Works and salvation.

Post by Mastermind »

Can somebody post all the NT verses that say work doesn't save? (No K, I'm not being lazy, you'll see my point soon enough :P )
Are you threatening me Master Skeptic?

Joh 3:17 - Show Context
"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

Ro 5:10 - Show Context
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

1Jo 4:9 - Show Context
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer.

I thinks this following link works pretty well myself

http://www.godandscience.org/doctrine/g ... eaven.html

it makes one really think
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”
