1 John 2:1-2 "My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world."

Christ Himself bodily is the propitiation for both the saved and the unsaved. That is what he achieved on the cross, making Himself a worthy lamb to pay for all of man's sins, both saved and unsaved.

@ele12957returns Ah yes, Romans 10:

you must believe the gospel (the knowledge of the righteousness of God)

you must put your trust in Jesus.

you must declare Jesus with your mouth

you must believe God resurrected Jesus

you must call on Jesus for deliverance.

A different list from mine, but as I said mine was only a partial list. The shortest summary would be this:

YOU MUST OBEY THE GOSPEL TO BE SAVED.

@ele12957returns Of course I have not given scripture yet, I only introduced some of the concepts that scripture teaches as a starting point.

[RobertMOdell]

@ele12957returns God cannot reconcile the relationship without a willing partner. You must be WILLING.

[RobertMOdell]

@ele12957returns I can support ALL of this with scripture.

[RobertMOdell]

@ele12957returns Judas was disobedient and he lost his salvation. Peter was disobedient but repented and was restored by Jesus as recorded in John.

[RobertMOdell]

You can forgive those who persecute you, but that does not reconcile the relationshp between you.

[RobertMOdell]

@RobertMOdell If Jesus finds you worthy by reason that you are obeying the gospel, he will continue to save you. He will justify you, sanctify you, wash you, resurrect you, etc. Salvation is a process and includes eternal life and also deliverance from bondage to sin in this life. Justification is instant based on Christ's knowledge of whether you have a saving faith (one that is willing to obey Him) and is granted purely by grace according to what Christ has accomplished.

@ele12957returns Here is a VERY partial list:

You must: believe in God, believe that Jesus is the Son of God, shed His blood and was raised from the dead, acknowledge the need and seek forgiveness of your sins, you must be willing to obey Jesus, put your trust in Jesus, specifically obey Jesus in baptism, continue to walk in the spirit, endure to the end.

@ele12957returns It is possible with God to save a rich man's heart because God is in the business of changing hearts.
