Ok, so we already know how to live-and the Sermon on the Mount and a myriad of other teachings mean nothing. In fact, He need not tell us about them because He's just going to make it happen anyway.
You either haven't read, or understood, my post.
I said that neither Jesus nor Scripture tell us what job to get, who to marry, how many children to have etc etc. They don't; that's just a fact.
And I never said anything about God "just going to make it happen".
.We never need to seek to do the right thing because He'll just make it happen,
Where are you getting this "God will make it happen" stuff from? I didn't say that.
I said that the Bible does not give us specifics about our job, location, marital status etc.
Life would be a lot easier if it did - we could never get anything wrong; but it doesn't. There is no Biblical guidance on these aspects of our lives.
We don't need to be told to be vigilant, to make the effort to be holy,
Holy means "set apart".
If we dedicate our lives to God, give ourselves to him, put him first and are filled with his Spirit, we are holy.
to obey the commandments, to refrain from sin, to feed the hungry and cloth the naked or forgive our brother.
If we have received Jesus, accepted God's free gift of eternal life, Romans 6:23, been filled with his Spirit and experienced his love, I don't believe we will want to deliberately sin or want to do anything to hurt him.
Just as you would not tell a bride, who was madly in love with her husband, to remember not to hit/abuse/mistreat him. Or tell a mother, overjoyed with her new-born baby, that she shouldn't forget to feed or change him.
And OSAS is a bad belief because rash over-confidence is never a beneficial or fruitful disposition.
If someone is saved and their thoughts are "how much sin can I get away with and still be saved?", or "now that I'm saved, I will always be saved no matter how much sin I commit", I would suggest that either they have a very selfish view of salvation (i.e. I'm ok, whatever I do) or they are failing to keep Jesus' command to love as he loved us.
All I can say is that, for years I had head knowledge that God loved me. I didn't really believe it, deep down, because I didn't love myself. I also felt it presumptuous to say that God loved me, when I wasn't worthy enough.
When I grasped that God really did love me - not because of me, but because he is love - that completely changed my outlook on everything. Before, I didn't want to sin, but 80% of that was due to fear - either of being caught or of punishment. Now, I don't want to sin because it would hurt the One who saved me and quench, or grieve, his Spirit within me.
Go back and read your bible, for yourself,
I'm perfectly capable of reading the Bible thank you - and do so with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Scripture doesn't address many matters fully or at all in some cases.
And that was my point.
