“Isnt (sic) that what most Christians believe, that Jesus saved us, but we have to follow his laws to accept it? Or can you do anything you want, murder, rape, steal, and still get to Heaven because Jesus died for everyone’s sins?”
Jesus died so that those who make a decision to accept Him will be saved. Not all will accept this gift, so not all will be saved. We don’t have to follow His laws in order to be saved. The thief on the cross accepted Jesus as his Savior and he definitely did not follow His laws; he didn’t have time. Still, Jesus told him “Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
If a person is truly saved, he will live a decent and good life (follow His laws) because the Holy Spirit dwells in him.
So if you accept Jesus as your saviour, but dont follow his laws, are you really saved? At what point do acts count? Do they only count negatively, but do nothing positively?
