1 | Is perseverance certain? | Matt 7:21 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 187248 | ||
If perseverance is not certain, then it seems that salvation is not certain; that is, there is no assurance of salvation. | ||||||
2 | Is perseverance certain? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187257 | ||
If you meet the conditions, you can be assured that you will persevere. Salvation is a process, not an event. Initial repentence is an event, it is your spiritual birthday, when you become a new creature. | ||||||
3 | Salvation a process? | Matt 7:21 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 187265 | ||
1. But how do you know for certain you have met or will meet the conditions at the end of earthly life? 2. If salvation is a process, are you saying one is not completely or actually saved until the "process" is completed? Does this mean there is no assurance? |

1) Romans 2:5-16 For there is going to come a day of judgment when God, the just judge of all the world, will judge all people according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who persist in doing what is good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and practice evil deeds. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on sinning-for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good-for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. God will punish the Gentiles when they sin, even though they never had God's written law. And he will punish the Jews when they sin, for they do have the law. For it is not merely knowing the law that brings God's approval. Those who obey the law will be declared right in God's sight. Even when Gentiles, who do not have God's written law, instinctively follow what the law says, they show that in their hearts they know right from wrong. They demonstrate that God's law is written within them, for their own consciences either accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right. The day will surely come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everyone's secret life. This is my message. 2) Paul knew about himself and holds out the hope for other believers in 2nd Timothy 4:6-8 : As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return. |
