You know what verse always comes back to me? "Apart from Me you can do nothing" --Jesus tells us this- and it is very true. I know that any good in me is because of HIM. And I praise Him for that...I need Him daily. And I know he is working in me- I pray He will change me to glorify Him and be a light to this world- I need him to continually create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me- as it says in Psalms. It is hard especially in this day and age- but with Jesus Christ in my life I know I am prevailing- even when I fail, God picks me up- convicts me when I am wrong- and I repent- "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" --How true that is! Again this comes back to "Apart from Me, you can do nothing" --It is CHRIST in us that makes us lights-or any good in us is from Him alone. How amazing and wonderful that is! I am continually in awe of my Lord and Savior- and I cannot wait to cast my crown at HIS feet~\n\nHebrews 13:15\nThrough Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name.

Jesus is saying that only God can save a person, that it is possible. Man cannot save man, therefore it is impossible.

I do know there is a Savior! I do know what is most important TO know- But of course I do not know everything- who would know everything? I do know Jesus Christ- and HIS grace is sufficient for me!\n\n2 Corinthians 12:9\nBut he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.\n\n-Amen!

The hardest people to reach with the Gospel are like you, just "good folks." Isiah wrote, "All our righteousness, is as filthy rags." In Hebrew, it is "used menstrual cloths." Our equivalent of Used kotex. Since this is the "Best" we can do, we'd better have Someone's True Righteousness to put in our place. That's where Jesus comes in, He paid the Acceptable Price for our Redemption. The only One to never sin in any way, "Imputes His Righteousness unto us." and then, we are in God's eyes as Righteous as His Only Begotten Son. There is no other way, Jesus said. "I Am the door to the sheepfold, if any man tries to enter by any other way(religion) he is the same as a thief & a robber."

If you are saved we are SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE, so there is always forgiveness. Christ's blood covers all. Everyone has messed up. Ask forgiveness and it is yours.

It depends. I spoke to our Parish priest about that, (^_^) and he said that it was INSPIRED in the prophets who wrote it, so in reality it was not really what Jesus exactly says (or said).\n \n(^_^)

No. We are imperfect. Jesus did gave a report regarding the church eras up to the start of the tribulation. See it here... http://tinyurl.com/nyjzb

Here's what the Apostle Paul under the guidance of God's Holy Spirit wrote you every person ever born including yourself about this subject.\n\n1 Timothy 1:12  I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service,   13   though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,   14   and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.   15   The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.   16   But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.\n\nPaul went around doing terrible things but he said that he was shown mercy so that everyone who came after him would have an example of hope to look to so that no matter what sins they had committed they could trust that God would forgive them if they put their trust in Jesus and his sacrifice for them.

As long as we sincerely repent to HIM for our sins, and never do them again, we will be forgiven. We must also correct, if possible, what was done wrong, "pay a debt, return an item, tell the truth, etc." Jesus died on the cross for us. He took every sin we could do, upon his shoulders and paid the price. The least we could do is acknowledge our wrong doing and never repeat it.

This is how I explain it to my son......"If Jesus wouldn't act like that then you shouldn't either." He is our example to follow. He doesn't expect perfection but he does expect us to try. Best of luck & God bless.

No one except Jesus was or ever will be perfect. God knows and understnads this. He doesn't expect us to be perfect. \n\nWhat he cares about is our heart. The more we love him, the more we desire to do his will and not sin. At the same time as we get close to him, he perfects us. True, we will never be perfect during our life on earth, but God perfects us while we are here. The whole thing is a process (which some go through faster than others). When we get to heaven, we will be perfect, becasue he will have made us perfect. But the thing to remember is it's all God. Everything good about us comes from Him and not ourselves. He is the one who does it all (perfects us). How much and how fast depends on our willingness to surrender to God and allow Him to do so.

They were looking forward to the Redeemer; we are looking back to the Redeemer. There is one underlying message of the entire Bible - salvation by a Redeemer. The OT says that a Savior will come (Genesis 3:15, 17:7 , etc.) . The NT tells us that he has come. The message was not as complete in OT times, but they believed by faith what was reveled to them and it was counted as righteousness.  OT & NT are saved by grace, not by the law or by works.

Luke 23:35\nThe people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."\n(About Jesus, they are referring to the promises the promises don't say chosen one, unless the ones in Jeremiah are...)\n\nKing David was referred to as the chosen one.

Faith alone will not save.\nFaith and Works, alone, will not save.\nFaith, Works, and God's Sanctifying Grace WILL save.\n\nThe idea that faith alone or faith and works alone will save is not true. Anyone who believes this has (inadvertently perhaps?) taken God out of the equation.\n\nFaith, Works, AND - most important of all - God's Sanctifying Grace is what saves. All the faith and works in the world, without God's Sanctifying Grace, will not save.\n\nIt might do well to tell anyone who believes in faith-alone or faith and works alone, not to forget what really saves : God's Sanctifying Grace.

no, we can't do everything that Jesus did

Salvation and Redemption are two different things\nHeb. 7:27, 9:12,26;10:10; 1 Pet 3:18 - Jesus died once and redeemed us all, but we participate in the application of His redemption by the way in which we live.\n\nHeb. 9:12 - Christ's sacrifice secured our redemption, but redemption is not the same thing as salvation. We participate in and hope for salvation. Our hope in salvation is a guarantee if we are faithful to Christ to the end. But if we lose hope and fail to persevere, we can lose our salvation. Thus, by our own choosing (not by God's doing), salvation is not a certainty. While many Protestant churches believe in the theology of "once saved, always saved," such a novel theory is not found in Scripture and has never been taught by the Church. \n\nRom. 5:2 - we rejoice in the "hope" (not the presumptuous certainty) of sharing the glory of God. If salvation is absolutely assured after accepting Jesus as Savior, why would Paul hope? \n\nRom. 5:5 - this "hope" does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Our hope is assured if we persevere to the end. \n\nAs God wills that all men be saved rest asssured that Satan wills all to have moral death, spiritual death for those that follow Christ and His saving teachings.
