2 | is there security of the believer | Rom 8:39 | Nobel Kam Aixen | 68207 | ||
Please do not allow the plain teaching that the believer is eternally secure to be cast in doubt by an unclear statement about a servant in a parable. We do know that Jesus has promised eternal life to those who believe. This is based on the fact that they have repented of sin and does not yet depend on their future faithfulness and service. We do not know what the earthly master in Matthew 25 meant to be done to his unprifitable servant. But it was an earthly consequence. He as a man did not have the power to cast anyone into hell. And our Lord will not cast his servant out of heaven even if his works on earth have been null or useless. They may be burned up but, he will be saved from the fire. |

3 | Are you a true believer? | Rom 8:39 | Pastor Glenn | 68220 | ||
Romans 8 is the wrong chapter to consider this question. "Is there security of the believer?" is secondary to the question of "Are you a true believer?". So maybe the question should be: "Is there security of the TRUE believer?" There are many that SAY they believe, but do they believe "in their heart"? Romans 10 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Nowhere in the bible does it teach salvation for someone that is stuck in sin. If they truly love Jesus there will be evidence of a changed life. He said those that love Him will keep His comandments. Yes, King David slipped into sin, but when the temptation came again years later he showed his spiritual maturity: 1 Kings 1 1 Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm. 2Therefore his servants said to him, "Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her stand before the king, and let her care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm." 3So they sought for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4The young woman was very lovely; and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her. Those that are stuck in sin should doubt their "true salvation" and repent. They do not need to hate themselves, but they should hate their sin. Then God can change them from the inside out. See Psalms 51. Pastor Glenn |

4 | Are you a true believer? | Rom 8:39 | Nobel Kam Aixen | 68226 | ||
So what was there in the person's question, short as it was, to suggest that they were not a true believer or that they were stuck in sin? The person simply presented two passages, one saying that nothing can separate us from the love of God and another saying that a servant was cast into outer darkness. | ||||||

Exactly, The question was incomplete. The question is usually incomplete when we sin also: "I have sinned, so did I just loose my salvation?" The first question should be: 1. Was I saved to begin with? 2. If yes, then was I walking in the spirit or in the flesh? 3. If I was walking in the flesh, then I am carnal. So how do I get a closer walk with the Lord? Have I been filled with the Spirit? We must be willing to do whatever it takes to get free from the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life: Matthew 5 Adultery in the Heart 27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old,[3] "You shall not commit adultery.'[4] 28But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. Matthew 18:8"If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. 9And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire. |
