@wendywaddell7@replayfaktor grace is for the whole Christian life. We are already sanctified through Christ. Tetelestai for all of it including your best tries.
.
Faith destroying “preachers” quote law verses & are oblivious to the fact that no one does them.
They say you must do them or you might not even be a Christian.
You believe them because they’re reading it from the Bible.
Your faith is shaken.
Total ignorance of law & gospel.
.
If you’ve got a gospel verse, a verse of pure grace..and then you come across or someone brings to your attention a law verse (something that you should do or be)..
it’s the grace verse that takes precedence.
Each and every time.
God told the disciples 2 go into ALL the world & preach the Gospel because Jesus died for the sins of ALL the world. Not some, most or just certain ones he chose.
1 John 2:2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
@pudicat11 I do believe God gives us the faith by which we find THE way back to God aka belief in Jesus but I do believe He doesn’t force Himself on us & It’s His desire ALL come 2 repentance. Do u see it more like IF we believe in Jesus it’s bc God made us believe? Or unfair assessment?
@endtimeslife Well I do know His will is not for me to attempt to make myself “holier” by commandment keeping but by all means feel free to give it a go!
@pudicat11 Do you equate the faith which I agree is given to us by God with man’s “belief” in this same faith? Or do you distinguish these terms? Some do and some dont. I’m just trying to understand clearly your position.
@endtimeslife Yes I figured you didn’t mean salvation. My point is we are not holy bc we avoid secular music or avoid this sin or that. Or listen to Christian music or tithe etc. It’s all bc of Jesus and only bc of him.
