However, God has specified HOW to accept His gift. Not just calling Him "Lord, Lord," but rather doing the will of the Father. Now...what is the will of the Father? Jesus taught us in two simple commandments - Love God, and Love your neighbor.

Why do keep insisting Jesus was lying??? THIS is the will of the Father...

Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

It's as clear as day in the scriptures...

Here is a warning to those that chose not to believe Jesus...

Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Joh 5:39 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Note Jesus did NOT say to search the commentary by the Catholic church which is their catechism...Jesus did NOT say to search the opinions of the Catholic church fathers...Jesus did NOT say to search anyone's tradition...

Jesus said to Search the Scriptures...And if you don't, you do not have His word abiding in you, which can be evidenced by all these false references and teachings put out by the Catholic church...

Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

How is one going to come to Jesus if the one doesn't even know the will of the Father???

Doing such does not merit salvation, nor does it earn salvation - Faith and Works are the means of acceptance of His gift.

If you try to win God's favor by following the law, you'll be judged by the law...You have given up ALL grace...

Search the scriptures...

And how do you believe in Christ? By following His words? And what are His words...maybe I quoted them above?

Really? Jesus told people to search the Letters of Paul? Maybe as an observant Jew, teaching to observant Jews, he meant the Old Testament...just a crazy thought.

“If you try to win God’s favor by following the law, you’ll be judged by the law...You have given up ALL grace...

“Search the scriptures... “

Amen and amen. ALL glory to the Lamb of God, for no man can share in the work of the Lord nor will God share His glory with any creature.
