Subject: Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 |
Bible Note: Romans 8:39 says that no one is able to force you to your saved state. Heb 10:26 Leaves open the option for a person to change his/her own mind. That is one can through his/her actions lose saved state. Angels were not spared if they sinned. If one is saved, he is no more than restored. Being restored does not mean free will no longer applies. It was never true that one could not rebel against God. Angels who have not fallen in the past can still choose to do so. Man fell from grace in the beginning. There was a way made for us to be restored. Being restored does not mean anyhting goes from that time on without a possibility of falling from grace again. If this happens it says in Hebrews we cannot be restored a second time. Simply stated No one else can destroy our restored state of grace, but we have the free will to cancel the restored state by our own actions. take care |
