The conscience, our own anxiety, and all slaves of the law bid us go the way of obedience to the very end in order to find peace with God. But the way of obedience has no end. It lies endlessly before you, bringing continually severer demands and constantly growing indebtedness.
@romanpiso@wendelltalks I think I Corinthians chapter one speaks directly to you, friend.
We preach the message of the Cross for life but to the perishing it is foolishness.
Your Creator is not mocked.
@EDubForFreedom@Thee_Bobby_Lee@VigilantFox@DrKStillwagon Check out โpH Miracleโ by Dr. Robert Young. Or there are quite a few other docs out there that have been telling the importance of alkaline pH interstitial fluids. And yes, lemon water does help along with sodium, magnesium, and potassium bicarbonates.
@JChristineJ Thatโs law, not gospel. We should always follow law with pure gospel.
And God hears all prayers of His baptized children, regardless if they โhear his voiceโ (which has nothing to do with Him abiding in us).
@NomianPro Faithful Christian? What exactly is that? How much church and bible study is required to pass your โfaithfulโ test?
He is faithful, thatโs what matters, most certainly not ours because we are sinners, unfaithful yet justified because of His faithfulness.
@pudicat11 Yes, itโs a terrifying thing too. Oh for prisoners of the law to be set free - is free indeed. I see them around me, either crushed by the law not hearing the gospel, or proud of their self-holiness illusion thru not being hammered by the law. Heartbreaking. Need Preachers.
If God has granted you repentance and faith, then you know who you see in the mirror and everyday is not truly you. Because you are not holy.
Christ in your baptism says that you are holy because of him crucified.
Do you trust your own eyes or Christโs Word of promise?
@TfabEliza Yes they are. Know that this earthly consequence is the only judgement that you will ever experience because all your sin is forgiven for Christ Jesusโs sake!
I ache for believers that receive a steady diet of moralistic and externally-religious "Christianity" and are plagued by a lack of assurance.
Behavior change never has or will result in experiencing God's favor.
God accepts us on the basis of Christ, and changes us from within!
