The word: Grandson is no where in the King James Bible. To teach this to lambs in arms and Gods sheep, is not good.
Let us all Read, 1 Timothy 6. All of it.
We all bear the responsibility to teach the truth.
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision.
It made sense to me the scriptures I'm gonna share with you. My life with the Lord has been so full, that I finally realized I must be a eunuch. I chose this life of solitude mixed with a lot of joy and contentment living close to my Lord.
Matthew 19:12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were MADE eunuchs of men (mankind) and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
I'm sure you've read Romans 1:25-32. I don't think your heart is in that lifestyle anymore. You want to be free. And of course, Satan wants to sabotage your walk with the Lord. See, he's not in human form until he finds a willing body. God gave you Dominion, Genesis 1:26. Jesus gave you His Authority to command satan and all his demons to GET OUT AND GO INTO OUTER DARKNESS. They are all invisible Outlaw spirits.
ASK God to send an angel to guard your home. You rid your home of every single item demons might use as an invitation to return. Acts 19:19. You'll know which items must go. Burn the memories of sin. Even hard drives. New ones don't cost that much.
Furnish "your house (you)" with a deeper walk with the Holy Spirit, Christian music, listen to healing scriptures on YouTube.
Not knowing your Church you attend, I do tell friends who desire marriage, to occasionally visit another church. "Ms Right" may be there that day. Visiting is just that. In Gen.24, the servant is like the Holy Spirit. Abraham sends him to find Isaac a wife. See the principal? Ask Holy Spirit to Help you. Don't give up now. Always let hope live in you. Be alert to repeat attacks and bind and cast out again.
Matthew 3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Luke 9:35
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Mark 1:11
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mark 9:7
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Luke 3:22
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, AND a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Matthew 17:5
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

PS. I have these scriptures noted on the inside cover of my Bible.
Romans 1:24-32 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness,
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:"
I would like to attempt to refresh your question because it is All important.
To get a understanding of salvation we must recognize that we have come up short even when giving our best efforts.
We are sinners no matter who we attempt to compare ourselves with. And the wages of sin is death.
Romans 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hebrews 9:22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
OUR REDEMPTION.
Salvation is not getting away with sin "because we say we believe" Salvation is Christ to on the penalty of our sins and died for us, And those who truly has been regenerated was baptized into that death. and when Christ rose again they was baptized into his resurrection with newness of Everlasting life.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as IN Adam all die, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.
Now to attempt to answer your question.
We believe we are without hope apart from Christ, Christ took the penalty of our sins upon him and paid for them with his life. Then rose again the third day. We were IDENTIFIED/BAPTIZED into that death and resurrection by the Holyspirit. Romans 1:3-4.
Now fruit in our lives confirms our belief.
and we. If there is no fruit produced in our lives then our faith was in vain.
Because it's Christ spirit in you that performs.
Philippians 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Hopefully we can expand on this.
God bless.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Spirit) that WORKETH IN YOU BOTH to WILL (his will is made to be your will) and TO DO his good pleasure.
Did Esau have a choice, NO, the WORD had already been spoken (before the foundations of the world) before they were born. The older would serve the younger.
Did Judas have a choice, NO, the WORD was spoken before he was born that he would betray Jesus.
Does mankind have a choice to NOT BOW and CONFESS Jesus is Lord, NO, the WORDS have already been spoken. It is ONLY now a matter of everyone's APPOINTED TIME for the WORKS to be FULLFILLED.
One of God's rules in the Old Testament was that Israel WOULD NOT marry gentiles; yet it was God that made Samson want to marry a gentile woman, going against his own rules.
Judges 14:1-4 But his father and his mother KNEW NOT THAT IT WAS OF THE LORD.
He made EVERYTHING and EVERYONE for HIS PURPOSE.
What IS NOT OF FAITH (of Christ) is SIN.
Grace is totally the WORK of GOD. It has nothing to do with how good or bad a person is. Paul was KILLING GOD'S ELECT (as was Hitler), grace saved Paul; yet man screams Hitler will burn in Hell. Why does man appoint grace to just some people (mostly themselves), when God says he is no respector of persons.
Paul knew the WORKS were ALL OF GOD.
Colossians 1:29 Wherefore I also labour, striving according to HIS WORKING, which WORKETH in me mightly.
Jesus KNEW the Father was doing EVERYTHING in him, that is why he didn't sin.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin.....
I stand by what I wrote, but am unsure about your comment. I don't know what you mean by boxed in with no exit. And I don't know why you try to reduce the subject to 'God's work or man's work'. Some turn this into a false dichotomy and assume its one or the other, but scripture says do both. Paul already anticipated potential confusion over this topic in advance which is why he explained it thoroughly in the scriptures.
I would like to add to what Brother Jesse said.
There are some that believe and teach that when you are saved you can do what ever they want because you are saved by Love and grace. So they continue on in their sin. But the scripture says otherwise.
Romans 6:1-2. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
( Continue reading Romans 6:3-10. )
When we are born again Christians we have been baptized into the body of believers, "We all have been Identified with the death and resurrection of Christ.
Were no longer under complete control by the motions of the flesh
Romans 7:5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
This brings on a new nature and attitude towards sin. The Holyspirit convicts us and empowers us. Not to perfection but a pure heart. There should be evidence of fruit in your life and conviction against ALL sin. I would do a serious study in Romans Ch 6. Ch 7. and Ch 8.
God bless.
When a person makes a decision to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they must repent of their sinful lifestyle, meaning they must make a decision to change the direction of their life. If that person has truly received Christ, and is being led by His Spirit, they would no longer continue on in such a sinful state. So if a homosexual continues on in his sinful disgusting lifestyle, I would say that person does not have the Spirit of Christ in them, meaning that person is not saved, regardless of their claim of being a Christian. If the homosexual has no conviction in his heart that what he is doing is sinful in the eyes of the Lord, I would say that person does not have the Spirit of God in them! For those who say they have received Christ, or that they are a Christian (a Christ follower), the bible tells us that we will know them by their fruit. So if I see someone who says they have received Christ, and I know they are still involved in such a hideous act with no conviction nor willingness to stop and fully surrender to Christ, right away the "red flag" is going up. That to me does not demonstrate the fruit of God's Spirit working in that person's life and would tell me that that person is not being led by the Spirit at all, and that they have an illegitimate claim at being a true born again believer.
Quote: ....those who will be saved will be saved by grace. But most people won't be saved.....
Meditate on grace.
This is one of those truths that leaves us boxed in with no exit.
God's work or man's work.
No response necessary, the Spirit reveals.
GBU
( 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) ( Ephesians 2:5-9) ( Romans 3-5) and others in Romans - Philemon.
What we do, or fail to do, is in our Calling To "fellowship" With The LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( 1 Corinthians 1:9). This is for "rewards or lack thereof" At Judgment ( 1 Corinthians 3:7-15)
Be Encouraged, Exhorted, Enlightened, and Edified In HIS Precious Word!
God is the judge and knows our hearts in whether we are genuine or not. If we choose to follow Jesus He knows how serious we are about it- whether we're doing it for unpure motives or not. Everyone is a sinner, and those who will be saved will be saved by grace. But most people won't be saved and the Word doesn't say everyone who claims to be a Christian will be saved, either. So, I think God's definition of what a Christ follower may sometimes be a little different than what man assumes is a Christ follower. I know 'Christians' who actively participate in all kinds of sin, like homosexuality, fornication, theft, coveting, harming the body through drugs, drunkenness, etc. Many also feel they are 'saved' because that was the message they heard at church and feel they can commit unlimited sin and follow satan and still be saved, because someone told them that.
The reason I believe this is Matthew 7:21-23. It clearly gives an example of someone who believed in and followed Jesus, BUT the one who does the will of the father. So, I have a very different message than some who claim that you can 'do whatever you want'. Some even say that doing good is bad and evil. That sounds awfully familiar- as if its from the father of lies (satan) who loves convincing even Christians of the opposite. We are called to be good and do good and avoid sin. John 8:11 And I think anyone claiming to be Christian and willingly sinning is like slapping Jesus in the face and spitting on the cross. Some should wake up and be afraid of judgment of God. God bless...

I scribbled all the scripture references inside my Bible cover.
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:14
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:16
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, WOE is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
Galatians 1:11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Galatians 1:7
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
Romans 1:1
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Comment by Mishael: Don't you yet see that THE GOSPEL is the person of Jesus Christ?
He is the fulfillment of prophesies foretold by the prophets.
The Gospel we carry to unsaved people are: Jesus's virgin birth, Jesus's Sinless Life on Earth, Jesus's Crucifixion, Jesus's Resurrection.
If anyone thinks in their heart, that Jesus is a Religion, that people modified to fit their Religion__then you need to be born again as Jesus told Nicodemas. John 3.
On the Mount of Transfiguration, when Peter saw Jesus in his glorified person, the first thing he wanted to do was construct 3 Churches. That's Flesh! Even God spoke from a cloud and told Peter to stop it and Listen To Jesus I would say that is how a lot of people get themselves into a Box. I suggest we slowly read that passage.
The Gospel is meant to be CARRIED to the people. Did you know there is a demon that is named: Religious Spirit? Google that. What is its purpose?
We make up religion to keep the Gospel in a box. "BEAUTIFUL are the feet of those that carry the Good News." This is where I say, pause and think on these things...and pray.

Thank you for sharing this quote from Mike Allison. I am not sure who he is but I would like to just comment on what he is saying. I agree with him that there are billions who have not heard the salvation message. But I'm not sure if he's trying to put a guilt trip on believers because we are not out there trying to reach everyone with the gospel message? Maybe I'm just reading it wrong. I am all for evangelizing and reaching people with the gospel message, but only as the Lord leads us to do, not us doing it in our own human effort, which I don't believe the Lord blesses. ( Psalm 127:1).
What I'd like to share about those who have never heard the gospel of Jesus, is that in Romans 1:20, it says "For the invisible things of him (That is, of God), from the creation of the world (The time of creation up till now), the invisible things of God, and please notice the clarity, it says they are clearly seen. There's no confusion!
And there's a clause at the end of verse 20 that is an apposition to invisible things. Apposition means equal to. When it says for the invisible things of Him, I ask myself what does he mean by that? He says even his eternal power and Godhead. But then I see the conclusion that says that they are without excuse. Could "they" be the ones who have never heard the gospel message? I believe so.
The word excuse is the word APOLOGEA, where we get our word apologetics from. It is a legal term that means defense. So people have no defense whatsoever. What Romans 1:20 tells me is that not one single human being will stand before God and say "I didn't know!" Psalm 19:1-4 tells us that creation itself testifies to everyone born into this world that God exists.
I'm not against witnessing Christ. We should be praying for the Lord to lead us into those opportunities. But as far as reaching everyone, they've already been reached through creation that there is a God. And in the end, God has a plan to reach every single person on the earth!
I agree with sister Dianne. Ephesians 2:8. For by grace are ye saved ( through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:)
I would like to add a verse or two.
1 John 2:2. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation ""to every one that believeth;"" to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
I suggest getting an understanding of Romans 5:1-21. Romans 6:1-23.
and James 2:14-26.
God bless
