Jesus said His command is not burdensome; i mean, He had to say that several times but still some think that we have to rest from His command?! The command to love one another is not even a burden at all. Trusting in the finished works of Jesus basically means to obey His commands which are not burdensome.
We don't obey so that we get saved but we obey so that we abide in salvation (Him) which came for everyone.
If we say we know him and don't keep his commandments WE ARE LIARS AND THE TRUTH ISNT IN US.
1 John 2:4 New International Version (NIV)
4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

So if someone is saying they know him and "doesnt keep his commandments" they are a liar and the truth is not in them.

if someone from OSAS says-

they know God but dont keep his commandments are they-

1."covered by the blood, forgiven for future sins etc",
2. Liars without the truth in them.

I am not trying to personally direct this in an offensive way, but in a way you might understand.

Good thanks but the internet signals have gotten worse in WA don't you think. So slow on my laptop. Are you having the same problem?
Hi Ruby I hope I didnt offend you😊. I know I probably could have. But I personally dont have anything against you, I think you seem like a nice person. I just want to get the truths I have found out to others. Even though they might offend some people. 😞

How can they be saved if they have no truth?

someone who has eternal life WILL be obedient ( not perfect)

I am glad Ruby. Maybe you should change to another internet provider or chat on your phone.

Correct. There's no such thing as faith without obeying God's command.

I like this scripture 😁
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
1 Corinthians 13:13
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

This for starters........

In short, one must believe on Jesus Christ for salvation. Eternal life is not just an instant gift and a present tense possession (Jn 6:47; 1 Jn 5:11-13). Eternal life is also a hope (Titus 3:7) yet to be reaped (Gal. 6:8,9), in the age to come (Mk. 10:30) for only the ones who persist in doing good (Rom. 2:7) and don't grow weary and give up sowing to please the Spirit (Gal. 6:9)!

Eternal life is also a promise for the Christians who hold on to the gospel truth they heard from the beginning to remain in Christ and the Father (1 Jn. 2:24-26).

There was good news for me finding this site. So i believe there will be for others as well. It has taught me what it means to live like a true Christian. I have finally found what true Christianity means. I know it probably doesn't make sense to you why someone would want to believe or follow these kinds of beliefs. But if you were in my shoes you would understand😉.

There is only one TRUTH and while there are many ideas that may bring comfort for a time in they end they always run dry.

One truth doesnt apply to all. OSAS have a different truth to those who dont believe in OSAS because we don't have the same view of the bible. So ONE truth isnt really one truth to everyone. Both you and I have different beliefs on what the "truth" is.
