“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”
Jeremiah 13:23 KJV
It is futile for the wretched one who is captive to the power of sin, to do good. "The good that I would, I do not; the evil that I would not, that I do." Until the grace of God that brings salvation saves us "with the washing of regeneration and the renewing by the Holy Ghost", we are found to be most miserable and Christ is not raised in us. Thus, those who say they know God while walking in darkness are liars. And all liars shall have their portion with the hypocrites,"where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched".
Yes, with God all things are possible. And he is the Savior of all men, especially to those who believe. ("Be not faithless, but believing".)So it is by faith we believe. "My Lord and my God!"This is faith in the Blood of Christ shed for the forgiveness and remission of sins, given by the grace of God that brings salvation to as many as have received Him. But not all men have faith. And without faith it is impossible to please God.
EKKLESIA 206
