OSS is the Better Acronymn
OSS = Once saved, saved!
The postposterous, posterous, and & preposterous idea that if you are saved,
why you are saved!
While you are croqueting doilies on passages off the topic, apostasy, passages you think mean a person loses salvation (though such an expression is altogether absent from the Bible),
fixate on the positive promises of God:
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants;
And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.
Ps 52
But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God:
I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;
1 Thes 5 end:
"And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He Who calls you, Who will also do it.
Col 3
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then ye also with him shall be manifested in glory.
The Eternal BeautyRest Mattress!
2 Thes 2:16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
End of Rom 8:
And we know that to them who love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. For whom
he foreknew,
he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom
he foreordained, them
he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom
he justified, them
he alsoglorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 3He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect?
[Yeah, some idiots take a shot at it!]
It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written,
For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Pet 1
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an inheritance incorruptible, and
undefiled, and that
fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you, who by the power of God are
guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Now I don't have any hope for you guys who write off the Savior as a mere chance-giver.
But for those of us who trust Him as actually the Savior,
we have this inheritance,
incorruptible, undeflied, unfadable, guarded by God's power.
I'm wearing my unfadable jeans of salvation.
They are part of the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Let this one sink in:
Thou shalt call His name Jesus,
for He shall save His people from their sins.
So suppose one day a guy is in the Lake of Fire,
& he complains to the warden as to how the Bible had said,
"He shall save His people from their sins."
The warden replies, You never said peep in your life.
You went around muttering all the time, beep good, beep good, beep good.
