So you think God needs you to add soemthing to the righteousness of Christ in order to make it through to final salvation? Do you even have a clue that your religion of seventh day adventist is making Salvation CONDITIONAL? No, that truth escapes your spirit.

Phil, GRACE is unconditional else it is not Grace. There is ONE requirement to receive God's Grace, believe. Believe in Christ and you will be saved, as Paul told the crust, tough Phillipian jailer.

If my old memory is serving me, in John's Gospel 'believe' is stated 99 times to obtain Salvation. Not one of those tiims is anything added in order to receive The Grace of God in Christ Jesus.

When a person is born again, born from above, the righteousness of Christ is IMPUTED to that person's spirit. There is not any thing that you or I can do to improve on that righteousness, nothing we could add to make us more righteous. And because we have that righteousness sealed to our spirit, THAT SPIRIT cannot sin. Someone who does not have that righteousness IMPUTED to their spirit is a lost soul in need of GRACE.

Regardless of you pride, believing you must add to Grace, add to the righteousness God promises for believing in Whom He sent for your salvation, the TRUTH is Salvation is something ONLY God can do for you and by His Promised Presence in your born again spirit He is the only One Who can retain His Presence in your spirit, so there is nothing of law keeping or any other cultish rigor which will or can add to what ONLY God can do.

God needs you to OBEY him and keep his word. You don’t want to do that? Then you fall into this category:

Matthew 7
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

For the 2000th time, I AGREE WITH YOU.
