When you understand this truth you cannot not understand it and you marvel at the how good God is, it was hard to understand at first but through studding the new testament it became clear, yet so many cannot under stand this no matter how you try and explain it.
Because Humans have FREE WIL, that's you and I can choose to walk away from the grace of God. Our salvation is dependent on a relationship with Christ! (NOT ONCE SAVED ALWAYA SAVED!) GOD's grace can never be nullified! And Christ dying on the cross was never about the SINNER. it is and always will be about God The Father solving the problem that sin created. Paul so talking to a group of believers in the book of Galatians warning them not to place them selves under the Law of Moses losing all effect of the salvation through Christ. Paul had stated in many other places in the bible that Paul himself could lose his salvation as well! Galatians 5 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) 1 In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off]. 2 Notice, it is I, Paul, who tells you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no profit (advantage, avail) to you [[a]for if you distrust Him, you can gain nothing from Him]. 3 I once more protest and testify to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation and bound to practice the whole of the Law and its ordinances. 4 If you seek to be justified and declared righteous and to be given a right standing with God through the Law, you are brought to nothing and so separated (severed) from Christ. You have fallen away from grace (from God’s gracious favor and unmerited blessing). 5 For we, [not relying on the Law but] through the [Holy] Spirit’s [help], by faith anticipate and wait for the blessing and good for which our righteousness and right standing with God [our [b]conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action, causes us] to hope. 20 Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), 21 Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Nicholas Lombardi I’m sorry but by saying that a person can choose Christ of his own free will is a lie. The disciples asked Christ why he spoke to the people in parables Christ told them “So that those with eyes to see may not perceive, and those with ears to hear, may not understand.” To hear and understand the gospel comes from God alone by a revelation from God. This would be an act of God alone and nothing that we do within ourselves. When Christ said to his disciples “whom do you say that I am?” Peter replied “You are the Christ.” And Jesus explicitly stated that this revelation came not from Peter but from the Father in heaven. These are acts of God’s grace in salvation. Faith comes from hearing the word. Jesus said “the words I speak to you, they are Spirit and they are life.” Faith comes from the Holy Spirit of the Lord God almighty as an act of God’s freely given grace. Nothing that we can merit by our own work of “choosing” for the carnal mind is naturally in enmity with God. This being stated, your natural state of being born dead in trespasses and sin leaves in born in bondage to sin, therefore, we can conclude that we are all born natural enemies of God, therefore cannot and will not choose Him. It takes a divine act of God’s grace in God revealing himself through the gospel of His son Jesus that whosever (not if) should believe on Him shall have everlasting life. I say that because by saying whosever instead of if, it shows an act of God’s grace according to election, and not by if a man may choose for himself.
Always admire the way you explain . "
He is our salvation.
Yes Christ alone "
This is amazing
I was thinking about this to. To many people today add something; a saint, money, possessions, etc. Yet Ecclesiastes says all things are vanity.
