Like what about Ephesians 2:8-9 and Romans 3:28 where we’re told that slavation and justification does NOT come through us or even what we DO...but is a free gift from Christ and God (separate from the law). I know that God wants us to do our best to live a good life, though he knows in advance we’ll fall short, so how can we be judged for what we’ve DONE if we ALL fall short? Surely...all aren’t damned right? I must be misinterpreting something here and any answers and advice are welcome. Thank you! Jesus also said "Make every effort to enter the narrow door." I suggest following Jesus' command to "love the lord your god with all your heart and all your soul" if you want anything from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
