Actually, I meant, that we can't come to Jesus without the Father DRAGGING us, and....But is this what you mean, by what I am quoting you to have said??
you know, i was just thinking about that scripture 'work out YOUR OWN salvation with fear and trembling... etc... for IT'S GOD THAT WORKS IN YOU, both to will and to do His good pleasure'
i may not have that scripture exact, but i'm sure you know it too.
this scripture is NOT telling us to 'work out your own salvation' ...COZ YOU CAN'T, and it will only terrify you if you try.. GOD does that work too, God brings you, and God saves you...
it's in the Bible that not all are MEANT to be saved in this age... this should sober us for sure.
but we should not feel PRIDE that we have somehow chosen to go to the good place when we die... and look down on people who are blinded by satan, OR blinded by God Himself, because He has another purpose for them later.
pride was my big sin, that i walked into freely, calling it 'self esteem'... and it led to all manner of evil
now i have a bit of a hate on for pride
'lest any man should boast'... boast about having something to do with being a Christian, something to do with their good works, which God also plans and does FOR US.
BOAST that they are better than the ... what did you call them? vile vessels of satan?... because BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, THERE WALK ALL OF US.
That's what i meant.
sorry, that wasn't a mic drop... i should be more careful what i say when i have been up all night... sorry, i mean if you think i'm being a sacred COW haha, forgive me
