Good luck on those prayers, unless you asking for a “Miracle”!
I thing you are right about that one.
At my expense,
No one needs power to believe and repent of their sins.
Funny how the Father has to draw us unto the Son ( John 6:44 ) to reveal His Son to us ( Matthew 11;25-27 ) so we can believe in Him & be saved as it is by not believing in Him is how sinners are condemned already John 3:18 Our believing in Him is a work of God Himself John 3:21 So why brag about free will of man when man is a slave to sin for why God has to draw us to the son to reveal His son to us so we can believe?
We have to do more than believe.
We have to believe that we have to obey him.
We have to believe He will do His work in us so we can obey Him in following Him John 6:28-29
Right, and we have to confess and repent of our sins before we are saved.
Sinners that are slaves to sin need to hear the hope that Jesus Christ came to save sinners from their sins so they will no longer live in them; therefore the only repentance required is to believe in Him.
Otherwise salvation is not born of God but of the will of the flesh and the will of man since he has to repent from all sins before coming to & believing in Jesus Christ.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
You don't sound like a person who ever gave up anything for Jesus.
I run that race by faith in Jesus Christ as my Good Shepherd to help me lay aside every weight & sin daily,
Whereas you say you had to repent from all sin before you got saved but guess what? Later on you found out about other sins you needed to repent of so now what? Were you saved then when you finally repented of all sins or were you saved back then the first time which you claimed you had repented from all sins for when you were saved?
And I say you are saved when you had first believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God has raised Him from the dead and that is the gospel paul had preached and I do not see anything in that gospel presentation about repenting from all sins first.
Romans 10:8-17 KJV
Who goes against obeying Jesus and repenting of sins if they ever obeyed Jesus then they would feel the power in it.
Jesus says his words are Spirit and life.
You don't get the Spirit unless you obey his words.
Just believing his words are nothing.
Believe all the scriptures where he says that.
No way. Faith alone is dead, and we are blessed if we don't just hear but actually obey.
lol
Eternal life is the prize. You should make a thread on it. I have so many scriptures to show you.
Romans 2:5 But because of your stubbornness and
your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
bam
That is about running that race as His disciple in being received by the Bridegroom as that vessel unto honor in His House that will never die like the angels and never marry either & live in the City of God..
You aren't telling the truth.
Give the scripture that says that. You can't.
The Galatians were talked into the purification works, like circumcision and the observance of special days.
The problem here is that you limit that works of the law to only purification works when the works of the law under the Old Covenant was to make the Jewish people the people of God, as well as obtain eternal life by. So my quoting scripture in Galatians for you to dismiss it entirely as only pertaining to purification works is vain. How about Romans in how grace is not of works?
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
How about how Abraham was NOT justified by works before God but for something else.. by believing God!
Romans 4:1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
So are you working for your salvation? Then you do so out of debts. You should run that ace out of joy, knowing you are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and He will even carry you all the way Home for believing in Him to do it.
I can show you many people who believe in Jesus and don't obey. That is because of people like you.
Not when I have been warning all believers just as Jesus has warned His disciples that they can be left behind for not abiding in Him & His words as His disciples, and that includes believers that believe faith without works being dead applies to faith in Jesus Christ for salvation which is without works. Running that race for obtaining salvation is a work of iniquity because that work denies Him as the Savior as able to save all those who believe in Him, even in His name.
We run that race as saved believers and we run with confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ to deliver us from ever evil work and to preserve us unto His heavenly kingdom.
2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
