1 | What you are saved from? | John 6:37 | Bill Mc | 15144 | ||
Dear Sister D, 'Once saved, always saved' is NOT dependant upon your ability to live to God. 'Once saved, always saved' reflects a correct understanding of what salvation is and what it is not. If we could 'live to God', we would not need a Savior. We cannot live APART from God. He ALONE is the source of life. The repentant heart that God seeks is concerning what you believe about His Son. Jesus said that the world's sin is that they do not believe in Him. That is the only sin that remains 'unforgiven' and that must be repented of. Christ has forgiven the believer ALL of their sins. The cross was an ETERNAL act of God. It took away ALL sins - past, present, and future. If all of your sins are NOT forgiven, then how are you going to get more forgiveness? Without the shedding of blood, there is NO forgiveness. Are you going to ask Christ to come and die for you so that you can have more forgiveness? God NEVER calls you to live for Him. He calls you to come to Christ and find LIFE. Then He calls us to live out His life in our bodies - Romans 12:1. Please read my other post, dear one. Do you understand what you are "saved" from? In Christ, Bill Mc |

Hello, Bill Mc, Sister D. and Steve, Just want to make a coment about 'once you saved, always saved'...A little story first: I dont know about all Catholics, but when I was a practicing catholic, and I commited a sin, I would just pray that God will let me make it to the next Sunday service,so I can confess my sin to the prist. I would recieved from him what was to be my penance for those sins, (wish usually was around 5 holy maries and 2 of the Lord's Prayer. The amount would be dependant on the severity of the sin.) After that I would go to my pew and recite my penance. By the time I was finished I was a happy camper. "Happy" until I did or said something stupid again, wish was not hard considering there were 9 sibbling living together in my house. This Catholic rites may sounds rediculous to those who cant relate to them. But they were my reality at the time. Until Christ saved ME from ME and MY SINS. If, after you have recieved the work of the cross, there is a posibility of hell for you, wish sin is going to be the one to do you in? Murder or gossip. They are both sin in the eyes of a Holy God. Right! We are not to be sin counscious, even though we can still sin. I cannot LOOSE my salvation because I didnt FIND my salvation. Christ found me. I was lost. Not HIM. He warn us not to think more highly of our self more than we out to. I am so glad my rightiousness is not dependant on me anymore!!!. That I can come boldly to the throne of grace and I WILL find mercy in the time of need. Glory to God! God Bless You. In His Grip, Amiga |
