You can read again what Dan quoted LS as saying below in quote box.
You simply cannot take the love and mercy of God out of the salvation equation.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: |
I hope no one is saying you can take love, mercy, and grace away from salvation. I think we are saying neither can you take out obedience. It all has a part.
