Bible Note: Thank you BradK for your post, in which you said. "The statement would seem to indicate that salvation is not entirely of God, and that we have some active part. God has done it all, we simply believe by faith in this finished work". We are in fact in complete agreement, because the verses I quoted from Romans were meant to explain just what was intended by my use of the expression, "that which you do".. Sorry if I did not make myself clear. Regarding, "eternal security", I can see that the form of words I used could be misunderstood, and I have, therefore, modified them as below. Further to my previous post, and to put the subject into perspective, I would like to add the following. "Salvation is dependant on two things, firstly that which God has done, and secondly that which you do as a result of what God has done. What God has done will never be undone, whereas some say that what you do can be undone.. You can either do what the Scripture verses below tell you to do, or not as the case may be. Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"[fn5] (that is, the word of faith which we preach): Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."[fn6] If you do believe, and confess, then you will not only be saved, but you will also be eternally secure, and will remain in this condition, unless of course as some would say, you at some future time, "do not believe", then you will be unsaved, and not eternally secure", however, I do not believe that this is at all possible. What I cannot understand is why some one who has been saved, who's eyes have been opened, who's sins are forgiven, who knows that they are on there way to Heaven, should wish to throw it all away, return to an unsaved state and go to Hell instead. I have been a believer for many years, and so far have had no desire to do so? parpar |
