If you had a choice between doing what had been asked by Jesus and not doing it, then surely you would say that you’d rather be doing it than not doing it.
And, if as one who was doing what the Lord asked, would that not give you greater assurance than if you were not doing what had been asked.
As Jesus said, “Happy is the man who does these things.”
Sorry for the 'attitude' FRiend.I've been following another never-ending thread on the RF and am a bit prickly on the works-salvation issue just now.I do think though that were all believers doing "the work of God" that many of these things would be self evident.
God bless you and thankyou for the spirit of your reply.
