For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Romans 5:19, we have death in the world because of Adam disobedience, but Jesus Christ will redeem us back from the curse. By the way, death is the devil Hebrew 2:14 and he will be last to be destroyed. We are in good hands with Jesus. Glory be to God almighty for our Salvation. .....

v. 44; JN. 14:15; 1 Jn. 2:3

The chapter in context -key: in me(Jesus) - deals with (believers, The Saved) Love, Abide and Fruit Bearing, vs 6. fruit(work) shall burn if we don't abide it becomes wood, hay, and stubble( 1 Cor 3:11-15)..Fruit ( Gal 5:22-23) Love then encompasses all Joy and Peace in us, (next three) with our brethren, (last three) with God. God's work thru us.. Faith in Jesus Christ and love for the brethren.

"..but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." Do you ever think about why God had His Prophets write the Bible so large? We have to understand that God DOES INDEED intend us to know all things, but He waits for us to be able to bear it. There is no need, and absolutely no allowance for guessing, if we are true and sincere His friends!

Paul's Gospel 1 Corinthians 15-1-4, Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and was buried and rose from the dead three days in the power of God. If we know that we are a sinner, believe in the finished work of the cross, what more do we have to do to go to Heaven. Believe with faith plus nothing, that's all. It's that simple. Believe with faith plus nothing. Amen Amen Amen

V. 10 - " ..... created in Christ Jesus UNTO GOOD WORKS ..... "

Jn. 10:32 - Jesus HIMSELF advocated good works, but He was referring to just Himself at this time - as He had not as yet ascended and sent back the Holy Ghost - Acts 2:4, v. 38..

The Law was made for the Jews, to show them that they are sinners. They had to follow the Law and do animal sacrifice to cover there sins for Salvation in the Old Testament. Believing and faith is the same in the Old testament and New testament. But Salvation is different, we are save by grace by faith in Jesus Christ plus nothing. Law, repentance, baptizing, tongues, works, will not save. Free .

Gal. 12:16 - is BEFORE we are saved ( Acts 2:38); works BEFORE salvation are - self righteous works. Our SELF righteous cannot save us

Jas. 2:17, 20

Rosie: I cannot imagine the strain on the heart. Sometimes I go to the phone to call My Son then I remember. But you surely went through a lot more than I did. That Day is coming,Oh what a Celebration it will be! It is amazing how He brings Peace like a river. Thank you for your testimony.

Rom. 10:12; Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:37-38; Acts 4:12

V. 25; Rom. 10: 13-15

Ray:Many x many years back it was a mystery. You're throwing up a smokescreen on a simple plan of salvation.Sinners knowing they are lost, receiving salvation, at that time they receive the same Spirit,that all The Apostles had,have the same message, same desire, preach to the lost, consume His Word. No more animal sacrifice. That's new. It is no secret what God can do! Ephesians 4:4-6 Call on Him

My friends, you see Apostle Peter in 2 Peter :15-16 had a hard time understanding Paul's episode, but he did believe that it was given to Paul from Jesus himself and that anybody that didn't believe, there will be destruction. Peter was for the JEWS and Paul was for the Gentiles Galatians 2:8 how wonderful that Jesus though about the Gentiles. Paul is the Apostle for the Gentiles. All true. ...

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Eph 2:11-12

Wherefore remember, that ye beingin time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. Ephesians 2:11-12 two types, Jews and Gentiles. Yep

The prediction of Christ death and resurrection is joinedwith the essence of man`s responds repentance and the resulting benefits forgiveness Acts 5:31:13:47 Him hath God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a savior for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins and a light of the gentiles that thou should be for a salvation unto the ends of the eart.

In Ref to John 15: Abide, Love,

My friends, Salvation is simple, yes you have to believe your a sinner and need of a Saviour. Our Salvation is only going to be in the writings of Paul, because Jesus Christ chosen him for our time. Paul said " in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Romans 2:16. If we refuse to believe his gospel, we are going to be judged by Jesus Christ.

My friends, all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine , for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Genesis through Malachi is for Jews, Romans through Philemon is for Gentiles and Jews can follow grace. Hebrew through Revelation is for the Jews again, but the Gentiles have to follow the Jews law to get saved. Very simple, no confusion. Now

My friends, Yes Apostle Paul was faithful and believed God, but Jesus had chosen Paul for the Gentiles ( Acts 9:15) and the other Apostles had to follow Jesus comments, do not go in the way of the Gentiles ( Matt 10:5-7). Paul is our Apostle for our time. So Jesus had to give him new Revelations ( Romans 16:25) . We are to follow Paul and read his epistles so we can understand the Bible 2 Tim 2:15

Marlene: Oil is that of The Holy Spirit. The Word of God, read a few more verses it's talking about being saved. Yes, I Believe there are Miracles! I read testimonies of other Believers. But not all Believers are healed? He brings Joy to The Saved while in their affliction. Soon it will end. We all will have New Bodies,He will wipe away all tears. No more pain. Forever with No End.Revelation21

Bruce, thanks for you friendly response. If you were to take out all of the books of the Apostle Paul, Romans through Philemon, can you still find Salvation in our era? Trust me, is not a trick question. You must know that Jesus had a promise to fulfil and that is Jews. Romans through Philemon are dealing with Gentiles. Are you a Jew or Gentile? Apostle Paul is our teacher, Romans 15:16. Bless

My friends, did you know that Jesus (God) gave Apostle Paul secrets (mysteries ). If we read Romans 11:25, Paul tells us that if we don't believe the mysteries of his , that we are blind. We must understand the mystery that God (Jesus ) gave Paul, Colossians 2:2 . To ignore the writings of Paul with be foolish and ignorance. The mystery was kept a secret until Paul got it, share the Mystery. God

My friends, mystery means secret. A secret is something new that nobody knows. God (Jesus ) gave Apostle Paul lots of secrets. Nobody in the Bible knew about this but Paul. Now gospel means good news ( Salvation ). Jesus gave Paul the mystery of the Gospel, Ephesians 6:19. It is plain and simple that Paul was a very important man to Jesus. Jesus was using Paul for a new Revelation, Romans 16:25.

continuing.. So what do WE most often get confronted with and accused for by Church people? For CONVICTING OF SIN, OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OF JUDGMENT. The first thing you Will Always hear is, "Judge Not!" And that's why they changed Repent and Be Converted, to Accept Jesus and ask Him to come into your life. They follow another Jesus, and another Gospel, in order to avoid the offense of the cross.

Some important things to know about WHY we are still here, and that we should not be scandalized because of the Lord's purpose in leaving us here. Comforter, or Paraclete, means the Source and Presence of [our] Calling. It is Profitable FOR US that the Spirit come to us, TO CONVICT THE WORLD OF SIN, OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OF JUDGMENT. For this they will Work Against Us from out of the Synagogues.

Ray: Salvation today hasn't changed. We still look to The Cross,His Blood is the cleansing agent,then The Spirit moves in,We have a New Heart, New Mind, Changed. That happens when We feel a tug in Our Heart,ask forgiveness.( John 6:44, 1John 1:9, 2Corinthians 5:17)Baptized and Sealed with The Holy Ghost:Matthew3:11 / Ephesians 1:13 / you only need to know that Your a Sinner.
