[PieterCasparzen]

Subservience. We must choose to let God take command of our lives and be Lord over us. God does not control us - but we choose to follow His leadership and direction.

So you don't agree with Ephesians 2:8 ?

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

[IIntense]

For by grace are ye saved through faith...

I never understood that. Does it mean that Jesus died for our sins and therefore we will not be held accountable for our faults and misdeeds; i.e., He already paid the price for us?

I was taught from the age of six that I am responsible if I break the laws of God and the laws of my church.

[5thGenTexan]

How do you arrive at that? Of course I believe I am saved by grace. What do you think motivates me to make Him my Lord and follow His direction in my life?
