I can do without the patronizing tone...thank you very much! I know full well what the scripture says throughout Old and New Testaments and justification, sanctification, made-righteous, saved, etc. was and never will be based upon the goodness or merit of the person. To label this doctrine as false or "easy-believism" is a slap in the face to Almighty God and the sacrifice of the shed blood of Jesus Christ who was God Almighty incarnate.
God IS the judge. He passed judgment on all mankind when he said all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and the wages of sin is DEATH. The sentence of death has been determined already. This holy and righteous judge then came down from his throne and paid the penalty for sin for us. By his grace he offers all the gift of eternal life if we by faith accept the gift. When we do his spirit indwells us and he creates within us a new spirit nature. The spirit of the old nature is as dead and he gives us the desire and ability to walk in the newness of life.
There is only one true gospel (good news) and that is that man can have the assurance of his salvation when he believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. I John 5:13.
KJV 1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
