But when God says, "BUT NOW the righteousness of God without the law is
29manifested" (Rom. 3:21);

"To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness"
(Rom. 4:5);

Being Justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus"
(Rom. 3:24);

"In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of
sins according to the riches of His grace"
(Eph. 1:7);

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us"
(Tit. 3:5);

"Not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man
should boast"
(Eph. 2:8,9)

when God now says this, what will faith do? Faith will say, "This is the most wonderful offer ever made by God to man. I cannot
refuse it. I will trust Christ as my Savior and accept salvation as the free gift of
God's grace."

Yes or no is the only truth left from God through risen Son for everyone to decide. Thank you from me to God at least. As I am in process daily learning from God in God's Spirit and Truth. New daily, in thanksgiving and praise over it. Amazing to leave the old me and by God be the new me. God makes anyone that is willing, new through risen Son. This I see is for all that are willingly believing God in his love and mercy to all.

Otherwise would Son have gone, as did go willingly to that cross without any flesh fight back at all?
Then reported as risen by the disciples where Father gives new life to all that sincerely believe he is risen and want new life as are Called to have in John 10:10b and to even still stand and praise even in adversities, as Paul reported he did in the Epistles.

We all have gone through adversities ourselves as well Going through and might go through again while here on earth in flesh.

Will we still stand in praise and worship, if go to Jail for praising Jesus. Will we finally see to be content in all things, good or bad?
I trust Father to reveal this truth to us all and see responding in Thanksgiving and praise to God in God's spirit and Truth gvien the willing ones, thank you

Yes, God loves all humanity, and sinners who reflect His love will be saved to heaven. Yay!

Believe God in risen Son for each personally and see new from God in the same love and mercy given first by God through Son for all.
Amazing, once receive this love and mercy through Son for anyone personally. Wow, woe becomes each as does me in Isaiah 6:1-7
Floors me, this amazing truth in love and mercy given first. My old self cannot fathom this to this day. My new self, God given, does and loves all even if another does not yet believe yet or not. I saw God clear my conscience in that, and again woe is me, standing in belief no matter what frees, thank you Father and Son a sWon (One)
That is blowing me away, now presently, growing new in the grace given me as a gift not a work of the self anymore
Conscience by God purges anyone that will not quit beleif to God no matter what, thanks

Well, Christ is good news indeed for those who receive Him, the repentant, the wise, the brave, the resolute.
Not so good news for others.

And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
Jhn 21:10
Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
Jhn 21:11
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.


Eze 29:3
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
Eze 29:4
But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
Eze 29:5
And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

the day will happen and is not slow to happen in it will one day come to the end, exceptionally so.Father desires for all to Come to belief and remains merciful for now.
So today is the day to choose Life or Death in risen Son for each or not, thanks for the post reply.
It is not that he died and that all will be saved, no, not, that was the taking away of all sin first John 1:29
He did take away all sin John 1:29 in the death alone, which does not give new life, only the taking away of all sin first.

For there is the choice to still make to God each person personally. That is what is left after the death, burial, resurrection of Son first
To believe or not to believe God in risen Son for each to get given free of charge new life in Father's spirit and truth John 4:23-24

Today is the day make the choice life or death, and then the end will be
Thank you Father for your continued Mercy in love to us all through Son for us all as our reconciler unto you to stand in belief to? and then respond in love and mercy to all, even any enemies

Yes, God’s mercy is offered until death, and after that divine justice will be meted to those who ignored His love.

He only accepts those who get born again who abide In Christ enduring unto the end of their lives - IN CHRIST

Sadly many fall away from the Lord and end up spending eternity separated from the Lord, you know going where the devil and his demons go.

Provided they stop being sinners.

There won't be any sinners in Heaven

Man can live free from sin as in not knowingly or willingly doing things that are sinful.

Those led by the Holy Spirit do not do sinful things, but they may occasionally make mistakes such as forgetting to do something, dropping something on the floor, etc of which are falling short of God's absolute perfection which are automatically cleansed as we see in 1 John 1:7

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from ALL sin.

What 1 John 1:7 does NOT automatically cleanse us from is when we knowingly or willingly doing things that are sinful or if we do things God says in His Word are sinful and we claim we don't think it's sinful.

So it is quite possible to live sin free before the Lord and experience the Lord treating you as though you are sin free if we are being led by the Holy Spirit based on what God has said in His Word which IS Truth.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me

1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

New Man - Put on Christ

What makes us children of God is IF we answer the Father's call to abide in Christ having turned away from our old life of sin and walk with Him in newness of life

Ephesians 5:1
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Ephesians 4:22-24
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Romans 13:14
put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Colossians 3:10
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him:

2 Corinthians 6:17
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

This is what baptism is supposed to be about... making a covenant with the Lord, a public declaration of faith, a commitment to put off the old man and put on the new man and to walk in newness of life

Romans 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

We are called to cooperate with the Lord, to be co-laborers with Him. He made us in His Image, so we have free will... the Lord desires for us to willingly choose to turn away from our old life of sin and come abide In Christ and not turn away, ever!

1 Corinthians 3:9
We are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

It's God's work, His power, His ability... but WE have to choose to accept His offer to be His children and turn from darkness to walk with Him in the Light

Romans 8:1-4
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Saints remain sinners, because those indwelt by the HS do not remain Spirit-filled and thereby attain moral perfection
in this life per Phil. 3:12 & Eph. 3:16-19. But yes, in heaven souls will sin no more, presumably because of having perfect memories
of lessons learned during this existence (2Pet. 1:0-11, 2Tim. 1:6, 2:8, 14). Yay!
 
But, God doesn't accept us all ya'll

He only accepts those who get born again who abide In Christ enduring unto the end of their lives - IN CHRIST

Sadly many fall away from the Lord and end up spending eternity separated from the Lord, you know going where the devil and his demons go.

God just desires each to see God loves them first in risen Son for each person to love back to all as God has done by Son first John 13:34.
seems you might think God might be a tyrant or else, got that thought from what you e The same as many religions do today and even back then when they got Jesu skilled. that turned to to be the best for su all to turn from self to god in love and mercy to all regardless of waht others do or not do, Thank you Father and Sona s Won (One)

Eph 1:6, 7 one sees this truth of Son for them at that cross over to them, once one decides to believe from within them. Eph 1:13
Accepted, forgiven and sealed by God to grow up unto maturity, eating meat humbly thankfully to all. Therefore continue in trust, God did once of for us all to be new in risen Son leading not the self anymore, Thanks
For it is the love of God that won for us all through Son the two as Won (One)
 
Saints remain sinners

Actually those would be the fakse "saints" who teach we can still live in sin and be saved.

The devil tricked them in to believing that are not new creatures in Christ but are still sinners.

They go around proudly proclaiming they are still sinners as though it's a badge of honor to live like the devil.


those indwelt by the HS do not remain Spirit-filled and thereby attain moral perfection
in this life per Phil. 3:12 & Eph. 3:16-19.

Too bad you are apparently a cherry picker who have not seen the scripture references below:

Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Hebrews 12:23
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect

2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Philippians 3:15
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Colossians 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man
perfect in Christ Jesus
:

1 Thessalonians 3:10
Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith

2 Timothy 3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Hebrews 6:1
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God

Hebrews 7:19
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Hebrews 9:9
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

Hebrews 10:1
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Hebrews 11:40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Hebrews 13:21
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

James 2:22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect

James 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.

Those following carnal man made religion can't understand because they aren't let by the Holy Spirit.


seems you might think God might be a tyrant

No, it's the calvinists that claim God not only WANTS most people to go to hell but He is CAUSING most to go to hell.

I'm simply saying what Jesus said which is few find the path that leads to salvation:

Matthew 7:13,14
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Saints remain sinners, because those indwelt by the HS do not remain Spirit-filled and thereby attain moral perfection
in this life per Phil. 3:12 & Eph. 3:16-19. But yes, in heaven souls will sin no more, presumably because of having perfect memories
of lessons learned during this existence (2Pet. 1:0-11, 2Tim. 1:6, 2:8, 14). Yay!

Those who cannot cease from living in sin are "cursed children" (2 Peter 2:14)

2 Peter 2:14
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with
covetous practices; cursed children:

That's because they refuse to take off the old man and put the new man on!

What makes us children of God is IF we answer the Father's call to abide in Christ having turned away from our old life of sin and walk with Him in newness of life

Ephesians 5:1
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Ephesians 4:22-24
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Romans 13:14
put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Colossians 3:10
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him:

2 Corinthians 6:17
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

This is what baptism is supposed to be about... making a covenant with the Lord, a public declaration of faith, a commitment to put off the old man and put on the new man and to walk in newness of life

Romans 6:4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

We are called to cooperate with the Lord, to be co-laborers with Him. He made us in His Image, so we have free will... the Lord desires for us to willingly choose to turn away from our old life of sin and come abide In Christ and not turn away, ever!

1 Corinthians 3:9
We are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

It's God's work, His power, His ability... but WE have to choose to accept His offer to be His children and turn from darkness to walk with Him in the Light.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Getting born again is the introduction and the starting point and if one truly believes and dies moments after getting born again, yes they would go to Heaven.

But few die immediately after getting born again so it remains to be seen... will WE to choose to accept His offer to be His children and turn from darkness to walk with Him abiding In Him until the end of our lives so that we might be saved???

Matthew 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Endure to the end as in... DON'T fall away!
 
Actually those would be the fakse "saints" who teach we can still live in sin and be saved.

The devil tricked them in to believing that are not new creatures in Christ but are still sinners.

They go around proudly proclaiming they are still sinners as though it's a badge of honor to live like the devil.




Too bad you are apparently a cherry picker who have not seen the scripture references below:

Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Hebrews 12:23
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect

2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Philippians 3:15
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Colossians 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man
perfect in Christ Jesus
:

1 Thessalonians 3:10
Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith

2 Timothy 3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Hebrews 6:1
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God

Hebrews 7:19
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Hebrews 9:9
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

Hebrews 10:1
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Hebrews 11:40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Hebrews 13:21
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

James 2:22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect

James 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.

It is narrow, not wide. Yet is wide at first, seeing all paths taken lead to the one narrow path to one day finally choose to beleive God or not cpnsciously. there will be no excuse for anyone when the end comes, thanks
 
all paths taken lead to the one narrow path

That's false doctrine.

All paths do NOT lead to the narrow path

The narrow path is coming to Jesus Christ for salvation and abiding IN Him until the ends of our lives

All other paths are wide and lead to damnation as salvation can only be found thru Jesus and not thru Mary or any church or religious organization.

So, God does not seek out anyone, to save them freely? but a few, Only the predestined ones? God does not love everyone? Son did not go to that cross once for everyone? Did not leave one free choice left to choose belief to God Father through Son to be led new in love and mercy to everyone too?

God sincerely loves us all, otherwise Son would not have ever gone to that cross willingly without fighting back in flesh as Peter tried to do, when Malchus was there in that garden to take Jesus away. Jesus stopped Peter, even said to Peter do not think I could call legions of Angels to fight? Jesus did not fight back in the flesh people do.
So sorry, you are not apparently seeing God's will of love and mercy to you or others, sorry you are so angered over something. Read Phil 3 please and give up on self works. Read Proverbs 23:1-7. God loves us all through any and all troubles happening or are going through presently, includes have gone through you.
I do not see a Higher Gospel over and above Jesus risen where Father gives new life to his children that sincerly believe God, having no use to spend this gift on the self. Thanks I am trusting Father to do what Father does best, Jeremiah 29:11 Reach you in his love and mercy too.

Jesus did not fight back in the flesh people do.

Those seasoned in the Word who know how to walk in in the Spirit being experienced in spiritual warfare don't fight in the flesh either


So sorry, you are not apparently seeing God's will of love and mercy to you or others, sorry you are so angered over something.

I'm happy as a pig in the sunshine! smile-grin10.gif

You seem to be claiming all religions lead to salvation and that's false doctrine and demonic.



please and give up on self works.

The works in my life are the Holy Spirit working thru me as I submit every aspect of my life to the Lord's leading based on His Word.

James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

Carnal minded religious people are ignorant of the whole counsel of God (cherry pickers) so they don't know how to walk in James 4:7 or much of anything else for that matter


I do not see a Higher Gospel

Carnal man made religion is not the real gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is a form of godliness but denying its power which is what reformed theology and catholicism provides to those who are blind being led by the blind.
