Could This Person Be Righteous?

Could This Person Be Righteous?

This person left God's perfect plan and was quarrelsome with those following God. He/she offered their children for immoral purposes and had no credibility with members of their family when they tried to point them to God's will. He/she acted as a judge of others but had no credibility with them. They did not have enough spirituality to ensure the salvation of even a spouse. The person was fearful to do God's will and resisted it. God granted a place of refuge but they refused to remain or even consider returning to God's original direction for their life. They fell into gross sexual sin as a result. There is no evidence they ever repented.
Please decide if this person could/would be declared righteous by God and why. If you cannot decide explain why.

There is none righteous, no not one.

So no. But that's okay, because His grace is sufficient

What if the person was elect chosen sovereignly by God from before time began?

Ohhhh. Yea. The elect issue. I'm not really the best authority on that.

But if you are asking if the person has hope of salvation, the answer is yes. Not because they are righteous, but because Christ is righteous and merciful.

Good answer.

Good answer.

I was praying it was! I always feel like my brain turns to mush when the elect is mentioned. I simply can't figure it out. I try, and my ears ring lol

if works makes one righteous then the answer is No. But since we are the righteousness of God in christ Jesus, works cannot undo that. The gifts of God are without repentance.

Salvation is by grace through faith. Saving faith produces a changed life of obedience to God's word by the power of the Holy Spirit and endures to the end.
