Do I need the Gospel after becoming a Christian?

[psalms 91]

Yes. A lot of scripture in the New Testament refers back to the ones in the Old Testament.

The Old is what they had till later while Jesus was on earth they used the Old testament. It is key to understanding the New

[Lamb]

YES! SO true. And since Genesis the promise of the Savior was given. Do we need the Gospel after becoming a Christian. Most definitely or people begin to trickle into work righteousness mode and want to become their own savior.

Lord Jesus preached "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." This is my 2 pennies today. Since He called us out of the kingdom of darkness into the marvelous light of the Kingdom of Heaven, we need to learn everything we can about living in our new location and learn to live as Kingdom of Heaven citizens.

Don't worry about the many, only yourself. We have a mandate.

Gal. 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

This is true that as believers we want to live as little Christs. It is fitting in order to show love to God and our neighbor. Do we need the Gospel still while on this earth? Of course we DO. It's the Gospel that's making us into the new Adams.

Christians will be judged by the fruit they bear in reformatory work. Every true Christian will show what the truth of the gospel has done for him.
Men have been quarried out of the world, not to be left as rough stones, but to be taken into the workshop of God, and placed under the axe and hammer and chisel of gospel truth, till all the roughness disappears, and they are made ready for the heavenly polishing.

"Under the Law" clarification... means you haven't broken it. The Holy Spirit will never lead you to break the law.

At our judgment, Christians will be judged in God's favor because we have faith in the Savior. Our sins are forgiven.

Those without faith are judged according to their deeds, which are done not by faith and so they have damned themselves for rejecting the Savior and His forgiveness of sins.

Are you speaking of the judgement seat of Christ or the Great Throne judgement?

 

[Lamb]

Are you speaking of the judgement seat of Christ or the Great Throne judgement?

Does it matter? As a Christian I have faith, so I will have eternal life. My works are judged on what I have done and will be accounted for as good BECAUSE they are done by faith, the Holy Spirit sees to it that I do good works and produce faith.

 

[psalms 91]

There is a vast difference between the judgement seat of Christ and the great white throne judgement.

Faith without substance, foundation in Him is nothing.

 

[Lamb]

Faith without substance, foundation in Him is nothing.

He plants it, He waters it, He grows it It's not a matter of how much faith we have but if we have faith for salvation. I think we all have faith smaller than a mustard seed and I doubt anyone here on this site can truly boast. Our faith grasps onto the Gospel message of the Savior and our redemption.

I would love to see another thread opened on this subject and you presenting the difference between the two.
