Bible Answer: Hi, Leslie N! Just like Simeon (Acts 8:9-24) many believe that they can bottle salvation and dispense it as they see fit... the warning is that sin is not part of the Kingdom of God and those who think that they can fool God into allowing them entrance will fall short of their goal as nothing that is tarnished will be let in (Revelation 21:27)... Jesus called us to Salvation, but we must be born of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-26); and our rebirth is not just for that one day when we are received into the Body... Jesus tells us that we must abide in Him (John 15:5-6)... if we do not abide in Him and we proceed to do as we please--returning to the life of sin--He will cast us off! Paul warns us not to deceive ourselves... if we claim to be in the Spirit we must walk in the Spirit; if we claim to be in Jesus, we must know and obey Jesus! It is not a matter of claiming a title; it is a matter of Living a Life! God Bless! Angel |
