Subject: Can you continue to sin an go to heaven? |
Bible Note: Greetings again, My final comment for the morning in conclusion to your previous statement. “But there is not one word in the scriptures that tells me that Jesus is going to maintain it for me. That is my responsibility.“ Good luck with that responsibility, and I did say luck, since it you doing the work I’d rather rely on what God has promised. 2 Timothy 1:12 (KJV) (B) for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV) 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (Who are kept by the power of God) This carries more punch in the Koine Greek! It says: The ones by the power of God being Guarded, as in the following with emphasis on “phrouroumenous” which is a verb participle, present tense that is continues action at the present time, passive voice, the believers receive the action of the verb, accusative case, i.e. God causes the action to occur, masculine gender, second person, plural,i.e. all you believers are included. Taus en dunamei theou phrouroumenous. God’s word has a lot to say about keeping care of his own, the battle is the Lord’s and greater is He that is in you then he who is in the world. And with that I will say good night! Psalm 4:8 (KJV) 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. CDBJ P.S. You would be doing yourself and the forum a big favor by not just giving a plethora of address for a verse of Scripture but writting it out because the past forty 47 years as a believer has taught me that no one will take the time to look them up and read them: if they are written they will be read! |
