Greater works than Christs? - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Gail Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same Registered: 12/10/02 Posts: 13212 Loc: Buon giorno, Principessa	Wrap your brain around these words of Christ (I invite comments!): "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also: and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." John 14:12 _________________________ Gail gail@adventistforum.com And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. Isaiah 32:17

I know... I like to ponder verses like this because it shows me that God is not against good works at all. Our works do not merit anything as far as our salvation is concerned, but are an extension of God's love reaching out through us. Myself, I would rather be with people who do well than those who choose to do evil. _________________________ Gail gail@adventistforum.com And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

All Christians WILL demonstrate their love for God with good works. _________________________ Another one of Woodies Goodies Brought to you by Redwood ... a better tree for a new tomorrow. Redwood

JeriAnne Registered: 09/11/07 Posts: 91 Loc: Knoxville, TN	That just CANT be right God!!!! I could NEVER do the works JESUS did!!!!! He was part of the TRINITY...I am just an old hillbilly! I am SURE you got this one wrong! Unless this thing about livin' in my heart has anything to do with it! I don't think my heart is very good at doing much of anything good! I find it pretty amazing that you wanted to come into it at all!!! I don't like going there much! This promise seems pretty impossible to me!!!!! Guess you will just have to show me!
