is grace something we are sure of now or do we have to grow into it?

are you sure Jesus blood covers the sin we commit now or do it covers the sins of the past after we had accepted his as Lord and sviour?

Paul speaks of the sins that are past

Romans 3

²⁴Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

²⁵Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

²⁶To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Jesus died for the sin of mankind past present and future. But, it does not mean that as soon as we realize that we have sinned we do not ask for forgiveness. We sin daily - though we may not even recall that we have sinned - and therefore should ask God to forgive us daily - just as Jesus taught us to pray - daily - the Lord's Prayer - and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. The debt for sin that we could not pay has been paid on the cross for us.

How do I lve God and my neighbour?

how?

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:3-4

in Genesis 6

out of a whole earth only one man was worthy of saving and by the mercy of God let the other 7 come along

Genesis 6

¹And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

²That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

³And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

⁴There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

⁵And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁶And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

⁷And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

⁸But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. ⁹These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

how hard or easy is it to become saved?

Shem, Noah's oldest son lived until Jacob was 50 years old and i suspect that he might have been Melchizadec. He was also in line from Noah to Jesus. Another thing about him is that he lived for 100 years with Methuselah, who was alive before Adam died. So, I suspect that he, at least, along with his father Noah be of the Lord.

( Quick aside....I don't believe Melchizedek was Shem, that is a Jewish myth that is not based on Scripture but on conjecture. )

[ozell]

Yes, I'm sure. God has adopted me into his family and he is not going to throw me out. He loves me, so much in fact that he sacrificed his only son so I could be adopted, and I love him. There is nothing more to be said.

Jesus said

Proverbs 8:17

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

1 John 5:3

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

and

John 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

do you keep his commandments for him to love you?

lets look at the verse you quoted

who is it that God love in this world?

John 3

¹⁵That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

are you sure?

Melchizadek is without mother and father

shem is with a mother and father

it is a myth, where it came from I don't know?

Please tell me how do I love Jesus ?

How do I love my fellow neighbour?

the verses you use is not telling me how to love?

2 Peter 3:18

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

the Lord had Peter write that we are to grow in grace

is grace something we are sure of now or do we have to grow into it?

The NT is somewhat like the English language in all its variants.

Again, grace means several things:

1) first and foremost, it is God's unmerited favor,

2) by it we are born again, believe and are saved from his wrath on our sin

3) it is also the effect of grace, in the spiritual state of grace (2Pe 3:18) and in deeds of grace (1Co 16:3), and many more.

Hope this helps.

Cordially,

Eleanor

according to the bible it is your first and fore most answer

Noah kept God's laws and he was under grace

tell me why did Jesus have to find GRACE in this man of God?

think about it a moment the teching of today is that we are under grace and not the law, but this man of God was under the law and the Lord found grce in him.

not only did Noah have grace in him He was just and perfect ⁹These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

⁸But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. ⁹These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

how hard or easy is it to become saved?

Well, according to Jesus, it's as hard or easy as believing in him (Jn 3:16).

it should be easy because John 3:16 speak on these people in Genesis 6

¹⁵That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸He that believeth on him is not condemned:(noah) but he that believeth not is condemned ( the people of the world that was destroyed by a flood) already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
