1 | is there security of the believer | Rom 8:39 | New Creature | 68312 | ||
You said: "It’s all up to him, and he is able. I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him." I could say to 600 people; I am able to take you from New York to London, if you get aboard my ship, however if somewhere in between New York and London, one of you either fell over board, or jumped over-board and drowned, that would not reflect negatively upon my ability to have taken you all the way to London. I still would have been able to get you to London had you remained aboard my ship. The other 599 people remained in the ship and I was able to take them the full distance to their final destination.

2 | is there security of the believer | Rom 8:39 | Nobel Kam Aixen | 68318 | ||
I think what you have shown us is that you are somewhat limited in your abilities. God has no such limits. He is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. It must be said, however, that salvation is not like getting on a boat. The Lord requires repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. When we turn to him in faith he saves us, and the job is finished. Yes, there are other things required of us after that, but not for salvation. We love him because he first loved us. We serve him because we are saved. Let us, each of us, make sure we are. But we cannot save ourselves. We need him. |

Lets not read more into "He is able" than what is written "He is able" means exactly that. The secondary part that must be considered is: Are you willing? Or since becoming saved are you now a puppet, or robot, that is unable to still make choices? Blessings New Creature |

'Lets not read more into "He is able" than what is written "He is able" means exactly that. The secondary part that must be considered is: Are you willing?' Funny...I don't see the words "Are you willing?" in the text anywhere at all...who is the one reading beyond what the text says? :) You wrote: "Or since becoming saved are you now a puppet, or robot, that is unable to still make choices?" At no time are we puppets or robots, before or after salvation. The essential question is whether God's grace accomplishes its purposes (i.e. in making us willing) or not. Does the efficacy of God's work really come down to me? What a reason to boast that would be! --Joe! |
