Subject: What does "perish" mean? |
Bible Note: Harold Brown: ETERNAL SECURITY, Part 2. Premise: All the redeemed (those who have been regenerated, born-again) once saved are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. Now let's examine what the Bible teaches..... John 5:24: "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."..... John 6:37: "All that the Father gives me will come to me and whoever comes to me I will never cast out."..... John 10:27-30: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.".....Romans 5:9,10: "Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life."..... Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."..... Romans 8:33: "Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies"..... Romans 8:38,39: "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."..... 1 Cor.1:8: "(Jesus Christ) will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ"..... Eph. 4:30: "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." Heb.7:25: "He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them."..... "Heb.13:5b: "I will never leave you nor forsake you." And 1 Peter 1:3-5 speaks of "an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being GUARDED through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.".... And, finally, from Jude's doxology (24,25): "Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." --Hank |
