Subject: Freeze-dried Salvation? |
Bible Note: ”Is salvation like a freeze-dried fruitcake, lasting indefinitely without spoilage or must those who seek for eternal life with God constantly discipline themselves to ensure they are faithful until death? If they must discipline themselves, how do they do that by belief? Is there an expectation that they will be disciplined miraculously or must conscious decisions be made to control their own behavior?” (Peter) Salvation (Christ our life) is an incorruptible seed! I believe incorruptible would mean no spoilage! (Col) Christ is our new life and he leads us by his Spirit and we learn through him, we live and move and have our being in him. God's had is not short that he cannot discipline us, is it? His alive and has the ability to speak and hear. He is a lot more power than us. He disciplines us as sons! Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Jesus Christ IS our salvation. Above statements are directly from scripture, if you have problems finding them I will find them for you if you need. Love, Tim |
