[MarkBsnr]

If Christ died for our sins, took our sins upon Him, and made us righteous before God could you tell me what we will be judged for? Do you believe that Jesus death and on the cross was not good enough?

Our salvation is conditional. Jesus guarantees his offer to us. It is up to us to accept it. We have the hope of Paul; but if we do not persevere until the end, we will fall short and will fail.

The three parables in Matthew 25 are illuminating.

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:44

The Greek word translated “draw” is helkuo which means to drag (literally or figuratively).

Helkuo: to draw, drag off http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1670

The same word is used in other verses.

In John 21:6 where they are pulling a heavy net full of fish.
In John 8:10 where Peter is drawing his sword.
In Acts 16:19 where Paul and Silas being dragged into the marketplace before the rulers.
Was it “up to” the fish being dragged in, or the sword? How about Paul and Silas? Was it “up to them”? Knowing what the words mean is rather “illuminating” I would say.
