[QUOTE="plain jayne, post: 75930173, member: 429776"] What is salvation? It's being rescued by God from the consequences of our sin and our sin nature. You can do "good works" all day long and STILL have your sin nature. There are not enough charities to give to or poor people to feed to EARN you way to God. For every poor family that you take a meal to, how many sins have you committed? Ever lied? Hated someone? Used inappropriate content? Disobeyed and disrespected authority or a parent? Ever wanted another person's spouse? Ever OVERLOOKED a poor family's needs because you just didn't feel like it that day? Ever used God's name in vain? There are NOT enough good deeds to wipe out our sins. Our sins are innumerable. It's like being right-handed or left-handed. It's in our nature to be self-centered, hateful, unholy, and impure. Why do we have to believe? It's a covenant with God through Jesus Christ. What if you went to a wedding and the bride refuse to repeat her vows and answered the major questions "I do NOT" and refused to sign the marriage license. They would not be married. Jesus died on the cross to create the covenant for believers. Believers put their faith and trust in Christ to enter the covenant with him. [/QUOTE]
