1 | The measure of death? | 1 Tim 4:1 | 10ECPreacher | 33474 | ||
Greetings, charis! Your reasoning is very sound. I, too, cannot find in the Scripture a clear-cut and concise way of knowing exactly and precisely when a person has lost his or her salvation. You are exactly right--we do know the measure of life, but only God knows the measure of death. I think of it like the "line" that separates day from night. Obviously, at the two extremes may be found light and darkness; yet, between them lies a pretty big area of gray--in varying intensities (some call this the "twilight zone"). Who but God really knows at what point the one that wanders from the light into the twilight zone actually crosses over into gross darkness? All I can say assertively is what the Scripture says. "Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?" [Hebrews 10:28-29 NASB] Only God knows how long he will allow someone to "insult grace" before visiting them with judgment. May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Tim D.
