Luke 6:46-49<\/a><\/p>\nCompare Matthew 7:21-27<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I\u2019ve mentioned before, one would be hard-pressed \u2014 frankly, I think it an impossible task \u2014 to construct an argument for the doctrine of salvation by grace alone, without works, from the four New Testament gospels. \u00a0And this comment from Jesus, whether in its Lukan or its Matthean form, is clearly\u00a0one of the gospel teachings that advocates of such a doctrine would need to overcome.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m quite confident that they have their arguments, but it\u2019s difficult to see how those arguments could be successful in overcoming what seems to be the Lord\u2019s clear intent.<\/p>\n
