Difference in "should" and "shall"

May 2, 2010
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him
should
not perish, but have everlasting life.

"Wow what a revelation. God is saying here that true belief in his gift of Christ should; not shall, lead to everlasting life.

Way to many people believe they will be spared because they went before the altar once and said a prayer asking Jesus in their hearts and that is IT. This is not biblical and is no where in scripture.
Scripture does say......James 2:17-24 That faith without works in dead. For the devils also believe their is one God and do tremble. But does this make them righteous. No. Because they have no good fruit.

Matt. 7:16-20. 16:You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17. Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
20. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them...

"So again we should be saved because it is not God's will that any should perish, but we must be obedient to him always...."

I love you all and thanks for reading... Please feel free to comment and leave prayer request.
