God has provided a way for anyone to be saved from God's wrath in Revelation and it has nothing to do with your own good works. The way - as the early Christians were called - is by believing in what Jesus Christ has accomplished for you on the cross which He died for all sins past, sins present, sins future to 30AD. For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (Galatians 2:16)
The shed blood of Christ paid for your debt of sin which no amount of good works could even begin to pay for such debt. Christ had willingly suffered the determinate council of God’s wrath on the cross as Redeemer for us, even though He did not deserve such suffering - for He was completely righteous and completely without sin. Because of this, God can now freely offer you and me forgiveness and justification from all sin past, sin percent to the cross, and sin future to 30AD. God is absolutely just in offering you His righteousness and justification for your sins have been fully paid for by the blood of Christ - nothing to perform to be saved except to have faith in this finished and fully paid for cross work of Christ.
Please, be reconciled to God by trusting in what Christ has done for you, and put your belief in His blood to pay for every sin, now and in the future. All the work is done; just believe.
In James 2:17: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. this verse DOES NOT NEGATE what is clearly said in Romans 3:21-26, 4:2, Galatians 2:16. Anyone who used this verse to "try" to NEGATE Romans 3:21-26, 4:2, Galatians 2:16, is clearly failing to understand the purpose and audience for which James wrote. If James NEGATES Romans and Galatians, then someone has made God be be a liar in the Scriptures...but it is not God nor His holy men who lied... Now read the truths of faith without works salvation as proved in Romans and Galatians:
Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Romans 4:2: For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
Don’t eat the grapes? Maybe it’s an apple. Just stay away from fruit altogether.
That is horrible advice and equally horrible theology.
You need not do any good work? What?
Aren’t we supposed to be G-d’s partners in making the world a better place and not just worry about salvation?
I’m glad I converted to Judaism because we are supposed to work together as G-d’s partners,not worry about the next life.
I’m not worried about going to hell,either.
If you can’t forgive how can you expect G-d to forgive you? In your daily life as you come in contact with people who do you wrong are you able to forgive their trespass? Of course believing in Yashua as your Savior is the main thing; to be reconciled with G-d. I am not a theologian. I just believe.
If it’s all so obvious then who do we have to put up with the daily threads on the subject?
One suspects that from all these daily quotes on JimRob’s hard disks, you could assemble the complete Holy Bible, or at the very least the Book of Mormon!
As the old saying goes “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
Come home to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved....He seeks you first.
