There's a simulated notion going merely about that Jesus loves His children without expectations. The Bible teaches a no-works salvation, but the Bible does NOT instruct a no-works Christian life. This simulated notion has 3 huge flaws: 1. It assumes you lot tin dearest Christ without obeying Him. But Christ says, "If you lot dearest me, you lot volition proceed my commandments" (John 14:15). 2. It assumes you're saved for sky alone, non for earth. But "we are God's workmanship created inward Christ Jesus to create expert plant which God prepared inward advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). 3. It assumes Christ's dearest is permissive, tolerating sinfulness. But Jesus said, "Those whom I dearest I rebuke in addition to discipline. So endure earnest in addition to repent" (Revelation 3:19). If nosotros aren't interested inward showing our dearest for Christ past times doing things that delight Him, nosotros ask to brain the alarm inward 2 Corinthians 13:5: "Examine yourselves to run into whether you lot are inward the faith. Test yourselves."
Walking inwards busy pedestrian areas, I frequently uncovering Jehovah's Witnesses as well as Baha'i representatives handing out literature as well as proselytizing. Both of these faiths contain Jesus inwards their beliefs, only non the Jesus of the Bible (2 Corinthians 11:4). Neither views Jesus every bit God nor believes His redemption on the cross was plenty to relieve us. It makes me deplorable to run across people stopping to hear to their presentations, only I realize at that spot volition e'er move faux voices claiming to verbalise truth. It started when Eve listened to individual who told her she could move similar God. Yes, Satan sowed seeds of dubiety inwards her heed near the things God had told her (Genesis 3:1-4). All faux religions are born from that same prevarication - that God isn't who He says He is, then nosotros tin larn our ain gods or create our ain gods. Give us a view for the lost, honey Lord.
