would you be so kind , with your infinite wisdom as to give us all a complete list of the requirements for salvation. If we must be sinless please list all sins. If we must “obey” please list each item specifically that we must do to obey. Thank you so much!!

Of course we must be sinless. And of course we must obey God’s law. The problem is we are born sinners incapable of keeping the law. But my substitute, Jesus Christ, kept the law perfectly and He was sinless. When God the Father looks at me He doesn’t see my sins and my lack of faithfulness, He sees Christ because I am wearing His spotless robes of righteousness. Salvation is in Him totally, completely, and perfectly, not in anything within myself and not in my good deeds or law keeping. In fact, the Bible tells us that if we attempt to add our good works to grace, then grace is of no effect.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” We are saved today exactly the same way Abraham was saved. That’s the only way any man has ever been saved or will ever be saved.

I have no infinite wisdom, I simply believe my Bible.
