Eternal life is not eternal because you can never lose it. It's eternal because it will never cease. The question is, are you going to continue to believe so you can continue to possess the life that will never end?
I would now be much more abrupt.
If you do not believe God today makes you clean and Holy, at this point in time in 2017, 19th Sept,
do you believe in God at all? Christ says your sins are forgiven, yet many behave and talk as if they
are not clean but need Christs righteousness to cover their present sin continuously.
Put simply this is disbelief. It is like saying I have washed my hands and they are clean, but I know
they are covered with bacteria still, so I am still unclean and need someone elses clean hands to do
things on my behalf. But Jesus says you are clean, there is now no condemnation for you because
you walk in the Spirit, yet these believers still feel condemnation.
So bad is this condemnation and guilt, they need to invent righteous consciousness, and not
continually be aware of sin and trying and failing to not be defiled.
And what is their argument against this? Oh you are lowering Gods measuring of sin, so low your
sinful state is not being recognised properly, 24/7. Again notice the idea, you are guilty of sin, not
specified, which continually defiles you so you need Christs righteousness.
People who self condemn, who are very insecure and who need constant reassurance, will invent
more and more theology to compensate rather than face the truth, they are insecure and find it hard
to trust anyone, let alone God. They need less theology and more abiding in the love of Christ and
knowing what the cross really means, how brutal, painful, terrifying an experience it was, rather
than devaluing it, and saying it is not enough to cleanse and purify them, they need more. Ironic
that this is their accusation to us, that we devalue the power of God to save without us changing.
Truth with a twist makes it meaningless, just an idea with no power in the Kingdom.
What is galling, is to be challenged by saying I am claiming the cross is not enough to save.
The ludicrous thing is, ofcourse the cross saves us, through faith we are washed clean, but without
faith, we are lost in sin.
But the truth is these are universalists who project the cross saved the world from sin, and no ones
sin is counted against them anymore. But this is just heresy and meaningless. Sin kills people, it is
Gods reason for our being thrown into the lake of fire.
But again this is lied about, that this is the theology they hold to, because they know how heretical
it truly is. Why remove Gods judgement for sin, if sin still remains, it makes no difference.
It is like saying all drunk drivers will no longer be prosecuted for being drunk.
It will just make drunkeness worse, and not change anything else. But people are so
dumb anything that takes away the terror of judgement, is worth lying about.
