See Galatians 2:20-21.
Even after Calvary, we find that Jesus Christ lives! And... we find that we ourselves are also alive. Therefore we must live our lives in a manner that does not "frustrate the grace of God."
Yes, we do "good works" and we are obedient to God's commands; but those "works" and that obedience isn't what gave us this life. It was the the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross that saved us. That is the source of our life. I don't obey God to "get saved." I obey God because I am saved. |
SHONDO. Now THAT will make me want to experience glossolalia.
