No. If that were true, why would we be warned against temptations? | ||||||

Your concern for there to be a demand on us to live continually growing in santification is good, but the question is not asking if we earn salvation or even oversee our "qualifications" to go to heaven. Can you see that there is more demand that we live for God if we are eternally secure? |

More on the common -- and very important -- question of those who beleive once saved always saved don't have the same weight of demand to live holy before God. Please allow me to use an analagous question; Don't you think that in a marriage the reasons we modify our behaviour are weightier for positive reasons rather than negative ones? I contend that we are far more apt to grow our marriages if we are wanting to please our spouses, than if we are only worried about divorce or retribution. We will make far greater changes for love and sacrifice and consistency than we will to merely not lose the arrangement. Salvation is like that as well. Once saved always saved is the most demanding position for growth in holiness. |
