1 | Eternal Security is it possible? | 2 Tim 1:12 | Robert Nicholson | 54069 | ||
Eternal Security reflects God's ability to save us first of all and to keep us for eternity. Paul could say with a note of triumph: "I know whom I have believed" Paul does not cite his own personal faithfulness as the reason he feels secure; No! rather he focuses on "I have believed" A statement was made on another post "that only the faithful go to heaven" this suggesting that those who have believed could through their own unfaithfulness somehow be denied the eternal promise of the living Christ "I give unto them eternal life and they shall never Perish" John 10 Peter reminds us "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" ( 1 Peter 1:18-19) Redeemed ! how I love to proclaim it. Only those who are redeemed will be in heaven. We were sold under sin, we were sinners by birth, by practice and by choice. We could not free ourselves from sin except through the precious blood of Christ. The work was absolutely his; nothing I could do before I was saved or after I am saved could contribute in any way to the work which Christ accomplished on the cross. Three words from the cross from our saviour summerized it all "It is Finished!" A lamb without blemish would remind us of his purity when he came into this world. Without spot reminds of the life which he lived before his father and humankind, a perfect life with no sin. This was the one who paid the debt that was required to redeem us. He satisfied God by his sacrifice and when we place our faith in him we are forgiven and we are set free. Eternal security, does it exist? Absolutely it rests upon the work of Christ and his promises regarding those who will accept his work as the only way to be saved. He is the keeper of our souls. To suggest that we can lose such a gift is an insult to God himself. Fellow Christain rejoice that your sins are forgiven. Robert |

When you speak of eternal security, and think that once saved aways saved, you need to study a little more. Who had more security than the angels of God? 2Peter 2:4 tells us that God cast the angels out of heaven because they sinned. That tells me like Jesus said in Rev.2:10 we must be faithful until death. |

Also in 2 Peter 2:20 For if (after) they have escaped the pollutions of the world (through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ), they are again entangle therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been (better) for them (not) to have known the way of righteousness, than, (after) they have known it, to (turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them). Then in 2 Peter 3:11-17 you must read carefully, vs.11 says; what manner of persons ought ye to be? vs. 14 "be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. vs.17 "beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness". Now surely you can understand this next verse in Rev.3:5 Jesus said: He that (overcometh), the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and (I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels). If this verse don't make it clear to you then nothing will. You can lose it all with the stoke of his pin! 2 John 1:8,9,11. Matt 24:45-51,25:1-30,7:21-23. |

2 Peter 2:20. About whom is this verse speaking? Who are "they" in verse 20? Verse 20 is part of the verses that make up 2 Peter chapter 2. In v. 20, the word "they" is a pronoun. Every pronoun must have an antecedent (a noun to which it refers). To find the antecedent, you have to keep reading what comes before the antecedent until you find the noun. In this case, the antecedent of "they" (v. 20) is "false teachers" (v. 1). |

The false teachers had followers, vs.2,3. verse 20 saids they were once followers, and (they are again entangled), vs 21 "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to (turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. They turned from following Christ! | ||||||
