And if you accept that, is your salvation secured?
Or must you do something else?
and THAT is a hard thing for man to do.
No. It is impossible.
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Mat 19:25-26 KJV)
