Does this passage teach, as some claim, that a person must be totally surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in order to be saved?
According to a common interpretation, bad behavior proves a person is not saved; good behavior proves a person is saved. Is that what this passage teaches?
We know that justification and glorification are by God's grace through faith, not our effort or works. Can we say the same about our present experience of sanctification?
Preservation of believers, not perseverance of the saints, is the view taught by God's Word and is consistent with the gospel of salvation by grace.
Can we truthfully say to anyone 'Jesus Christ died for your sins'? While many Christians say we can, there are some who disagree.
Some Christians use this verse to argue that the faith that saves must be proved by works or it is not genuine.
There are some who think that a person must be regenerated (born again) before he or she can believe the gospel. What does the Bible say?
Some argue from this that willful or continual sin cannot be forgiven and salvation can be lost, or that those in view of judgment were never really saved to begin with.
To those who have been profoundly changed by a clear understanding of God's grace it is often puzzling why more people, unsaved or saved, do not accept that message.
How does karma compare to the biblical concept of grace?
