well he does love them
but he isnt satisfied with them
yes but even if one is not a believer, one is already a good person most of the time
so works isnt really that much of an issue
just be a good person
The point you're getting at is without God's freely given offer of salvation to us, we would fall short
yes
all glory to christ
all glory to god
So the source of our hope is God
yes
Well duh
if you were to present to him and say
i have helped 50 people, i have done this and i have done that
he will probably say something like, you have fallen hort
short*
if this is how you present yourself to me
for why didnt you have faith?
but
he wont throw that person into hell
Yet, let us never become complacent and pretend that it is acceptable to sin because we have faith
youre forgetting about god's grace
grace has defeaten sin
No I'm not!
sin no longer applies
grace actually made the true distinction
for mankind
of good and evil
Is it acceptable to cheat on your wife
Is this sin?
no it is not
if you do it deliberately yes
Then how dare you say "sin no longer applies'
you cant do it by accident
because only evil people do that?
i would never cheat on my wife
nor do i think thats normal by any means
i wouldnt cheat on my girlfriend either
Yes, and therefore Christians must hear "if you do that, you are evil"
There must be no misunderstanding
