and forward on to all that ever will be. It was the only plan from the foundation of the world. Repentance as widely viewed is not always applicable ...take the event of the eunic who was only reading the old scripture when Philip encountered him. He wasn't in the middle of feeling remorseful ...he was curious ...also Silas was desiring to meet Paul to learn of the gospel and his whole family believed it. Not every conversion requires repentance as most know it. Repentance can mean simply a change of mind and heart upon being given the truth of the gospel. There is no balance between law and grace. It's by grace thru faith you are saved and not by anything you do. As soon as you start to DO you will be ensnared again by that tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If salvation depends on what we do then we are all lost. I'll give a million dollars to anyone who can DO anything to stay saved. A free gift is free or it isn't a gift.
