If you truly believe in Jesus everything will fall into line. IOW, If you believe, you will have Faith in Jesus. If you have Faith in Jesus you will be blessed with Grace and through Grace you are saved. It is so simple we make it complicated. Why come and save your people to have them live in fear?

Yes, indeed. On a purely technical matter, I would switch it a little to say: "If you have been blessed with grace then you shall have faith in Jesus, and you will be saved." But I know what you mean. :) And you're right on about the fear factor. It makes no sense. There is no such thing as ping-pong salvation. God's plan was not for us to spend our time on earth twisting in the wind.

How much more of a promise of salvation can we have than, “I will never leave you or forsake you.”

Praise God.

[Marysecretary]

Amen, FK. No bopping in and out of Grace!

***There is no such thing as ping-pong salvation. God’s plan was not for us to spend our time on earth twisting in the wind.***

God doesn’t make plans. All has existed and all exists for Him.

It is for us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. With the constant help of the Church and the Holy Spirit. The 12 tribes of Israel rejected Christ who was here to claim them.

Jesus came and died and was resurrected for us; He left His Church for us because what God was supplying the Jews with was insufficient for them.
