I Obey, Therefore I Am Loved and Accepted.

[Bible Highlighter]

You used the words 'me' 'I' so it's not about other believers.

Can you show me where my grammar slipped up in specific posts that would make you think it is my effort alone that saves me?

If I have made that type of mistake, I will be more than happy to correct it.

What do you think John 15:5 is saying then?

Are you okay? You don't seem to be trackin' so well.

Please, let's stay with the Bible. So again, I ask you: What do you think John 15:5 is saying?

Why would you even ask me that?

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Why would you even ask me that?

Because Christ essentially says we can do nothing without Him.

Yeah, and?

Christians are those who persist in doing good. We are the only ones who can. But, that's not what saved us.

Take it up with Paul.

Is the scripture unclear? I don't think so.

Paul disagrees with you:

Romans 2 6God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.

Gal 6
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

1 Cor 6
8On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren. 9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Cor 7:19
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts.

Ephesians 5:5
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a person is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.


Gal 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any power, but only faith working through love.

How does any of that disagree with what I said??

Paul is saying that our works and an important part of our salvation.

Of course we need God's grace in order to please God, but God's grace reaches out to all men. Our response and endurance are required for salvation.

Clarification:

Paul says that works are an important part of the process of salvation?
OR

Paul says that works are an important part of our lives after salvation?

OR

Are what you are saying is that salvation is temporary and we must keep earning it back to keep salvation?

Salvation is a process, not an event.

Only those who endure will be saved.

We have hope and trust in the grace of God to carry us through. No one can snatch us from Jesus, but he won't stop us from walking away of our own accord.

Could you please pick one of the three answers?

I do not understand what you are saying and that's why I asked you to choose one.

Can you please go back and answer the question
