How do you reconcile this with the plain language in Ephesians 1 and Romans 8?


In pari materia, I find them ambiguous and subject to various interpretations.

Ephesians 1 indicates we all die in sin and are redeemed by the sacrifice (implicitly if we die in a state of grace) - "Grace" by definition means accepting of the gift/sacrifice of Christ in a classic, Christian (at least Protestant) meaning.

On the other hand, Romans seems more strict in the salvation requirements, without being much more specific than we saw in Ephesians.

Is that not impossible because we know that Scripture is absolutely clear? Perspicuity Doctrine.
