That’s why I’m relying on the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

God may set my steps according to his word, but I wander off the path daily.

Oh boy, but at the end of the day, the choices are ours to make. I’m not forced to do a good work for the Lord and then rewarded for the good work at the JSOC.

If God set those steps, then we would not be judged for rewards.

Ok, so we do make choices on our own that determine rewards. Now we’re getting somewhere.😉

Revelation 20 is concerning the great white throne judgment. That is a different judgment than the judgment seat of Christ for believers.

What you are concluding is that we will be judged at the JSOC for our own labor (which is really not our own) and we will be rewarded for our labor (which is really not our own). Can you not see the error of this thinking?

Yes, and where we are held responsible for our own labor. Why? Because we have choices according to our free will.

The believer will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ to give an account for his works whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be...

Man is responsible for nothing, got it.

I make choices everyday that do not line of with God’s sovereign will for my life. I am responsible. We have freedom to choose.

If so, all accountability is off of us. Insane.

Not sovereign as in how the RCC John Calvin defined sovereign. Is God the supreme being over all things? Yes, but God does not determine or cause all things that take place. His word according to scripture will stand, and man nor Satan can stop it from coming to pass as stated in scripture.

And yet, if any atheist is going to be saved, he will be saved through the foolishness of preaching, because the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation. Let's not minimize the power of the word of God.

Hymns and spiritual songs we sing should come straight from the word of God, teaching and admonishing one another. Of course, all things are to be done with a right heart motive. Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in...

Acts 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

Define sovereign since it’s a term not found in scripture. Thanks.

There is no blind faith in the bible. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Biblical faith is believing what God's word says is true even when there is no external evidence.

God's righteousness through Jesus Christ is the only way any of us has a chance. If one thinks they can lose their salvation through sin, everyone of us has no hope. I'm in Christ. I have his righteousness! I am justified, not by my own works, but through the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Just a thought, you don't always have to make things applicable, but teach them the truth of what's taking place in the scripture. Let them see how God was working in the past. It can get sketchy if you try apply the same thing happening to today.
