This is where you have missed it. THE WHOLE WORLD HAS ALREADY BEEN RECONCILED UNTO GOD BY JESUS CHRIST.
You are badly mistaken. If the whole world has already been reconciled to God by Jesus---then no one would have to know about Jesus.
As the scripture says, we do not ENTER thatgrace unless we have faith that is alive with obedience.
So that now, "Whosoever that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13.
If you call on Jesus' name---YOU HAD BETTER BE OBEYING HIM.
Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
What don't you get about Jesus' words STAND FOREVER?
No works, no obedience, no nothing. salvation is by grace through faith, plus nothing.
No more PURIFICATION/CEREMONIAL WORKS!
Jesus didn't die and do away with everything he said!
God did not nail obedience to the cross!
Faith alone is dead and cannot save anyone, faith and right actions works together, faith is made complete by right action. See James 2:14, 17, 20, and 22.
You don't go by James?
What does Paul say?
I will tell you what Paul says!
Romans 2:5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.
