    Salvation is by Grace through Faith.

    eternallygrateful Did you know that seeing here is spiritual and comes from the new birth ? 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Otherwise man is spiritually dead and has no spiritual sight at all.

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    Jn 3:16 is also the world of Christ Sheep whom He gives to them Eternal Life. Jn 10:26-28 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Made of a women for who ? Gal 4:4-6 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his...

    Same thing, not of works. If you condition salvation on anything you do, it makes that which you did a reward, a wage, a work of merit !

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Redemption provides New Birth ! One of the reasons why Christ came to this earth, was to be made under the Law, for His Members [ of His Body] in order to redeem them from the curse of the Law, and that they may receive the Adoption of Sons ! Gal 4:4-5 4 But when the fulness of the time was...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    The World God so Loved ! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This world is not the object of Gods condemnation but of His saving purpose through Christ. Notice Vs 17 17 For...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    No Paul never said anything of the sort. If you believe your action of accepting Christ as you say, is what caused God to save you, if that action of yours made the difference in you being saved and lost, then you promote salvation by your works, no way around it. Paul condemns such teaching !

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Purpose and accomplishment of Christ death 2 Cor 5:15 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Paul here in this context gives us another purpose and accomplishment of Christ death for...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    1 Pet 2:24 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. The healing [ Spiritually] is the sure effect and benefit of His stripes [ or atonement], and His death in His own body on the...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    again, Sounds like you condition salvation on what a person does, that's salvation by works, by merit.
