Would the Thief on the Cross would have been saved without these actions?
1. He Confesses
2. He Repents
3. He Rebukes Sin
4. He Requests Mercy
5. He Defends Christ
Are works like these not necessary for salvation?
But it is for all of an unbeliever's sins that he perishes, not only for the sin of unbelief. How tragic is that sin, though, for if only he had believed, all his other sins would have been washed away!
Those who believe not in Jesus Christ, that He is the true Messiah, the Son of God, and the Lamb of God, will "die in their sins." Unbelief is itself a sin, added to the pile of their other sins.
The Protestant doctrine of Sola Fide refuted in one image.
It wasn't enough for the Israelites to simply believe God would protect them. They had to physically apply the blood to the doorpost. Without the act of obedience that faith remained "dead"
Propitiation is a seldom used and little understood term but still conveys a very important Biblical concept. When Christ "propitiated" our sins on the cross, he make full satisfaction to the righteous demands of God's justice.
It is used in KJV, at least, in the older English meaning of a "an eager expectation of some longed for future event. " Our Christian experience strengthens our hope, for God's love is still in us working powerfully through all that we go through as Christians.
Hope is often used in modern English to mean a possible but uncertain desire, as in the phrase "I hope so. " But in the Bible, it is used very differently.
He is the "landlord" of all the earth, and he decided to take the land of Canaan from the idolatrous and wicked Canaanites and give it to his people for an everlasting possession.
