A DIFFICULT ONE
Romans 4: I must tell you it is very difficult for me to maintain my writing about salvation in this article because Paul is trying to introduce humility to the Corinthians. It is apparent they have become 'too big for their britches' and need to be taken down a peg or two.
In verse 5 Paul tells them: "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time, wait till the Lord comes." It appears they were trying to play God to some degree by adding and taking away things pertaining to spiritually.
Paul's objective is to teach them to treasure their new found faith and not add burdens on the saints; this is also applicable for all of us today. This is the reason I am so much against religions today that place burdens on their members creating all kinds of problems that are totally unnecessary when you compare them to the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus says He is 'the Way, the Truth and the Life' which means we should follow Him, believe Him and know that by accepting Him as our Lord and Savior we will have eternal life.
You can know this if you will only:
Read the Bible to discover the truth for your self.
PS Please note the ending of the article and how it ends with a salvation message; thank you Holy Spirit.
I remain your friend and servant, Nick Number 399
