According to Jesus-One must endure until their end to be saved. But if one lives righteous now, they are in a saved position, but they must do it until their end. Matt 10:22- otherwise that position is removed from them.
Saved from Death( eternal), Deuteronomy 30:19 is what God set before all mankind.
“Saved from Death( eternal),”
(Amen to this the second eternal death )
and why do men die ?
“Wherefore, as
by one
man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Romans 5:12
So
sin and its consequence which is death.
to believe is to hear and believe Jesus promise in
the gospel of salvation
so order to be saved from sin and death we have to repent and cease willfully partaking of it. Which means we have to stop denying repentance is necessary
it’s not that your saved and then removed from salvation but it’s that you
continue in the gospel it’s a process of coming to the gospel
It’s quite different from Moses law or any list of rules one follows it’s found here in following this type of thing taught by the lord many people focused on sin miss it completely
“But
I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto
him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that
taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that men should do to you,
do ye also to them likewise.
But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and
ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and
ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and
ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:27-31, 35-38
If I steal from you it’s sin , but not stealing from you doesn’t make me righteous. Loving other people makes us right in action and truth The things Jesus taught in the gospel is where we find his righteousness and our eternal judgement resulting in salvation from sin and death
“For I am
not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:16-17 KJV
Jesus teachkngs are about righteousness I’ve found often people think if they don’t lie and steal and cheat that makes then righteous but it is to learn and start following Jesus word his teachings that reveals righteousness loving even those who set themselves against us
The gospel is far beyond “ thou shalt not do this and that “ it’s about hearing what we are supposed to do ( righteousness ) not what we aren’t supposed to do ( sin )
a short study of Jesus sermons and lessons has a certain way of humbling us and realizing to us that we still also have growing to do and still need mercy every day
We find a life long commitment to keep following after Jesus even when we fail we confess and stand back up and continue
