Country Girl, I know your posting time is limited but I was wondering how you explain Ephesians 1:13-14. "(Eph 1:13) In Him you also trusted, after you heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, (Eph 1:14) who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory." These verses say that, when we are saved the Holy Spirit (who was promised to come) has come to dwell within us. This indwelling of the Holy Spirit is God's seal upon us, signifying that we are His. This same Holy Spirit within us GUARANTEES our inheritance. Do you read it some other way? Another verse I am curious about is John 6:44, which says: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." These are the words of Jesus Christ and they are saying that those who come to Him will be raised by Him AT THE LAST DAY. In the surrounding verses I find nothing about exceptions. It seems that if there were exceptions it would have been written, "I will raise him up at the last day UNLESS..." What is your interpretation of this verse? Thank you for any reply you may be able to give. In Him, Karen |

Since we know the Bible to be absolutely complete and true, we have to think of ways that these kinds of passages compliment one another. In my mind, without a whole lot time to study the matter, I think back to the verses on God's Grace. You see, as long as we're giving God our very best then His Grace covers us, just in case we die suddenly we're good to go. I'm convined it's after a significant period of neglect of our precious relationship with God, that we christians jepordize our salvation. We must see ourselves in constant (at least daily) need of prayer and repentance to our Lord for the sins of yesterday and the sins we might commit or the good deeds that we ommit from our lives in the day ahead of us. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
