Everyone's contributions are welcome. So let me start with what I think is the very first thing we all really, really need to understand: It was OUR sins that cried out on that terrible day "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" and we are therefore all equally as guilty as those who were our mouthpiece. Lekh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to ensure that you did all those things then we'll use verify by "x" because if you didn't do "n" then you can not be saved. He that has received salvation will do "x, y and Z" plus "a b and c" because he's "p." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord Which has a lot to do with our receiving the grace of God in vain . . .
