I'm a complicated person. It sounds like faith is
another kind of work.
Love,

Love,
Caroline You might look
at it this way Caroline. Jesus is not only Savior. He is also
Lord. If you accept Him, you must accept Him as both. That is why
He says you must die to self and live for Him. That is why He asks of
some,"Why do you call me Lord, when you will not do as I tell you". All
of us who are saved are saved by faith, but He measures our faith by how we
follow. It is impossible to have faith without being faithful. It
is impossible to be faithful without being obedient to His commands. If
He says that we should forgive, and we do not forgive, we are unfaithful, and
our claim of being saved by faith is questionable.
Hope that makes sensee
to you. It is too simple for some to
grasp.
