Sell all that you have and follow me

[Winchester]

It's good advice. I did that and one week later, I was winning big in Vegas. Positively covered in gorgeous women.

Oh. I meant to say you have to love your neighbor as yourself. I was on my phone. Autocorrect.

Turn into my retirement account and I will save you (for later).

 

Seek to know and follow the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Believe in Him. Things will start to fall into place better that way.

It depends.  Are we going "Roman Road" Paul, or Philippians "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" Paul (or satirically, Ron Paul)?

 

Edit:  I'm tired, wrote the wrong word in one of the quotes and fixed it.

[ToJesusMyHeart]

Rom. 8:24,

Eph. 2:5–8

1 Cor. 1:18,

2 Cor. 2:15,

Phil. 2:12

 

Have the hope that you will be saved (Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15).

 

Like the apostle Paul, work out your salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12), with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2 Tim. 2:11–13).

[KnightofChrist]

To be saved, you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31), but the Sacred Scriptures show other things you must also do to be saved.

You must endure to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.

You must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27.

You must be baptized with water. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5 Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21.

You must be a member in God's true church. Acts 2:47.

You must confess your sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9

You must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21

You must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.

You must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16, I Corinthians 11:23-29

Be baptised and believe.

[Norseman82]

Childbearing (1 Tim. 2:15).

[Tab'le De'Bah-Rye]

Childbearing (1 Tim. 2:15).

 

So priests and nuns aren't saved ? Post the whole verse. :)

That wasn't women, just a really good trick mirror. That's why they all had the same dress.

 

Winni is right though. He won more toys are the Vegas county fair than anyone else.

A person must participate in the grace which God offers to them. God extends all sorts of graces to His children, whether they be Buddhist, Jewish, or atheist. By their fruit you shall know them. I do not believe it is possible for a bad tree to bear good fruit. In that sense I think of God as a belief-pragmatist. God can be found behind so many difference symbols — even if the Roman Catholic Church is the sign and sacrament of salvation, because it offers the most perfect image of God Incarnate. I am convinced that Chinese people find God in the persona of Buddha and that non-believers are able to find God in the abstract idea of human rights — however, imperfectly these symbols may be.

IMO this ^^^^^^^^ is paramount.........

John 4:

[25] And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?
[26] But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou?
[27] He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. [28] And he said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
 
Acts 16:

[27] And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

[28] But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.

[29] Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.

[30] And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
[31] But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

[32] And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.

[33] And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.

[34] And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.

 

 

We must love God with our entire being, and to do so necessarily entails loving our neighbours, being baptised, submitting ourselves to the Church, etc..

[John Ryan]

Christ's gospel was not focused so much on worshiping Him, as St. Paul preached, but rather about participating in the Grace of God in one's life. Love God, who by this time in history was conceived of as cerebral and not very tribalistic, and Love your Neighbor.
