Subject: "Once Saved Always Saved" |
Bible Note: Kalos, Nolan, Hank Three dear and beloved friends. Have you never seen a man/woman love for Christ 20 or so years and then walk away? I know their salvation could be questioned. As well as their damnation. However if things are as they appear they were truly saved and now they appear truly lost. I know God only knows the heart but I have seen this enough times to raise an issue in my heart. I do not depend on self to maintain my salvation as it is the work of Jesus Christ but there are times (and I know this will be hard to believe from such a spiritual guy like me :-))I have entered in to willful disobedience. My soul was troubled beyond measure and it wasn’t until I put that sin at the foot of the cross that I found relief. I shudder to think of my eternal destination had I died before I was able to repent. I have known people that were in similar situations and instead of repenting they continued in sin. They got more bitter, more angry and soon they allowed nothing to bother them. I believe they had allowed their hearts to be so seared that nothing effected them and they were truly lost. You say they were never saved, and eventually it caught up with them. I say they were saved and they fell away. End result is the same they are on their way to hell. With that thought in mind I will continue to ask my sins, transgressions and iniquities be covered by the Blood of the Lamb and sleep like a person who’s head is on His saviors lap. You may say that is unnecessary but it makes me feel oh so much better. Yes I know I didn’t use any scripture! :-) May the three of you be blessed beyond measure, and may you bless others with you presence and Christ like natures. EdB |
