Why argue,God is the one who judges us I think Ill try to do what the Bible says, it’s pretty plain we are responsible for our own salvation

This has been incredibly eye opening. Thank you Jay, for a thorough discussion of this book that exemplifies what I was raised to believe. Most importantly- Thank God for His Son Jesús Christ, and Lord have mercy on us, sinners, who are continually deceived into believing that we are able to save ourselves.
