Subject: How does eternal security build faith? |
Bible Note: Good afternoon philemcc, I had to chuckle as I myself have done this after a lengthy response. The problem lies, I believe with pastors and teachers not teaching the power of the gospel to deliver and set us free, Because I believe both stances bring bondage. There are some on one extreme side that says...no matter how you live, you are heaven bound. Then there is the other side, make sure you constantly repent because you may have sinned and don't know it and if the Lord comes you will be lost. OHHHHHHH! Both grieve me in my spirit because both defeat the ultimate goal of Jesus-to redeem us from all past sins and set us FREE from the rule of sin in our lives, and cover us with grace while we grow toward that goal. One compels to continue carelessly through life and the other binds us not to move at all! Who the son sets free is truly free, dead to sin and free to walk in newness of life!Let's move on to learn how to live in that newness of life! From the heart! |
