1 | Do you keep salvation? | John 10:28 | FlintyJoe | 207527 | ||
Once Jesus gives someone everlasting life in heaven, no one will be able to take it away from them. When will this occur? It happens after death, when one will “put on” immortality. 1 Cor 15:54-57 states: When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. If a Christian fails to continue following Christ after his dedication and baptism, by serving the God Jesus faithfully served until his death, he will have no one to blame but himself. Christ will not abandon us, but we may abandon him and his Father. God made a covenant with the nation of Israel, but they broke it and their nation was cast off. God has not changed so that “he deals with us differently than he did back in the Old Testament.” “I the LORD do not change.” (Mal 3:6; see also James 1:17) “To the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus, called to be holy ones” the apostle Paul wrote: “Now these things went on befalling them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have arrived. Consequently let him that thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall.” (1 Cor 1:2; 10:11-12) “He who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Matt 24:13) This text does “apply to today.” That principle has always applied. |

2 | Pure joy in Heaven? | Rev 21:4 | FlintyJoe | 207431 | ||
Verse 3 states: "Now God makes his home with people. He will live with them." Many mistakenly read this as if it states that man makes his home with God and now live with him. This prophecy is the completion of God's purpose for the earth. Verse 2 pictures 'the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.' In this way, thru Christ and his bride, it will be "as if" God is making his home with us. "In that way, God will be all in all." (1 Cor 15:28) | ||||||
3 | will souls be free of their problrems | Rev 21:4 | FlintyJoe | 207430 | ||
Meditate on the account of Lazarus in John chapter 11. Jesus delayed going to his sick friend long enough for his family and friends to watch him suffer and die and then, to mourn. But notice how they reacted when he was resurrected from the dead. They were not upset with Jesus any longer, but were beside themselves over this miracle. This is a mini-example of what we can look forward to in the future. When God's tent resides with mankind, any memories of this old world will be overwhelmed by what God will bring about. | ||||||
4 | least in kingdom greater than John | Matt 11:11 | FlintyJoe | 207381 | ||
That's an excellent question that must be answered in harmony with the rest of Scripture. Read John 3:5 and notice who only can enter into the kingdom of God. Even assuming John was baptized in water, he was not baptized in holy spirit as Acts 1:5 clearly indicates. Holy spirit as Jesus stated would arrive at Pentecost. I hope this helps. |
