Subject: Once Save; Always Saved? |
Bible Note: "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have recieved the Knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left. But only a fearful expectation of judgement and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God."Heb. 10:26-27 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because[2] to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. 9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case--things that accompany salvation. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.Heb. 6:4-12 And how do we make our hope sure? Repentence is the point being left out in all these letters I am reading. Jesus came with grace and truth. John 1:17. The grace covers over our gazzion faults, but that doesn't take away our responsibility to repent, to obey, to live for God. That is the truth! That is why the Hebrew writer tells them to be diligent in the things they were doing! And by the way, we get our eternal life when Jesus comes on the last day! All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.Heb. 11:13-16 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. 40 God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect Heb. 11:39-40 Study this chapter in Heb. and you will see that faith is what saves them and that same faith saves us. We both receive the promise on the last day. "Together with us." So my encouragement to you is to live your life for God. Go after the things in your character that cause you to sin, and remember the amazing love our Father has for us so that when you do sin you can come before him with a heart of repentence and receive mercy! |
