The rescue responsibility rests with the believer who is there. There's nothing random about where we work or where we live or recreate or go to school. You've been divinely positioned to be God's designated "lifeguard" for your stretch of beach. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/you-can-t-make-it-go-away-6333 2011-04-21T09:58:54-05:00 If you're hoping to pay off sin with some good things you do, and you think that will work at your appointment with God, it's not going to work. The payment has already been made. The only question God will ask you is not, "What did you do with church?"

It is a check and balance system to protect us from harm from ourselves and others. We do this by being open to what we are thinking and doing so we can receive encouragement and reproof, when needed. http://faithfacts.org/search-for-truth/questions-of-christians/what-about-people-who-have-never-heard-of-christ 2008-04-27T15:46:05-05:00 The Bible makes it clear that through nature and conscience each person has some knowledge about God and sin for which he is accountable. Look at how we are confident that God will not hold anyone accountable for any knowledge he did not receive and yet see how Christ is the only way to salvation.
