1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | FTimA | 64411 | ||
Jude 1:3 "Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints." I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I have repented of my past life and have been "immersed" into the death of Christ for the remission of my sin. I now "contend earnestly for the faith" which according to Jude was "once for all handed down to the saints". Does this make me perfect? Of course not. But when I falter I have faith (1 John 1:9) that if I confess my sin and "earnestly" strive to repent of it, I will be forgiven. Luke 17:3,4 "Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him." Matthew 18:21 "Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" 22 Jesus *said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. If we are to do this for a repentant brother how much more will our Father in heaven do it for a repentant child? |

"If we are to do this for a repentant brother how much more will our Father in heaven do it for a repentant child?" And what if you fail to confess a sin? Even a small, tiny little itty-bitty one? --Joe! |

Give me an example? No sin is "small, tiny little itty-bitty" because all sin separates us from God. If I commit a sin and am ignorant of it, which is possible, how would God handle this? Maybe He would judge my heart and know that there was a lack of intent. Hebrews 9:7 says, "but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance". Verse 14 says, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Hebrews 9:15, "For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." I have an advocate in my Lord Jesus Christ and I trust that his blood will cover those sins I commit and repent of as well as those I may commit and am ignorant of. |

"I have an advocate in my Lord Jesus Christ and I trust that his blood will cover those sins I commit and repent of as well as those I may commit and am ignorant of." Sounds an awful lot like what I believe. Except I believe that his blood HAS COVERED those sins. "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."--Colossians 1:13-14 He HAS RESCUED us and I HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED. The action is done because I have redemption in Jesus Christ. He HAS BOUGHT me with his own blood (not put down a down payment), and as He said on the Cross, "It is finished." --Joe! |
