[QUOTE="LightBearer, post: 75961375, member: 3849"] It is easy to think that way, but is it really wise? For example, did the apostles think that way? Did they think they only had to exert themselves to be initially saved? Definitely not. They gave their Christian life, living and ministry their all—right down till their death. Paul, for instance, could say: “[Christ] is the one we are publicizing . . . To this end I am indeed working hard, [I][COLOR=#0000ff]exerting myself[/COLOR][/I] in accordance with the operation of him and which is at work in me with power.” Later he wrote: “To this end we are working hard and [I][COLOR=#0000ff]exerting ourselves[/COLOR][/I], because we have rested our hope on a living God, who is a Savior of all sorts of men, especially of faithful ones.”—[URL='https://www.christianforums.com/jwpub://b/NWTR/51:1:28-51:1:29']Colossians 1:28, 29;[/URL][URL='https://www.christianforums.com/jwpub://b/NWTR/54:4:10-54:4:10'] 1 Timothy 4:10[/URL]. [B]Col 1:28,29 [/B]"Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, [I][COLOR=#0000ff]striving[/COLOR][/I] according to his working, which worketh in me mightily." [B]1 Tim 4:10[/B] "For to this end we labor and [I][COLOR=#0000ff]strive[/COLOR][/I], because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe. Stay safe and well, LB [/QUOTE]
