>>The gospel that Paul preached to them proclaimed salvation by grace alone received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.<<

Adding to that simple truth is dangerous ground indeed. Even here on this forum we hear on a daily basis those who add to that.

Yup. And they aren’t limited to any particular denomination either.

Interesting after I gave my life to the Lord, and I could easily swear up a storm, that was the first thing I noted had changed. And of course you see everything differently. Your desires change...your viewpoints...you can see truth and lies not to mention the tactics of the enemy. In many ways it's like a veil of misunderstanding, or none at all has been lifted.

I think people get confused about law and grace because they don't understand that Jesus living within us by His Spirit simply changes everything and way we view life. We DO become a new creature.

The closer and more we learn of Jesus “through His eyes rather than our own”...the more we enjoy and want to please him. Rather like the relationships within a marriage....you do and don't do certain things because of your love for them and the bond you have nurtured along with them.
