Do you observe the Sabbath?

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth.

Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.

I agree that it is completely grace through faith that = salvation.

Knowing it is 100% grace why are some saved and some not saved?

IF grace was given to all. All would be saved.
So the gift of grace must not be given to all.

Jesus made provision for everyone, Jesus paid for every sinner so all could be saved but not everyone will be saved.

Jesus wants all to be saved and any person in their right mind would want to be saved. But only a few are....

Mat 7:14-16
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.

So is it just grace?

Yes and no...

Yes because grace is the way we are saved 100%. But more then this. Faith is required, and faith is dead without works.

Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Provided you remain in God’s grace. You’re going to have to abstain from sin the best you can, remain repentant, and trust Him. You can be disciplined for sin and when you learn from the errors you’ll love God more for it.

Hebrews 12
14Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. 15See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many. 16See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.17For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.

Here is a simple verse below, that anyone who thinks their works contribute to their salvation. Will not be able to accept without adding something to the verse.

Romans 10:13
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Here is what you stated again.
You must be have difficulty in reading and understanding the text.

Here is what you stated.
[Quoted]So is it just grace?

Yes and no...

The Christian life is not all about the abstinence from sin.

We are always saved by the grace of God but we have been commanded by Jesus to do what?

What have we been commanded to do, to spend our lives preoccupied with?

What is the goal of all the Christian instruction?

The Christian life is not all about the abstinence from sin.

I going to add some verses and don't say I'm twisting things. The truth is not founded on 1 verse.

Verse 1 more to come....
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

The JUST shall live by FAITH.

The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. Faith in the beginning and faith at the end, and the just shall live by faith.

The righteousness of God is revealed in the perfect life of Jesus, Jesus was obedient to the Law, and did not sin.
Sin is the transgression of the law.
We can reveal this righteousness by faith.
As the verse says.... the righteousness of God revealed from faith.....The just shall live by faith.

Think about it....
Why do we need a saviour? SIN
What do we need salvation from? SIN
When do we need to be freed from sin? Now.
Where? This world and our hearts.
How ? By faith in Jesus.
What have we become slaves to? SIN.
Jesus can to set us free from what? SIN,
What is the cause of all the problems and pain in the world? SIN.

You say it isn't about abstinence of sin?

Depends on whether it is the Jewish 7th day Sabbath or the Christian 8th day Sabbath.

The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week, which is Saturday NOT Sunday. The Sabbath is for all not just for Jews. If you are a follower of Christ/Christian then you are supposed to observe the Sabbath day, it is a COMMANDMENT!

Exodus 20:8-11 KJV
[8] “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: [10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: [11] For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

You are not supposed to do your pleasures on the sabbath day or work which includes cooking, cleaning, buying and selling, partying, watching tv, listening to worldly music and even having your own conversations. You’re supposed to have a holy convocation which means going to church. You’re focus is supposed to be on the Lord, he only ask for one day!
“As his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.” Luke 4:16
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

I’m more curious what you think we should do with our life. You’re saying it’s not all about abstinence from sin. I don’t know, I try to take this pretty seriously. I can’t imagine Jesus saying “it’s okay, go ahead and sin a little bit because life isn’t all about abstinence from sin.” I think if Jesus had his way, we’d go and literally never sin again.

We all need to stand before God iindividually. I can't judge your motives and you can't judge mine.

God is judge.


Decide for yourself. Make the choose yourself based on truth, and you will or you wont regard the sabbath based on which way you are persuaded.

Paul isn't saying both choices are correct. The truth is the truth. We will choose to regard it to God or not regard it to the Lord.

Like any truth we can choose for ourselves to obey it to God or not obey it to God.
Eg....Be fully persuaded about homosexuality in your own mind as to if you accept it or not.
The truth will set you free.

Some topics are not salvational. Like today getting the vax or not getting the vax. Be full persuaded in your mind as to if you get it or not.
It's not for me to judge you or force you.

You need to understand how you are saved. Are you saved by Jesus alone or do you contribute to that act of salvation. Is it Jesus plus your holiness?

Does bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit mix with your holiness, added to the atonement Jesus offered. Result in your salvation?

Are you saved by grace or are you saved by grace plus your holiness?

Are you saved by faith plus baptism?

Are you saved by grace plus faith, plus holiness, plus sacraments, plus the correct doctrine?

Or simply is the church you attend the reason you are saved.

We could go on forever with the various alternate gospels?

Does love matter?

The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week, which is Saturday NOT Sunday. The Sabbath is for all not just for Jews. If you are a follower of Christ/Christian then you are supposed to observe the Sabbath day, it is a COMMANDMENT!

I'm wondering if people think faith is a work.
Grace =Salvation=works! We can't boast or else we had a part in it. Roman 3:27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By a law of works? No. by the Law of faith.
We receive the Grace (God's Riches At Christ's Expense) by faith which produces works.
Abraham was justified by faith when he believed and his faith was complete when he obeyed by offering Issaac his son on the alter, which is a picture of the gospel. Romans 10:9 ...Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.
I believe Abraham trusted that God would provide a Lamb. Do we have the kind of faith that trust God in that way?
