By the Questions and statements you have made one can see what you have believed..<<<When you trust what He did for heaven when you die...it interprets as this: Jesus did it all so I do nothing....I believed and I received it all...>>>
Not my interpretation, yours.
This is my interpretation. God is Him who saves me. I am saved by Him by His grace. He had done it by His Son Jesus Christ. He had quickened me, opened my eyes and ears, and given me a new heart, a contrite and repentant heart, brought me to repentance, had given me faith, faith through which He saves me. See what God does and works in me to save me? And me, none at all. After all of that, what then? What else, but spend my life with God, doing the good works which God had prepared for me to do, to walk in them. That is what I am supposed to do, not do nothing. How can I do nothing when God had done everything to save me? Can’t imagine doing nothing.

That gives me the impression that you have now become sinless. Perhaps you don’t get to confess any sin to God and ask for His forgiveness every praying time or every day. I am curious, since when have you been that way? If that were true, you are truly more blessed than many of us here.Post# 3485
Okay indeed. Because:
"He that committeth sin is of the devil" (1 John 3:8)
Worry then, if you think you can willfully reject whom you claim to be your Lord and Savior.You still need to worry about wilful sin.

You too.I thought about responding....but you really need to meditate on what has already been said...peace and blessings.....
Who do you address this post? Who do you refer to as mocking God?Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Gal 6
Peace Tong....Dusting...the dirt off..You too.

As I said I shared your joy and peace and still do. That is only the beginning of what joy and peace that the love of God brings to His child. Incomparable indeed! Such joy! Such peace! Such love! How could anyone who had experience that even think of throwing that away? No way for me! Not ever! How much more of the day that we see Him and be with Him face to face? Unimaginable, isn’t it?I had the most BEAUTIFUL day yesterday @Tong2020 ... It was perhaps the first time... in my entire life that I felt a JOY that surpasses all understanding. I am 58 years old.
In these weeks of frustration through out this thread ... I found myself trying to explain why I believe in Grace over legalism... One particular person here seemed convinced that I was condoning and embracing sin because I do not find it necessary or even my business to CORRECT random sinners that I do not know....
No matter how many times I told this person... I DO NOT CONDONE sin of ANY KIND... It is BAD... ALL of IT.... I was painted with the brush of ABUSER of GRACE... and labelled one who is DECEIVED. This topic is one of life and death... TRULY.... and not even for the obvious reason of heaven or hell... Legalism oppresses... suppresses and depresses those who bite into it...
I have been sarcastic at times... and funny at other times... but the fact of the matter is.... those who teach this message of HAVING to BE GOOD and DO GOOD... breath DEATH and JUDGMENT upon each other.
Thanks to BB and His Life... I was able to actually CLIMB out of the final nagging whispers of doubt that I am secure... and that I do have it RIGHT... which for me simply means.... RESTING in the FULL ASSURANCE of HIS Promises. I am SAVED because of HIS finished work on the Cross... My behaviour after this fact is my offering to HIM... and it is comes from GRATITUDE of knowing... yet not understanding this unbelievable cost to which my soul was purchased... That HE would die a terrible death for me.... little old nothing me... WOW.... There are no words to ever get my head around such a thought... and that alone... is what WE need to be meditating on.
We are all works in progress and sanctification is sacred ground... sadly... some believers do not give this due CAUTION.
@Eternally Grateful is preaching that? Never heard him/her preach that.Grace is NOT a licence to sin. YOUR erroneous preaching.
.
Never said anything about your intentions.....
Peace Tong....Dusting...the dirt off..
Not here to participate in drama..there are people who read these threads...and I will not go tit for tat with ya...My intentions are good, and will not participate in drama, just because we disagree. .....ignore time

And because you are the only one I know as of this day that claims such, and you throw in that passage, you seem to use that passage to indirectly say that every Christian who still commit sin isn’t truly is of God, but really is of the devil.
Perhaps you want to reconsider that.

I confess to not liking the company I keep.I never said it was
you continue to sin yourself. So instead of lying about my faith. Why don’t you fess up to the fact you excuse your own sin (or deny it like some)
HAHA.... I know you have me on ignore... however... Tong is one of the GENTLEST... CALMEST and HUMBLE posters on this site...Peace Tong....Dusting...the dirt off..

I agree everyone does live forever.Here is the question
We know everyone lives forever
But to think this life we now live has nothing to do with the next to me is an issue.
If you dont die tomorrow so you can "have heaven when you die" How are you going to live today? WILL YOU RELY ON GOD OR YOURSELF?.....
BECAUSE IT IS IN RELYING ON JESUS...WHERE LIFE IS in. THAT the life that is in Him sustains us in the life we now live.
TRUSTING JESUSHere is the question
