Being chosen in eternity past is a done deal forever! There is no un-choosing, God has drawn us to Him. . . .

Yes, Christ will be called great because He kept them! The rest of us must mourn the fact that we cannot do so in ourselves. We are in constant need of forgiveness . . .

ATG, I will address you as Attorney General! I was sure that David was in Christ when he committed murder to obtain the wife of another.

Good catch! Poor choice of words on my part. . . .

God tells us that all who trust/believe/have faith - will be saved, plus He never lies. Therefore examining yourself is important. When we examine ourselves, we will gain confidence in the fact that He forgives us when we fail. Knowing this, is what trust/belief/faith are all about! Sin may...

Heb 4:15-16 He knows our weakness!

2 Cor 13:5

Lies need the truth. Lies cannot exist without the existence of truth. Lies do not emanate from truth. The truth can in no way be held responsible for a lie. What Satan, or man, does with the truth is totally their own responsibility, as is the case for those who believe in lies. Therefore, we...

The works that please God are but a fruit of the faith given!

And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

There is nothing that God cannot do! He is the creator of all things. He is able to do as He wishes! However, if you think He has already made you perfect, then why not ask Him to let you sit at His right hand?

I have a fear for those who believe that they now lead a sinless life. There has only been one who could accomplish that, and it was our Savior, Jesus. I pray for them and hope that they soon come to realize their error. Otherwise, they may find themselves standing before Christ saying: “Have...

Sometimes I think that you must be brought very low, to be humbled to the point of knowing that you {lack the ability to live life without God}. This is what it sometimes takes to make one turn to Him in faith. . . . Strange what the Holy Spirit can do to a person.

There are no Christians who purposely live in sin and there are no Christians who have totally overcome sin to the point of a sinless life. Have you ever considered that even though we grow in grace, that God allows us to fail occasionally 1) to remind us of our constant need and 2) to glorify...

Yes, every time we fail He mediates for us because He suffered in our place. Good post!

I do not believe that any of my posts proclaimed that I am not improving, only that I am not perfect, nor will I ever reach perfection. You just like to argue and accuse people for no good reason whatsoever!

If I remember correctly, Peter was chosen by Christ as an apostle. If Christ chose him as one of the twelve to spread His word, then I must assume that he belonged to Christ. In Matt 26:33 Peter boasts that he will never leave Christ. However, in Matt 26:73-75, shortly before Christ's death...

I guess that having a conversation with someone who believes that they are the only person who is not ignorant just isn't working for me. So have a great day!

I pray that you do not die two seconds after committing a sin! No time to repent. Or, some sin slips by unnoticed and without repentance. It won't go good for you that you are trusting yourself rather than Christ's pardon.

OSAS does not imply that we are free to live a life of sin. In fact, anyone who claims such was never saved in the 1st place, otherwise, they would have no desire to even consider such a thought. However, we are unable to live a perfect life. This is another area in which grace and mercy are...
