Following the commandants might make us good people, but only through God's Son can we be made Holy. More on holiness later.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781425564494863326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913311687736109504.post-81776418601958040182010-09-05T06:59:36.282-07:002010-09-05T06:59:36.282-07:00The only thing I would add Brian is that Jesus is ...The only thing I would add Brian is that Jesus is God, so He is also good. Yes, for a moment he took on our sins and God turned his face away (fathom that one for a minute to not be 'yourself' somehow), but I would say that at the time Jesus spoke to the rich young ruler he could still be classified as good along with God, yes? It is possible that Jesus' saying, "no one is good, but God alone" was trying to get the rich young ruler to understand who He was. In other words, if he knew the rich young ruler didn't "believe" he was the Son of God, then he was essentially saying, "Why are you coming to me when you know only God can answer your question?" Anyway, just some thoughts to add....take them or leave them. Or better yet, hope it spurs you on to more study and helps give you hope! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062109148055436125noreply@blogger.com
