #1

    What when the commandments are broken Do we have for an excuse if those Moral Laws are done away with, and we break Them? Jesus seems to think they apply, Paul backs It up as well, and the one who thinks nothing of it will reap its wrath. Grace cant be given to the condemned. It becomes a...

    New nature saidv: if something in you bristles at the idea that someone who messed up that badly could be welcomed home that easily, then you might have more in common with the older brother than The younger son had exemplified what Justice really means, and how everyone, Including God stands...
