There are two ways you can try to duplicate an orange:
1). Use the available materials and knowledge to build and orange (You would end up with something that looks like an but not an orange )

2). Search for the seed, plant it, and watch it grow.

The two ways requires some form of effort but one is more frustrating.
The first is when you try to be holy like God with your good works (human effort)

The second requires faith but you still have to put your effort in planting the seed and taking care of it until it grow and bear fruits (effort of faith.
The first requires works of righteousness while the second involves works of faith -- you apply works but you have faith in God to make it grow.

Yes grace without works is no grace because grace is works but not works of righteousness/the law but works of faith.

By faith you planted the seed believing that it will grow
By faith you nurture the plant and you didn't force it to grow by your effort but you believe in God to make it grow. Yes faith also requires works.

You can't make yourself live like Jesus live but you can plant his life (the living word of God) and patiently watch it grow and watch yourself become like him.

What do you understand by this?

"you were made alive with Christ even when you were dead in trangressions€it is by grace you've been saved." Eph 2:5

Lets say I gave you a million naira for something you did, and you met a friend later who asked you whether you received the money freely or not, what would you say?

Goshen360:
^^^

How shall we who are DEAD to sin....live in it any longer! !!. It's only a sin conscious person (instead of sin cautious?) that will always see sin in the gospel of grace and sees sin in everything a christian does.

Far from it, I do not use the preaching of God's grace as though it's meant to cover immorality but God's grace is bigger than any man.

By the way, Grace didn't come cheap, someone already paid for it so I don't have to pay nothing anymore. ...

Belexy95:
@OP, U quoted james out of context, study carefully and u ll get d message he passed across. There's a place for prayer and fastings, its not necessary to fast for anything grace covered. If God didnt demand mankind fasting to be saved but a simple act of faith in christ. For by grace are u saved thro faith... Lets learn to stop where d scriptures stop and not add our thought to it.

Goshen360:
Put it this way,

I give you a FREE GIFT of a brand new car and turn around to tell you you will pay me $300 monthly....

FREELY GIFT. ...for $300 every month?

Belexy95:
Nice write up! But i think this is the challenge, we add things on our own. There's no place in d scriptures we were asked to pray and fast to recieve grace from God. Grace has been given freely and is to be recieved by simple faith.

An2elect2:
Pls the two questions are false. One led to the other.
You can't die when you are suppose to be saved.

Let me ask you, who is the saviour of a man's soul? Does He need help to save somebody?

MaryJohn247:
I have been a follower of the family section for a couple of years. I have a serious issue that is threatening my marriage, I have no one to talk to as I am abit conscious about discussing my marriage with others even family. I am hoping to get some advice or ideas from here.

I have been married for a year now, my husband and I dated for a while before tying the knot. We never had sex before marriage, though we did alot of other things, I was just never ready to take it to the next level. After the wedding, trying to have sex was very difficult. I was very tight and it was extremely painful (unfortunately, pain is one thing I have never been able to tolerate). What did we not try, getting drunk, taking drugs. Long story short we finally had sex about 5months into the marriage. I have to say that my husband was very understanding and I will forever love him for this.

The problem now is that sex is extremely uncomfortable for me. It is always a battle for him to penetrate, because for me the pain always feels like the first time. Just imagine that everytime we want to get down there is always a struggle before he finally enters. My husband is tired and has told me that i need to find a way of solving this issue. Infact he said I should not speak to him until I am ready to open my legs and stay put for him to penetrate. He says he is loosing all the desire he has for me at the moment. I dont know what to do, I am so distraught. I feel like a failure as a wife, I mean who has ever heard of a new wife running from sex because of the fear of pain.
I dont know if its psychological or if there is something wrong with me down there physically. All I know is that I need help, because I cannot imagine loosing my best friend and soul mate. Pls is there anyone who has gone through this, can anyone help with suggestions on how I can learn to open up, relax and deal with the discomfort. Because I believe that if I can do this, then I can be able to let go and then it will be pleasurable for him and myself as well.

An2elect2:
Please this question is wrong.
There is nothing like a person dying in the process of salvation.
Salvation is by Grace and it is God's doing.
You can't die, if God has willed that you will be saved.
No man can get himself saved!

saintlawr:
*[[1Co 11:6]] ISV* So if a woman does not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it is a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her own head.

I wonders what's so difficult to understand here, it cost nothing when women cover their head and cost something when they don't. The Bible says they dishonors there Head..
What the woman head here, let's see
*[[1Co 11:3]] ISV* Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.
So the head here is the man.
The head of the wife is the husband and the head of unmarried lady is her Father.
So why will a lady consciously dishonors her father or husband when the Bible said..
*[[Eph 6:2]] KJV* Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise
Cover ur head my sister.... God bless u

KoloOyinbo:
Please see the excellent explanation of 'Hiswordxray' which should make matters clear. I rather suspect that it by 'FAITH ALONE' we are saved - not whether or not a womans hair is covered.

KoloOyinbo:
VERY well put indeed! Reading the Bible is not enough we must strive for UNDESTANDING!

In my mothers day it was very much the custom for all Irishwomen t cover their hair. Today that custom is no longer followed among the younger generation. Its neither good nor bad - just custom.

Ebigbola:
This Topic has been a Topic without a answer.but in 1st Cotinthians 11vs15 says it all,but if a woman has long hair,it is a glory to her;for her hair is given to her for a covering.we shlould know the different btw HAir N Head

chibwike:
That doesn't make you unholy.....God is more concerned about the heart....than the outward appearance....buh sometimes its better to be on a safer side..and obey the words of the bible.

Hiswordxray: In the book of first Corinthians Paul gave certain
instructions and he gave a reason for each of these
instructions. Some he said it is directly from the Lord,
another he said it's from the wisdom that God gave
him, yet another he said it's just an advice. But when it
came to the issue of women covering their hair he said
"Now if anyone is disposed to be argumentative and
contentious about this, we hold to and recognize no
other custom [in worship] than this, nor do the
churches of God generally." (1Cor 11:16).
Paul didn't say didn't say this is directly from the Lord
and he didn't say if women didn't cover their hair they
will go to Hell.
But Paul said this is a custom. Custom tells you what
you need to do to be a part of a group or a society.
And to be a part of the Church as at that time you must
cover your hair as a woman.
But the gospel tells you what you need to do to make
heaven and have a foretaste of heaven on earth.
Women covering hair is nothing but a custom for
believer as at the time that verse was written. But if you
choose to follow it fine and if you don't want to follow
it there is nothing wrong with that.

italo:
Please show us where he said that.

Kayzeemine:
The answer is Heaven. The moment a sinner confess his/her sins and forsakes them and confess the Lord Jesus as Savior then if he/she dies he will make heaven FOR AS LONG AS HE/SHE DID NOT GO BACK TO SIN BEFORE DEATH COMES. Salvation of a man's soul indeed is a gradual process. when a man get converted, there are many processes that must follow, like baptism, sanctification and soon. Nevertheless a newly converted must stay in Christ and must not go back to sin...that's the only way to heaven

Shawl001:
. I didn't really see an answer in what you've wrote. Point øƒ correction, am not battling or engaging in *doctrinal war* or whatsoever. Just making issues clearer ƒσя us all to see. Well, in Heaven, things will be made clearer to us all. #teamHeaven#

twosquare: Many will even go to heaven(the planet called Heaven is so spacious), and heaven even won't know they have arrived in that world. You know these angels have sight to decipher people, when they look at you, they will say this one hasn't not started even an iota of the course(salvation)...
