A lordship salvation advocate asked me if I desire to obey Jesus. The problem is that if I did not he would count me a lost sinner. The problem is that his sentiments are not sound nor are they biblical. First of all the law punishes and condemns all for lack of perfect conformity to it. Even our best works are nothing short of sin and a defilement of God's glory. Second, the Bible never says if you at least desire to do x then you are hereby saved. No the Bible when it comes to salvation takes us out of the mix. Either a sinner believes the gospel of Christ alone as truth or he does not.
