		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can a person be saved without keeping the Ten Commandments?</strong></p>
<p><strong>The answer is yes.</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1970" title="choose_path-sm" src="http://darrellbaudoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/choose_path-sm.jpg" alt="Choose you this day whom ye will serve" width="200" height="150" />Of course, there are going to be many people saved, and no one is saved by keeping any law. We are saved by grace alone.<br />
However, at the same time, nobody will be saved who willingly disobeys. <strong>The Bible says</strong>, &#8220;If we continue to sin willfully after we know the truth, then there is no sacrifice for sins&#8221; (Hebrew 10:26). So at that point it is open rebellion against God. And how can God accept that into heaven?</p>
<p>In Mark chapter 10 Jesus said to the rich young  ruler, ‘Come and follow me.’ And He actually asked him to be an  Apostle.  No one will ever know what the history would have ever been but  God’s plan for that young man was to  be a follower.  And he went away.  He chose not to because he loved his  money more.</p>
<p><strong>So we can choose to follow the  Lord.  We can choose not to follow Him.</strong> I believe we have a choice.  Now because God knows everything, some people  think that He’s making it happen; but just because someone knows  something doesn’t mean that they’re forcing people to make choices.  God  gives us the freedom to choose.  He may know what we’re going to do, but  that doesn’t mean He’s making it happen.</p>
<p><strong>We couldn&#8217;t choose to love God</strong> if  He had pre-programed us and made us love Him.  That’s not love. God’s plan for everybody is to  be saved.  1 Timothy 2:4 says God who will have all  men to be saved. And then God says in 2 Peter  chapter 3 He’s not willing that any should perish.  So that’s God’s  perfect Will; but many will perish because they don’t choose.</p>
<p><strong>Remember</strong> that many are called but few are chosen. I believe many are called but few will choose to respond, and so we all have freedom of choice.   That’s why Jesus invites everybody in The Great Invitation: whosoever  will, let him come.  Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden.   And not all will choose.  Judas chose to turn his back on Jesus.  Jesus  knew what Judas would do, but He didn’t make him do it.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
