Subject: Unforgiveable Sin? |
Bible Note: Greetings Luke, The object isn’t getting everlasting or eternal life as it were. I think a lot of people loose sight of the object of Faith, Jesus. Eternal life is only a fraction of what one receives when they have the Son. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Once a person has the Son they get it all; not just eternal life. People are always trying to get eternal life, which they can’t do. Eternal life is a free gift, or if I may so bold as to say, a by product, that comes automatically when one puts all their faith in Jesus and they receive the Son. John 14:6 “In part for emphasis” Jesus saith unto him, I am the life: 1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. I believe the big problem, once in the family of God, is staying in fellowship, i.e. exercising the function of I John 1:9. “Grieve not and quench not.” We are to keep a very short log time while out of the control of the Spirit. In other words we “aren’t supposed” to let the old sin nature rule the house! God says; Hebrews 13:5 (B) I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. God wants to be in charge of of us and Paul says that’s where the battle starts because after we receive a new nature we still retain our old one, sin nature, and sometimes it wants to be king of the hill. Romans 7:19-23 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Our old sin nature has a battle plan, lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and the pride of life. God has a counter attack plan but, it “MUST” start with I John 1:9 and then orders of the day can start to function, residual Bible doctrine that we have stored up in our frame of reference applied to the problem area or the breach in the line of our defense. Have a great day, CDBJ |
