A necessary result I belive so, Our Lord has promised a crown of life to "those who love him" James 1:12

He has commanded us to love in to many places to list, (keeping in mind we have been told not to love certian things sin, the world, ect, but I trust this is not the matter at hand) I mean the thought of a nonliving Christian dosn't compute in my mind, sounds like an oxymoron to me

But necessary for salvation, well, I am The Monergist <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
