Romans 6:22-23;7:4-6
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.......7:4Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
Until the end. If your faith wavers, you go into eternal fire, just as Peter's faith wavered and he almost fell into the drink. Do you guys not read what you post?
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
That's what we are saying. If you remain out of sin and stay in Christ, the way is to eternal salvation. If you do not, then your prize is eternal damnation.
7:4Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
Only as long as you remain in Christ. If you return to living in the flesh, your wages will be death.
The words are there, the meaning is there, why is it that you guys do not have eyes to see?
A tune while we're waiting...
The metmom lies over the ocean;
The boatbums lies over the sea:
They fight against all of us Catholics -
Let's bring 'em to Christianity!!!
Bring them, bring them;
Bring 'em to Christianity-y-y
Bring them, bring them:
Let's show them Christianity!!!
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Dont you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obeywhether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
