Bible Note: Brother Johnny: I apologize for not getting back sooner. I will look at the scriptures which you provided me with on your last post at get back to you tomorrow morning if the Lord will. Just a few thoughts on eternal security. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" When we trust Christ we are changed from within and given new life in him. Our new nature in him desires to please him and live for him. However, we still have the old nature which would try to draw us away from our purpose in Christ. This is a daily war which the believer encounters every day. However, when we are born again we are placed as sons in the family of God. We may fail him through coldness of heart and sin and yet we remain a son. Sometimes we confuse the position which we have been brought into by Christ with discipleship. I will be back Peace in his Name Rober |
