“Losing your salvation” is patent nonsense, since Jesus “is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him”. Anyone here want to call Him a liar? The mind set on the flesh—trying to do good/not do evil—is death, so that mind approaching the Scriptures will always create a back door works salvation incapable of saving anyone (including those who delude themselves into thinking they don’t sin).

Jesus’ “go and sin no more” was to a certain woman at a certain time. Did anyone on this forum “go and sin no more”? Didn’t think so. Remember, if you want to play with the Law you have to keep it all. Stumble at one point and you’ve broken all of it. Game over.

No, this doesn’t mean “sin so grace will abound”. Yet because of who GOD is through Jesus Christ, grace DOES abound! He is a God of steadfast love! Get into the Psalms and revel in HIM and His goodness. Lifts you up.

Bottom line, the works fanatics do NOT keep the Law. They’re failures like the rest of us. I refuse to listen to them because they refuse the finished work of Christ. They think He needs their help. They are wrong.

2Pe_1:10 So then, my friends, try even harder to make God’s call and his choice of you a permanent experience; if you do so, you will never abandon your faith.
