Subject: How does eternal security build faith? |
Bible Note: Disciplerami: Greetings and thank you for your reply. I agree with you that this makes sense: Anyone who is practicing sin needs to be lovingly approached and encouraged to repent. One who persists in willful, deliberate sin and rebellion against the Lord should not be encouraged with the promise of security. Such a person may be clinging to a false hope. (Nevertheless, Scripture abundantly affirms the Christian's eternal security. See Jn3:15-16, 36; 10:27-30; Rom 8:35,37-39; Eph 1:12-14; 4:30; Phil 1:6; Heb 10:12-14; 1 Pet 1:3-5.) Radioman2 |
