We must always rely on Jesus and never on ourselves.
Jesus never fails while we do time and time again.
When we doubt our salvation, that is often Satan.
Satan loves to take away the joy we have In Jesus.
OK P
This is what you said that I would have wanted to get into.
Since you repeated it, I will !
First of all, just to get the idea out of the way, if we doubt our salvation, it means we're saved.
Unsaved persons don't worry about being saved or not.
We should never allow satan to take away our joy...
What I'd like to address is this... You said.
We must always rely on Jesus and never on ourselves.
Jesus never fails while we do time and time again.
What theology is this? What does it mean?
Jesus left us and sent the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit helps us in our walk with God.
That's His job --- He's the paraclete.
Jesus is the Savior. He completed His work as Savior.
Now it's the Holy Spirit that helps us.
What do you mean that we RELY on Jesus and not on OURSELVES?
What do you mean that Jesus NEVER FAILS while we do AGAIN AND AGAIN?
We rely on Jesus for our salvation.
We fail when we sin, I guess this is what you mean.
But I hear some here say that we don't have to do anything
or that Jesus does it all.
Do you realize what these means theologically??
IF JESUS IS DOING IT ALL, and not us...
Then it's HIS fault when we sin.
Please stop and think this over.
Jesus did HIS part, now it's up to us to do our part.
Our part is to follow Him the best we can, and He'll make up for the rest.
