Is this accurate? What is the cross that we carry? Or do we have a cross to carry?

I hate this one…

The cross we carry is two things.

One each must carry their own death and in that realize that being dead we need the Life of Christ to live… so on a small level this is true…

BUT!!!!
The other cross we carry is that we partake in Christ’s sufferings and our salvation is perfected… yet to fail in our sufferings does not mean we lose salvation, for that means it then becomes works salvation and not by Grace.

Love ya

I love you. I’m so blessed to have you as my husband. I love it that you study and think through why you believe what you believe. And, more importantly, that you let the Holy Spirit guide you and teach you His truth. I’m so proud to be your wife.

TES
All I can say is I have a great wife!
be blessed,
iggy

Rick,

We both work at the same place... yet I seem to get the night shift a lot.... and she works days.

But, the point is that unlike many couples, we are communicating! LOL!
