Hello GodsGrace. I just want to chime in for a second about "What IS our part anyway?" If you are talking about salvation through His shed blood then...you do nothing at all because He already did it. It's finished, and it worked...no need for Him to die over and over again...so to speak...

Awesome Scriptures for this...No third type. To give glory to ones self is to boast of what they did..like, parading it in public like "Look what I did! Aren't I Godly? I will give you a true example of the other kind right from my own Church! There is a man at my Church named Peter...he is...

AMEN to that. Back in the 90's when going throught the motions, so to speak but reading all I could get my hands on...I was constantly (in my own spirit) being convicted of my lack of good works...did not understand how it worked and, if someone would want a ride somewhere or certain...

Good morning GodsGrace, As I see it, there are 2 kinds of "works". The 1st is done so as to bring glory to themselves. the 2nd is the good works that come from the heart, prompted by the Spirit, where Glory is given wholly to the Lord and, of course, this is the true "good works" of faith. JMO

Yes, and I wonder if he ever eats fatty and sugary food...McDonald's anyone? ...yes? BAM- Your OUT of Gods family!...really dislike legalism.

:D

Do you have these repeated quotes of Paul saying these things? I do...but he means something altogether different IMO. God cannot lie. do you know the 1st thing I lost when I got saved? The fear of death. "Oh death, where is your sting" 1 John 5:12-13 He who has the Son has the life; he who...

Okay, you are a Hymn only sister? I like hymns!

Same here Helen! If they were subdued we would know right away which ones were not yet seen by us.

"(Luke 12:46) the master of that servant shall come in a day when he does not expect, and at an hour he does not know, and shall cut him into pieces and put him with the unbelievers. (NEV)" Another good post ;) I too believe there will be rankings in The Kingdom, and tears at The Judgement...

Yes amadeus, this I know but when I get the pop-up while reading a thread...when I go to see who alerted...there is no number anymore...even though I hadn't even clicked on it. It doesn't really matter because the new alert is always there anyhow. Thank you! God bless! -nancy

Thank you APAK...much food for thought here...never really understood these verses. Hard to understand a believer being punished for any transgression/disobedience though. Maybe made a vessel unto dishonor I thought. I will most surly read this portion closer.... In Him always! -nancy

Beautiful. This reminds me of one of my favorite songs titled FIRST by Lauren Daigle...love the lyrics!:

"Though He slay me..." Even when He is silent, His ways are always higher and ways better than ours...every time! Praise Jesus our King of Kings!!

Awesome! We will rise above our circumstances! Must keep our eyes on Him. :)

"We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 Good post!

"But, ......I will stop there. :)" Chicken :D

"Is there a difference the way God sees sin in different types of people?" ( is my inserting the quotations redundant?, lol) He certainly will with the unbeliever, lol! I believe all sin is equal in that it separates us from God, I've also come to believe that all sin has pride at it's root...

Just wondering what I did THIS time! lol...help?
