Look for an upcoming post on some recent sermons I've listened to on the "Marrow Controversy" in Scotland that addresses the errors of both legalism and antinomianism.<br /><br />JTRJeffrey T.

The truth is that we will *never* be lost.... What? If you murder? Yes. If you steal and blaspheme? Yes. But does the true believer desire to live this way? No! Even when we fall into sin, and when we sin every day of life, we hate that we love our sin. <br /><br />Nothing can pluck us out of God's hand.... praise God this is true. Praise Him that our 'keeping' is as much His work as our 'saving' was. Otherwise I'd be done. Finished. Lost.<br /><br />He saves. He keeps - to the uttermost. Yes, I sin constantly, but my desire is to love Him. To please Him. To obey Him. One day, I will do all these sinlessly. I long for that day... :)<br /><br />But God is, even now, seeing me through Christ's righteousness. Amazing that His love is unchanging when I am so changeable...Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.com
