Yes we are transformed by grace, but His righteousness isn't merely attributed to us, it's a real transformation after which a person actually lives righteously. If anyone doubts that this is possible I encourage them to read the lives of the Saintsit's rare on earth but possible. We'll all be fully sanctified in Heaven though. Right now, it's a slow journey. "work out your salvation with fear and trembling.."
Faith without works is dead.. I'd also say works without love are dead..
we receive grace by faith but it's not enough to just believe, we must cooperate with it. In other words: LET God do His work. Repent of sin. Rely on God but always be willing to do His will and be charitable to others. Otherwise, faith becomes a mere intellectual opinion.
God bless
Again,
THERE EXISTS NO "LET".
Philippians 2:13
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Yes, and amen! But many make the mistake of only fearing and trembling, and trying to do "works." I was terrified of grace "doctrine," because of the "license" problem. The other thread started by the OP says it all.
Moriah believes if we could reject it, it would not really be grace.I think it's possible to reject grace, in which case you'll neither do nor want to do His will. You 'let' God transform you by a willingness to act according to His grace and leading.
Moriah believes if we could reject it, it would not really be grace.
Moriah also believes if God had to be dependent upon us to "let" Him do His work, it would not really be salvation and rescue, but a cruel trick bringing an even greater damnation and doom. Because without the regenerative power of God none of us can even care about serving Him or wish to serve Him in the first place. Salvation and grace must be miracles from God, not relying on the fallen creature in its natural state to either approve or deny first, or they bes nothing at all.
BUT ...
THERE EXISTS NO "LET".
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 4:11
