It's a win/win situation.

How does the fallible you know anything?

It's a you/you situation.

All you.

1 John 5:13-15 13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. 14And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

God told us in His word. I happen to believe God when He tells us something.

Like this......

John 3:16-18 16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

whoever = me

whoever = you

whoever = the guy down the street

whoever = the bum living under a bridge

whoever = whoever

God is no respecter of persons. Whoever believes will be saved. It's all God requires to come to Him; simple faith and that faith is counted as righteousness.

No, it's a God/God situation. Its all God.

He gets credit for any good thing that comes out of me.
