Yes He gave you work to do, you do it out of love and out of your freedom. Not to earn your salvation. Not to be saved, but because you ARE saved.
Cee
What you just said is soooo old and soooooo stale!
Does loveme1 sound like an unsaved person to you? Trying to gain salvation by works?
She sounds like a saved person desiring to follow her LORD.
Why is she being given slack for this???
What's wrong with doing what Jesus commanded?
It seems to me that those who preach to NOT be a good and faithful SERVANT are the ones who are twisting the NT to make it mean what they would like it to mean instead of repeating what JESUS taught.
I've printed about 15 NT verses about how we're to WORK and it's totally ignored.
Why?
Maybe because some here don't want to do anything for God but "believe".
They don't even do that because Believe is an action word.
We do not have an actionless Dead Faith, but a faith that is alive with both LOVE and ACTIONS.
I've been following this thread for some time now and fail to see the position of those who attack me personally and call those such as myself names...reminds me of kindergarten.
It is a mystery indeed how a CHRISTIAN could demean another Christian who is trying to be a good disciple
Instead of Encouraging them.
