1 | What is eternal life? What is saved? | John 6:37 | Bill Mc | 15180 | ||
Dear Sister D, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I agree with most of what you say in your prior post. What I don't agree with is that you do not believe in the eternal life that Christ offers us. You believe in a 'temporal' life - only good until you sin again - though you may not use those exact words. You don't believe that eternal life is eternal. In your view, it can be lost, or walked away from. That makes it temporal. And that makes your salvation dependant upon you and your actions instead of upon Christ and His actions. Though God makes it clear that it is eternal life, and that the Holy Spirit lives in us forever - 2 John 1:2, you don't accept that. Even though the Word of God says that we have been made alive in Christ, you think that we can still 'die in our sins.' You don't truly believe that when Jesus said, "It is finished," that He meant it. That, dear sister, is your choice. You'd do well, dear one, to choose to have faith in what God has done and said. Working out our salvation is 'living out' what God has already done for us. You seem to feel that salvation is 'not sinning.' You seem to imply then that one is never truly sure of being saved until they physically die. That's too bad, Sister D. 1 John 5:13 says that John wrote about eternal life so that we would KNOW (present tense) that we HAVE (posess) eternal life. What church I attend is irrelevant. I belong to the body of Christ, the church made up of born again believers throughout the world and the ages. Where I chose to attend has no bearing whatsoever to my identity in Christ. I am a child of God because He has shown grace to me and caused me to be born again by His Spirit. Go in grace. In Him, Bill Mc |
