Getting SAVED is a Free Gift.
From start to finish,
Once you are SAVED your in a race.
Once you are saved you are saved for ever, That is what being SAVED means,
Know you not that Salvation is ONLY given to a person on Judgment Day?
Rubbish. Tit 3.5.
When a person gets Saved, they have not received Salvation, if that were True, then they would immediately receive their Glorified bodies and be caught up with God.
when they are saved their glorification is
guaranteed. Rom 8.30
It is ONLY when the Book is opened on Judgment Day that determines who is Saved and who is not Saved, hence the reason it is called JUDGEMENT DAY.
where does it say this? I am saved the moment I truly believe.
i may be Saved today, and my name written in the Book of Life, but i may deny Jesus Christ a year from now, when my Mom gets a longsuffering painful disease, i may just curse God and deny Him, because He did not answer my prayers concerning her. Tell me, if i then a year from now DENY CHRIST, is my name still written in the Book of Life on JUDGMENT Day?
If my name is in the book of life from the foundation of the world NO ONE can remove it. Your God seemingly takes a casual attitude, My God will chasten the true believer to keep him faithful
i can ask you the same question, not likely you will answer though.
Is your name right now written in the Book of Life? Answer, its a simple question that you should know
.
The answer is YES,
Now tell me, are you saying it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to one day in the Future to DENY JESUS CHRIST? IMPOSSIBLE? WARNING: Careful how you choose to answer that question. God may just TEST YOU ON THAT.
It is impossible for a true believer to finally deny Christ, he is kept by the power of God.
So then today your name is in the Book of Life, does NOT mean it will remain there until Judgment Day
,
That's funny my bible says it will
Hence the reason the Apostle Paul used the analogy of a race, to get the prize. He also said that he had not yet attained it and not yet perfect
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
And God will keep me until the end Phil 1.6. I have to apprehend and I WILL apprehend. Your God is too small!!!!
Getting Saved is Free and anyone can have it.
It is free to all who truly believe. And once SAVED from the penalty of sin by God it must be for ever. Whom He justified, them He also glorified.
Being SAVED is entirely a DIFFERENT THING, but for some reason this generation refuses to see that difference.
Once we are saved by God once for all from the penalty of sin, He proceeds to save us from the effects of sin, Which He will proceed to do, It is quite clear.
Getting SAVED and BEING SAVED or two different things.
Both are free gifts from God. He saves us from the penalty of sin. The He proceeds to save us from the power of sin,
What do you receive the FREE GIFT DAILY? or is it given to you ONCE when you GOT SAVED?
The free gift was ours once for all when we were originally saved. God does not go back on His word.
I was saved once for all from the guilt and penalty of Sin when I truly believed in Jesus Christ as my Saviour from sin. I am still being saved from the power of sin by His grace
Is that not the DAY that you accepted the FREE GIFT?
Which free gift? He gives many.
Now that you HAVE that FREE GIFT given to you on that specific DAY, You are NOW to be DOERS of the Word of God and NOT hearers only.
of course, it is the effect of Him saving me. The free gift of salvation is once for all. And IT WORKS.
Do you not hear all the verses which teach to STOP SINNING, STOP obeying the enemy of Jesus Christ?
of course we do.
Do these words that i teach sound like words of the wicked one?
some of them, yes. you are all mixed up - by him
Are they not teaching to OBEY JESUS and not to obey satan
.
but they are putting the emphasis in the wrong place. GOD saves us, we do not save ourselves.
yet this generation think me evil and wicked because i teach what Scriptures teach concerning sinning. This generation loves to sin, and are not willing to give it up for Jesus or anyone. They love to sin and make excuses to continue to live in them.
this is an overgeneralisation which is NOT true. No true Christian loves sinning, He/she has been born again.
What i teach is what God told me, and Scriptures confirms what i teach
.
Both statements are untrue,.
This generation rejects what i teach because it is from God, and it is the TRUTH, but this generation loves to sin, not to hearken to anything that teaches against their own sinning which they love to do.
This is a misstatement of the facts. You are arrogant.
There is no sin that you do that you can't cease from, try to remember that the next time you are tempted to commit sin.
Now that is true.
Tell me, where is Jesus when you are tempted to commit sin?
He is with me and helps me not to sin.
