And if you don't have the coupon, you have nothing to redeem...
Here's our coupon:
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Any accurate theology has to include this scripture (and many more)...If you don't include it, your theology is seriously flawed...
It amazes me how many people refuse to see the assurances we have.
