    Questions about Matthew 26:28 and Hebrews 9:22 (purpose of Jesus' death, how someone is saved)

    Excellent observation. All those Old Testament sacrifices were a type, shadow or illustration of what it would take for us to be reconciled to God and be saved - a perfect substitute to die in our place. Yet, as to these animal sacrifices it is written, “For it is impossible for the blood of...

    The Yoke of Christ?

    I think these verses may help shed some light on your query… 4”Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5For when we were in the flesh, the...

    Loss of salvation???

    The question really is, “Can one lose eternal life?” Well, no - it is ETERNAL life. Also, can we sin too much - too badly? No. God’s way is discipline with His children because He loves them - not condemnation. Also, if we could lose our salvation by sinning, then we are trying to earn our...

    The Lord had said to Abram

    Yes, absolutely I believe this to still be true. “25For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own [f]opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26And so all Israel...

    Presuming on the Blood

    Further… I would caution not to get the cart before the horse. As in, don’t try to better yourself to try to prove to yourself that you are saved. Much rather, make sure you understand the gospel and have placed your trust in Jesus to save you and then take your stand upon those verses, like...

    How a Christian became a Christian

    I bring you here, my account. I grew up poor, wearing patched thrift store clothing. We went to “church” faithfully. I was considered a good kid and was constantly bullied in school. Academically, I was a failure. Now, I thank God for these difficulties. Without them, I’m not convinced I’d have...

    The problem of the statement of “never saved to begin with”

    I’m new here but not new to discussing these things. To begin with, I once thought I was saved but wasn’t. However, I was never at rest. I had a lot of religious baggage in my head that wasn’t in the Bible. I finally saw the truth and placed my trust in Jesus alone for eternal life. But, I’ll...

    Why don't u attend a church ?

    Good question! Currently I don’t gather with believers due to my chronic health conditions. Prior to the deterioration of my health, we gathered with a few believers in a home. Longing for mutual edification, is the reason I’m here. I believe it is a challenge in today’s world to find a...
