You are given a new heart, one capable of loving but it's your choice to love or not. If it's not choice and we can only love then there is no need for judgment. Scripture however is white clear there will be judgment.

Yes, no more need to be or get judged, trusting in Father and Son as Won and I see new in this new Heart, that can only love. What a difference to uphold law and do law, not being under law anymore
Col 2 thank you hoping for all, trusting God to get it through to us all.
Those that do thier own thing(s) already know truth and have used it to gain their own thing or not. God knows Romans 8:15-16, I stand in trust to God Thank you hoping you sincerely are too. You said you do, Amen thank you God. Having the new heart, one does as called.
You and I are in God's hands either well or under stress and duress, trying to do what no other can, that is done in Son for us all to believe or not, thanks.
I am elated you said you are not in need of the new heart, This is between God and you not me and you or anyone else either, you see that? I trust you do, love to you from God and me in this freedom to love all, regardless of what another does or does not do
God simply loves us all, otherwise Son would not have ever gone to that cross at all. He would have then fought and didn't. that is worth everything to me in thanksgiving and praise forever between God and me. I know this first birth is not well. So I see Romans 6:1-12, verse 12 reckon self dead to be alive to God with God's Son's risen life given not earned ever
Thank you
that choice Is much different to the one you had before your given the new heart.
The love in the new heart enables you to no longer follow the choices of the flesh
Where as when are your saved with the new heart, you so longer think the same with choice, the old has has gone the new choice has come.
Self control comes with the new heart, which is the fathers will, to control the choice that still lives in the flesh.
God's free gift of salvation reminds me of a Seinfeld scene:
The Door Must Be Closed!
His salvation is free, but it still only works if it's used properly! Otherwise it won't do anything!
But, But, But are you a billy Goat, I just had to ask, always butting in
I see the risen Jesus standing risen, has told us all he did it for us John 19:30, so, just love all as I have loved you first. John 13:34
There are others hanging out and say "But"
Then I hear Jesus say did I stutter
Love you as am Love by God first, hope you see it, as natural the first Adam before sinned yet did not know good or bad. Then did and does, and turned his live back over to God, once he saw he needs God
Father knows best and to go to death through Son once for all is amazing grace to appreciate then listen to God Father and Son as won thank you
Father knows best Jeremiah 29:11

For you to have credit for your belief, you would have to say God's salvation can be applied incorrectly,.
Err I don't think so

Yep all done through his word burning in people hearts first

No, you just have to have the last word as if doing that will make your false doctrine true. That's why all the Calvinist threads just go on and on for thousands of vacuous posts.
But God knows how to lead His children to the truth. You calvinists can try to bury it under all your doctrine and having the last word, but God will always lead His children by the Holy Spirit to the correct teaching even if it's just one post. I've seen Him do that time and time again - you can't bury God's true doctrine no matter how much you post.
So go ahead! Bury my post and have the last word. You won't be able to help yourself!

Wise words from my dear friend. I hope you are doing well. Love you.No, you just have to have the last word as if doing that will make your false doctrine true. That's why all the Calvinist threads just go on and on for thousands of vacuous posts.

A can be alone apart from the company of others while not being alone apart from the company of each other, so your question is like asking how a couple can be alone when they are with each other. The position of salvation by faith alone denies that there are any works that we are required to have done first in order to earn our salvation as the result, but does not deny that our salvation is apart from works. Luther said that an idle faith is not a justifying faith. We can do works that embody our faith such as with James 2:18 saying that he show his faith through his works, so the significance of our works is not that they are part of what we are required to have done first in order to become justified as the result but rather the significance is that it is the way to have faith and it is by that faith alone that we are being saved.
lol if I'm a Calvinist I must be a natural born one that God decreedNo, you just have to have the last word as if doing that will make your false doctrine true. That's why all the Calvinist threads just go on and on for thousands of vacuous posts.

Suiting yourself comes from free will, where as God suiting you up comes from his will, so you may prefer to say ok suits you sir
Ok next party jive, I'm ready to rock sister
Yep all done through his word burning in people hearts first
It does take time.It has taken many years to grow in up o trust alone, knowing I am not perfect, better maybe, just learning how to say no from Father through risen Son
I am seeing it like Paul said in Phil 3:11-15 about putting it behind him, standing willing between God and him that God will not go back on God's promise.
I mean I see no one in the Old Testament, ever attain perfection. So God being perfect made us as if are perfect through Son Col 1:21-22, 23. God knows us all, knows our intentions and left for me to see and everyone else as well Matt 5:20, standing aware of Luke 18:9-14 and Matt 18:24-35 I forgive, because I sam forgiven first by God through Son wow! Love the same way. I do not love t get loved, or forgive to be forgiven. 2 Cor 5:16-22
Those with the wrong motive to be in, will not make it. These will be told, go away. Away with you, you were never mine, you who work iniquity. I see a difference between working iniquity and glorying in iniquity 2 Cor 12:7-10
If I could ever become perfect of my doings (Dung) then I would not need God. I need God thanks Jordan as we each grow new in trust deeper, deeper, wider, higher
This love and mercy given forever is to appreciate and love in God's Sons mercy and truth

@2ndTimeIsTheCharm, I genuinely love you. You have left an impression on me. You’re doing great. I wish you great in life.
Do good works to glorify your father in heaven. What are “good works” when the audience doing the onlooking are not judging righteously? some might say “there’s a child of God.” Others might say “he’s doing good things, with the wrong intentions.” How can our works glorify God when the decision of how our outward actions being righteous or glorifying is left solely to the audience witnessing them?
How? If it’s done in Spirit and in truth. The human race has been taught (and widely accepted) that a good mimic will most likely satisfy the minds worry (or enough to keep the insanity of it at bay) that the soul is saved from eternal suffering and torment.
Spirit led in/and of truth. Good works are a gift led directly by the spirit of the Lord, otherwise they would and could not be called “good” when only one is good, and that is the father.
The last prominent “good works” I think I accomplished was when I was feeling very sad about my obedience to the Lord, and though my flesh was terrified, and my thoughts against it, the spirit led me to ask the Father to make me a martyr to show him that I really love him and would die for him without hesitation. I shudder to this day over that prayer, but there’s no doubt it was in spirit and in truth.
I don’t know why I’m posting this. Maybe it’s the whole “good works” thing I believe may be misunderstood. I dunno, but there it is.
