Bible Note: Nobel Kam Aixen concerning your statement; "eternal life to those who believe. This is based on the fact that they have repented of sin and does not yet depend on their future faithfulness and service." If eternal life does not depend on remaining faithful to the end, as you have suggested, then the Bibical teaching about persevering in the faith, and running the race of faith is just taking up unnecessary space in Scripture. I feel the need to remind you that the hero's of the faith mentioned in Heb. CH. 12 not only started out in the faith but they also persevered in the faith until they died. They also died in the faith, Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. and have been set forth as our example to follow. Heb 12:1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Faith is about endurance, and is for those who remain faithful and are overcomers. Rev. 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. |
