1 | Can salvation be lost? | Jude 1:5 | knucklehead | 123930 | ||
Brad: We don't believe in luck. (Isaiah 65:11) But I know we agree that as long as God is for us, no one and nothing can be against us. (Rom 8:31) "For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, if it is hard for the righteous TO BE saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and CONTINUE to do good."(1 Peter 4:17) Take care. |

Greetings Knucklehead! You cite 1 Peter 4:17, but you seem to be drawing a false inference from it. 1 Pet. 4:17 does not say, 'Continue doing good so that you will be saved!' Rather, it speaks to those who are suffering for their faith and they are commanded to commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good'. Why? Because, it is God's will that they suffer for their faith and respond to it with good works that they might be witnesses to those persecuting them. Nothing in this passage speaks of doing good to earn salvation. The 'hard' doesn't refer to the difficulty of 'keeping' salvation, but to the difficulty of 'living' it out in a sinful world that hates us because of our faith. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: Rev 3:21,22: "To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." All of Jesus' words to the seven congregations in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 are enlightening. He's not messing around. Concerned. |
