True or false: Salvation (Eternal Life) is something we can earn?
Salvation is by grace, not works, the Bible is very clear on that.
False, based on a false premise....there is no evidence that supports that life can be eternal.
This salvation stuff sounds a lot like a childs reward system. I guess adults feel like they need to be rewarded for being good people.
It is who we are as sons of God. But it is a process of realization. You can't earn what you are.
False, salvation is freely given.

PEOPLE today take great pride in personal accomplishments, and they are often quick to boast about them. Christians are different. They refrain from overemphasizing their own accomplishments, even those having to do with true worship. While they rejoice over what God's people accomplish as a whole, they keep their individual contribution in the background. They realize that in God's service, right motives are more important than personal accomplishments. Anyone who is eventually given the gift of eternal life will have gained it, not by personal accomplishments, but through faith and by God鈥檚 undeserved kindness.
Romans 3:21-26





But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forebearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:23 says: ';For the wages of sin is death BUT the **GIFT** of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gods GIFT is eternal life.

True


Does not the bible teach faith without works is dead ?


Does it not expect us to live a certain life style ?


Are we not told to come to an accurate knowledge ?


Do not these things take an effort ?


Is it not our duty to strive for our salvation ?





If salvation is free for all of what great value is it ?


Does not every thing of value have a price ?


Why bother with the bible , preaching and living a christian life style if your going to get it anyway ?

It is certainly false. We cannot earn our way to heaven, as God shows no favoritism and does not determine whether or not we get to heaven by our works. It is through Jesus Christ that we have salvation. Jesus said, ';I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me';.
Salvation is a gift from God through Jesus.
No. Salvation is a free gift, by Faith you believe in Jesus Christ and nothing you can do to earn this. Read Ephesians 2:8-10.(KJV).
Your brain consists of all your thoughts and memory. When you die and all that goes away. What do you think you have left?
False. If you believe in the Abrahamic god it is already predetermined. You know, that whole omniscience thing.
try disobeying God after he sent his son to teach us what we must do to gain eternal life. Christ opened the doors to heaven with his death, but we dont enter unless we fullfill the scriptual demands.
Consciousness doesn't always go hand in hand with the body.


I've been knocked quite a few times. And have no memory of it. Felt no pain.


If you haven't had the experience, you'll only make up stuff and you'll be wrong.


Our next awakening will be something new. Reality is always new and never limited to your body or your sense of identity. The reason why we feel old is a result of our programming and memory.


It's an illusion created by......us!


We're in the wrong.


We're in such a beautiful, fun experience that we can't beleive or see it.


We make up problems because it's too good to be true.
