Bible Note: Dear Emmaus, We have had discussions in the past and I had thought of you as one that understood the Scriptures, but by your statements, "But can we know before we reach the end of the race whether we are running in vain? Not with absolute certainty. Not this side of the finish line. At least that is what some of us hold.", I have been convinced by your own mouth that you have not faith in the Word of God. Even Jesus Himself. Present tense: (Joh 3:18 NASB) "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (Joh 5:24 NASB) "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (Joh 11:25, 26 NASB) Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (Eph 2:6 NASB) and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, And Paul knew he was saved (also present tense) and exhorts us to know it also: (2Ti 4:7, 8 NASB) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. If you still continue not to know your standing wherein you stand there also is a verse for you: (Jam 1:7, 8 NASB) For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. As Christ said, some have become so literal and have disected the Scriptures so much, that they have lost the essence of the Word. Jesus said to certain Jews, (Joh 5:39, 40 NASB) "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life." And studying to show yourself approved is good, but it continues to say, (2Ti 2:15 NASB) ..."accurately handling the word of truth." Some look more to what man has said rather than what God has said. May you come to know this Jesus, compudex |
