[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1678857, member: 39018"] Wow, what an incredibly bold self righteous boast. Matt. 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Did you ever ask yourself, where did you get your "golden rule" in which you place your hope from? How "good" do you have to be in order to avoid God's judgement? How many sins does it take to condemn you before Him eternally? Remember that not only is God a loving and kind and forgiving God, he is also a truthful and JUST God. He tells us that sin, any sin, condemns completely, and rejection of His saving grace to you is perhaps the greatest sin of all. So then, how many "good deeds" performed according to the "golden rule" are required to make up for all of your sins? How will you ever know if you are "good enough"? I know with certainty that [B][U]I[/U][/B] am NOT good enough, no matter how hard I might try to live by the "golden rule"... in fact, I know that "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags", Isaiah 64:6 I know that we ALL are condemned, without the entirely free redeeming work of Christ. 6[B] "All we [/B]like sheep have gone astray; we have turned[B] every one[/B] to his own way;[B] [/B]and the Lord hath laid on Him (Christ)[B] [/B]the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6 Eph. 2:1-10 [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-1.htm'][B]1[/B][/URL]And you [I]hath he quickened[/I], [U]who were dead[/U] in trespasses and sins; [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-2.htm'][B]2[/B][/URL]Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-3.htm'][B]3[/B][/URL][U]Among whom also [B]we all[/B][/U] had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-4.htm'][B]4[/B][/URL]But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-5.htm'][B]5[/B][/URL][U]Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us[/U] together with Christ, [B]by grace ye are saved[/B]; [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-6.htm'][B]6[/B][/URL]And hath raised [I]us[/I] up together, and made [I]us[/I] sit together in heavenly [I]places[/I] in Christ Jesus: [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-7.htm'][B]7[/B][/URL]That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [I]his[/I] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-8.htm'][B]8[/B][/URL][B][U]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [I]it is[/I] the gift of God[/U]: [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-9.htm'][B]9[/B][/URL]Not of works, lest any man should boast.[/B] [URL='https://biblehub.com/ephesians/2-10.htm'][B]10[/B][/URL]For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. The day of reckoning is fast approaching. Hebrews 9:27-28 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. May God grant you grace to believe. [/QUOTE]
