The more we study it and the Holy Spirit teaches us how to follow it, the more it becomes hidden in our hearts to keep us from sin. Thank you as always for your encouraging and uplifting words.<br />God bless you,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-3745038290680748592016-11-28T11:33:59.383-08:002016-11-28T11:33:59.383-08:00Amen, Donald!

All the "good" deeds we could possibly do are not enough to work our way to Heaven, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-88850219175242384882016-11-28T11:08:35.106-08:002016-11-28T11:08:35.106-08:00Hi Laurie,

One of the first things that the Lord pointed out to me was that I must not just be a hearer of that word, but endeavour to be a 'doer' of it, acting on what was spoken to me from it, and doing what He has called me to do. <br />I love the fact that the more we act on that word spoken to us, the more it proves itself true. Lovely post Laurie.

Abraham was not righteous because of his actions, but because he believed <br />God. Able gave the proper sacrifice because he believed God. We are saved today because we believe God. As Frank mentioned, so many have based their salvation on their actions rather than in faith, and as the scriptures state, without faith it is impossible to please him.

Organized religions, many of which are built on false doctrines, flourish, but there is always a remnant of God's faithful people who trust in Him alone. Only He gives salvation as a free, unmerited, unearned gift to all those who accept it. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Imagine what life must have been like during the European Middle Ages before Martin Luther was born. But even for a thousand years before that great Reformer, there were churches around which had rejected the Papal system and clung to the hope of salvation through faith only, indicating that God's witness to the truth remained unbroken from the dawn of history to the present day.<br />An excellent post.
