Q18 What verses reveal that it is only with God‘s work in us that we can become perfect?

And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Romans 8:7-9

Q21 How does our choice about perfection of character effect our eternal destiny?
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still. And he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 22:11
NOTE: This verse declares that a time is coming when we cannot change sides. Our time for choosing is over, and our choice will remain forever. This will be just before Jesus comes to give the rewards that we will have chosen to have.. ‘Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.’ |
