Then all is well with Christians. Nothing to worry about. Or is there?
God sent Jesus to save the world, NOT to judge it.
John 3:17
Maybe?

Everyone that believes, among other things.
What if the sacrifice was bigger than the credit we are giving?
Besides, who is really correct in their view anyway.....are you willing to bet your eternity on your interpretation?

However, Christians should be concerned about their followership and discipleship.

Christ died for us, I believe that.
Christ promised to give us His Spirit, I believe that.
The Holy Spirit will teach us about God and direct our steps, helping us to avoid sin, I believe that.
If I follow my baser fleshly desires I will with out a doubt be serving sin instead of God, I believe that.
I believe Jesus died so I could be free, and live in Him.
I believe that those that reject this great salvation will do just that, reject it.
I believe God's love for us is so great, that He made a way for sinners, those of us who
have guilt before God, to be saved by turning to Jesus Christ, who is our high priest sitting
at the right hand of God the Father.

Originally posted by chaney3Thats cherrypicking. It must be those who believe in Christ as the same passage states

Belief with your mouth and talking about Christ is worthless.
Belief with the heart means that you act on the teachings of Christ.
You must live the life Christ commanded.
Some life that life by instinct and by following their conscience.

Some take that to mean all those who profess their faith - they are in Christ.
I take that to mean that those who obey Christ.
