NASB | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. [John 7:39; Acts 2:33] |
Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Lookin, I respectfully "give up." It is obvious that you have your mind made up as I, and numerous others, have given you proof text after proof text that you continue to argue about. The free will mentality is a "Johnny come lately." Historical Christianity considered it "a herisy." A look back in history, the first three centeries where they were closest to the teachings of the apostles original teachings, declare free will and the lose of eternal security a heresy and extremely false doctrine. So, my friend, I leave you in God's hand and hopefully you won't "jerk yourself out of His almighty, sovereign, purposeful will." It is the ultimate shame on us carnal, sinful human beings that think we can thwart God's purposes and presupose that our will and failures can render what God has done "ineffective." Psalm 25 |
