21 | Is perseverance certain? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187049 | ||
"The trouble with living sacrifices is that they tend to crawl off the alter", I once heard from a pastor. Bottom line: Christ did it all for you. Heb 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. You just need to keep your relationship with your Father who loves you dearly. Trust and obey. |

22 | Experience assures salvation? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187050 | ||
Too much going on in the head. Take that mind captive to Christ and trust in Him. Romans 10:8-10 "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. |

24 | What happens to Christians that die 2day | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187061 | ||
According to 1 Thess 5:23 the nature of man is spirit, soul, and body. I quote from THE SPIRITUAL MAN by Watchman Nee: The body is the "world-consciousness," the soul is the "self-consciousness," and the spirit is the "God-consciousness." There are five organs in the body which afford man the five senses. This physical body enables man to communicate with the physical world. This is why it is called the "world- consciousness." The soul comprises that part in man known as the intellect, which makes man's existence possible. The part of love generates affections toward other human beings or objects. Affections originate from the senses. All these are parts of man himself; they form the personality of man. Hence, they are called the "self-consciousness." The spirit is the part with which man communicates with God. With this part man worships God, serves Him, and understands his relationship with God. Hence, it is called "God-consciousness." Just as God dwells in the spirit, the self dwells in the soul, and the senses dwell in the body. The soul is the meeting point; here the spirit and the body join. Man communicates with God's Spirit and the spiritual realm through the spirit and receives and expresses power and life in the spiritual realm through this spirit. He communicates with the outside world of senses through the body; the world and the body interact with one another. The soul lies in between these two worlds and belongs to these two worlds. On the one hand, it communicates with the spiritual realm through the spirit, and on the other hand, it communicates with the physical world through the body. The soul has the power of self-determination; it can make decisions concerning the things related to it in the environment and can choose or reject them. It is impossible for the spirit to control the body directly; it requires a medium. This medium is the soul, which was produced when the spirit touched the body. The soul is in between the spirit and the body; it binds the spirit and the body together as one. The spirit can rule over the body through the soul and subject it under God's power. The body can also induce the spirit through the soul to love the world. The soul is the seat of personality; man's will, intellect, and emotion all lie in the soul. The spirit is the part with which man communicates with the spiritual realm. The body is the part with which man communicates with the physical realm. The soul is in the middle of these two parts. It exercises its judgment to determine if the spiritual realm is to rule or if the physical realm is to rule. Sometimes the soul rules through its intellect and senses; when that happens, the psychological world rules. Unless the soul yields its rule to the spirit, the spirit cannot rule. Hence, the soul has to authorize the spirit to rule before the latter can rule over the soul and the whole body. The reason for this is that the soul is the origin of man's personality. The soul is the master of a person because man's will is part of the soul. When the spirit controls the whole being, it is because the soul has yielded itself and has taken a lower position. If the soul rebels, the spirit will not have the power to control it. This is the meaning of "free will" in man. Man has the absolute right to make his own decisions. He is not a machine which turns according to God's will. He has his own faculty of deliberation. He can choose to obey God's will, and he can choose to oppose God's will and to follow the devil's will. According to God's arrangement, the spirit should be the highest part and should control the whole being. Yet the main part of man's personality, the will, is of the soul. Man's will (soul) has the power to choose to let the spirit rule, to let the body rule, or to let the self rule. Because the soul is so powerful, the Bible calls it "a living soul." |

25 | Christians? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187062 | ||
Without the grace of God, none would be saved. It is our faith in His Provision that saves us. Not of works, none can boast. Salvation comes after repentance, it is a process, not an event. |

27 | saved | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187064 | ||
Yes. You are saved from Sin. (sin nature) By being baptised symbolically, you place your old man into the grave with Christ's burial, and rise up a new creation with Him in His resurrection. You are free to grow spiritually without the shackles of sin to bind you, but you must feed the new life by prayer, reading the word, and fellowship with other believers to keep that new life alive and growing. |

2nd Timothy 2:11-13 This is a true saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him. If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us. If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. God Bless you as you contemplate the relevance... |

Sounds good. We who live post-resurrection have better promises, truly. Our works reflect the grace that was applied by our faith in God. But obedience is still a condition of forgiveness. (Matthew 18:23-35) | ||||||
35 | Christians? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187176 | ||
'God wants all the credit.' He has all the credit. We still have the freewill. Listen to the spirit, obey in the soul, and you will not reap corruption in the flesh.

36 | Christians? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187177 | ||
Following up with Galatians 2:21 I am not one of those who treats the grace of God as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there was no need for Christ to die. and Romans 8:1-4 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses could not save us, because of our sinful nature. But God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the requirement of the law would be fully accomplished for us who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit. [obedience to the Spirit] |

38 | "If"? | Matt 7:21 | Aslans_Friend | 187255 | ||
Of course salvation is conditional. Your assurance is in your relationship with your Father. You are assured of your Father's love regardless of your performance. However, there is a warning in Hebrews. Have you entirely forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, his children? He said, "My child, don't ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don't be discouraged when he corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes those he accepts as his children. As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who was never disciplined? If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children after all. Since we respect our earthly fathers who disciplined us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the discipline of our heavenly Father and live forever? Hebrews 12:5-9 Fear of the future is not godly, fear is the opposite of faith. Fear involves punishment, faith appropriates forgiveness through the provision of Christ. |

If you meet the conditions, you can be assured that you will persevere. Salvation is a process, not an event. Initial repentence is an event, it is your spiritual birthday, when you become a new creature. | ||||||

You parents-if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him. Matthew 7:9-11 | ||||||
