    Does sincerity play a role in our salvation?

    The body of Christ consists of believers having faith in Christ Jesus, who are on one

    accord in mind, spirit, and truth as it is written in scripture. (Philippians 2:1-2)

    As Christians we are required to prove all things as God refers to it in scripture.(1 Thessalonians 5:21) The death of Jesus represents his grace which is given to those

    who are sincere in keeping his commandments. Jesus tells us that we must be born again

    of the spirit which is the start of becoming sanctified through his word. Through thesanctification of his word (living by Gods commandments) are we then made holy

    before God to dwelling amongst us. We receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit by God

    who dwells in clean vessels of righteousness (your mind is spirit). Isaiah 66:20, Eph 4:23Mark 1:8

    2 Corinthians 8:7-8 "Sincere love for God"

    Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in alldiligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. I speak not by

    commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of

    your love.

    Colossians 1:5-75For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of

    the truth of the gospel; 6Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth

    forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God

    in truth:

    1 John 5:2-3

    By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his

    commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and hiscommandments are not grievous.

    2 Corinthians 8:11-12Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may

    be a performance also out of that which ye have. For if there be first a willing mind, it is

    accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

    2 Corinthians 1:13-14

    13For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust

    ye shall acknowledge even to the end;14As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are

    our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.

    2 Corinthians 1:10-1210Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will

    yet deliver us; 11Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed uponus by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 12For our

    rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity,

    not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the

    world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
