"And He died for all, that those who live may no longer live for themselves, but for Him who for their sake died and was raised." 2 Corinthians 5:15
The work is finished when a sinner is moved by the Cross to do this.
The work that put sinners right with God is complete. The old hymn tells the truth: “Jesus Paid It All!” We cannot add anything to this saving work that Jesus has accomplished. We cannot improve on it. We cannot supplement it. We cannot make it shine any brighter. We cannot do anything to make God love us more than He already does …
Nothing we can ever learn, nothing that we will ever do, nothing we might ever experience can contribute anything whatsoever to the work that sets us right with God. That work is the perfect doing and the perfect dying of Jesus Christ… Jesus completed the work. God accepted it and stamped it with His endorsement. The work that sets us right with God is finished. “It is finished!” …
The gospel is the “good news” that God has set sinners right with Himself through Jesus Christ.

You couldn't be any more wrong.
Jesus saves us all on his own, and he does it by our faith that his blood cleans us---after we repent of our sins.
We are then to live up to what we have received, and we are to REMAIN IN JESUS' LOVE BY OBEYING.
I spoke scripture.
You speak of a song by sinful man .
You're a typical worker. No more, no less.
So by this it sounds like you think that you can earn eternal life by YOUR wonderful work. Think again.We either work for Christ or the self. He either inspires us with His love or He doesn't.

How do you love if you are not obeying God?
I hardly believe a word you say, and what you do is troll.
In order to obey God you have to learn some things which you will not learn, you refuse to learn.
The very first thing to know about obedience to God is to know that it is impossible for our flesh to obey God because our flesh and our minds are set at enmity with God....we have to receive enablement.
It is something you know nowt about.
Here is ALL of God's commands
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all the heart, all the mind and all the strength and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Go ahead lie through your teeth, tell everyone on TOL that you obey these the only commands God has given us....every day, every hour.
People as say they are saved by obedience are liars
You are a false accuser of the brethren; from whom did you learn that?I hardly believe a word you say, and what you do is troll.
In order to obey God you have to learn some things which you will not learn, you refuse to learn.
What you just said is a contradiction. You said we cannot obey until we are enabled to obey, and then you say we have to obey, and that is by knowing it is impossible to obey. You are badly confused.The very first thing to know about obedience to God is to know that it is impossible for our flesh to obey God because our flesh and our minds are set at enmity with God....we have to receive enablement.

Are you against us surrendering to God? What could God not do by His power, love, and Spirit in a surrendered soul?
If you do not love the Lord your God with ALL your heart and soul and mind, and if you do not love thy neighbour [why don't you attend regular fellowship?] as thyself...
...you are in breach of ALL God's commandments.
You might love, but your love can be made better by obeying Jesus’ teachings.Obey God?
Oh! Are we having the typical ATHEISTS/AGNOSTICS/DEISTS are immoral piece of **** argument?
God is love.Love? That's a part of brain... How does love relate to God?
There might be people in your own household who might be devout Jews and reject Jesus Christ. If you love Jesus that would cause division. There might be in your house all atheists, but if you believe in Jesus, it might cause division.(Bible- MATT 10:34-37 , Do not think I have come here as a saviour of peace , I have come here to turn a man against his father , a daughter against her mother etc etc.
You are not to love anyone more than Jesus. Why is that so hard for you to understand?Who ever LOVES anyone more than me is not worthy of me
A mans enemy are his own family members)
Oh yes above extract from bible shows how lovely and how much loving each other bible teaches..
I was not even debating an atheist. However, atheists can be shown how to love even more, if only they would not lean on their own understanding, but instead just do what Jesus says, and then you will see.Clear your facts, atheists and agnostics are moral , beliefs don't make a person moral, his acts do.... Its just that we don't depend on A book for it... And I don't think your BOOK is teaching us quite good way to love...
Oh yes , you are not using facts boy..... Theology not based on your beliefs please. Its on factsYou might love, but your love can be made better by obeying Jesus’ teachings.
God is love.

What? God is love? That's a fact? Well seems that this debate is leading to Non Factual BasesI am using facts.
