I seem to recall wars being fought over this same ideology… This is a sad, pitiful, and concerning statement from someone who calls themselves a Christian.

The point of the question is to cause one to think of what they’re trusting in that would gain them Heaven. If you were asked directly by anyone -much less Christ- why you should be allowed in, what’s the answer?

What if He did? What would your answer be?

How about, “Do you love God and the Son He sent to die for you, taking your sins upon Himself so that you might become the righteousness of God in Him?”

Amen and amen.

Absolutely SAME.

The KJV while accurate, does have its own issues due to translation and underlying manuscript(s) differences. To cite it as the “most / least accurate” isn’t a good claim, as it’s hugely dependent on which method you’re ranking it by. Generally speaking, as long as you’re using a word-for-word / formal equivalence translation, you’re in a good position. If you migrate to thought-for-thought or paraphrased translations however, that’s when you’ll be in a more dangerous area. It’s best to read in the original language if you have the ability to, or at the least utilizing multiple translations along with a concordance / interlinear text.

If you stood before God tonight and He asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your reason be? One sentence or less.

From “Morning & Evening” by Charles H. Spurgeon. “That man is out of joint with the universe who takes all but makes no return.”

That is truly horrifying. Oh my goodness.

Bunyan wrote this in Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), after years of torment over his sin. Peace came when he saw his righteousness was not in his feelings at all, but in Christ at God’s right hand. #Gospel

This is beyond appalling. In what way is this biblical?!

Notice who God justifies here: the ungodly. Not the improved or the almost good. The one who stops working to earn His favor and trusts Him is counted righteous, just as Abraham was (Romans 4:3). #SolaFide

From “Morning & Evening” by Charles H. Spurgeon. “It needs faith to act towards our God with an open hand, but surely he deserves it of us; and all that we can do is a very poor acknowledgment of our amazing indebtedness to his goodness.”

From “Morning & Evening” by Charles H. Spurgeon. “Chance is banished from the faith of Christians, for they see the hand of God in everything.”

Calvin was not pointing to Rome here. He meant any church where the Word of God is sincerely preached and heard and the sacraments are administered as Christ instituted them (Institutes 4.1.9). That is where God feeds His children. Don’t neglect it. #LocalChurch
