John 10:10
New International Version (©1984)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
New Living Translation (©2007)
The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
A SANCTIFIED CHRISTIAN LIFE. a happy one. joyful and peace.
not life like the world.
but LIFE IN ABUNDANCE. JOY.
not asceticism and pietism and perfecting yourself in the flesh.
APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING....do you understand what this means?
apart from the Vine we are DEAD.
you want dead? separate yourself from the giver of life, the Vine.
some people WILL NEVER BELIEVE: they don't REALLY TRUST GOD AT ALL.
Romans 10:13
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
Romans 3
The Righteousness of God Through Faith
21But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—
22the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24and are
justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
26It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.
28For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
30since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
31Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
Romans 4:4
Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.
