salvation cannot be purchased

.. to give him silver ..

( 354 ) Lu 9:3 And he said unto them , Take nothing for your journey , neither staves , nor scrip , neither bread , neither money "keceph"; neither have two coats apiece .

.. neither bread neither silver .. What faith to journey with Jesus, listening to Him, and take nothing with us for our journey...

( 355 ) Lu 19:15 And it came to pass , that when he was returned , having received the kingdom , then he commanded these servants to be called unto him , to whom he had given the money "keceph", that he might know how much every man had gained by trading . {money: Gr. silver}

.. to whom he had given the silver ..

.. not thou my silver ..

( 357 ) Lu 22:5 And they were glad , and covenanted to give him money "keceph".

.. to give him silver ..

( 358 ) Ac 3:6 Then Peter said , Silver "keceph" and gold have I none ; but such as I have give I thee : In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk .

.. Ac 3:6 Then Peter said silver .. Money peter did not have, but He did have Jesus' power..

( 359 ) Ac 7:16 And were carried over into Sychem , and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money "keceph" of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem .

.. for a sum of silver ..

( 360 ) Ac 8:20 But Peter said unto him , Thy money "keceph" perish with thee , because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money .

.. unto him Thy silver ..

You cannot purchase God's grace, power or love with money God's mercy cannot be purchased with human symbols of human power.. Money can become a symbol of gratitude for salvation. Money can be used to express gratitude for forgiveness to ignorant sinning in your life. But money itself does not guarantee salvation...only if you remain faithful to Jesus does, bearing His fruit.

This is difficult to explain, when one is loving Jesus and His salvation out of obligation with money for penitence...

Contrast with the one loving Jesus because the person loves Jesus, out of humble gratitude for Jesus power flowing through Him.

I ask Jesus all the time in my conscience, how can I know you are with me ? By your fruit ye shall know Me, He says.

You see if your money you pay to Jesus is not reducing your sinning or making you feel more humble, mournful and meek; than you can be sure that such religion is Baal, a heart effort that flows to nothing. Jesus relgion is the heart effort of Jesus flowing through you, giving you all the good things of Jesus to you. Can you see the difference here. One is "self powered" the other is "Jesus powered".
