There is more grace in God than sin in me. Works, repentance, grace, forgiveness, a change of heart, obedience- they all play a role in our salvation. It is a choice to have a relationship with God. You either let Him in your heart, or you don’t. You choose the fires of Hell or the fire of His presence. You have to want that relationship with Him- seek, grow, pray, walk, talk, fast…all ways we grow closer to Him and mature as Christians.
I will say, some of yall get into the weeds on this stuff. If you just read the Bible, it stands on its own. The Word doesn’t need to be propped up, helped, explained, etc.There is a lot of head knowledge in this thread, but you can see the heart knowledge in the words and responses of the several of the men of God in this thread. That’s what I desire. Do you know the formula better than you know His presence? That is spiritual maturity.
Good posts Jwalker, Bamaeyedoc, and Gomer.
