Maybe you should read Leviticus..it is a beautiful book..it prefigures Christ.. you see Him in every chapter

So then you are sure you have done enough, kept the commandments well enough? You are sure you are saved?

>>I’m not a legalist. I’m working out my salvation with fear and trembling. Salvation is in the future, and whether I am among the elect is known to God alone.

It is blasphemy to run around proclaiming that you are already saved because the Last Judgment is yet to come, and you are telling God that you are entitled to salvation.

It’s not unlike the Occupy Wall Streeters who run around saying they are entitled to everything.

If you want to understand St. Paul, study Judaism. If you want to understand Christianity, study ancient Judaism.
