Well, before Jesus ascended He left the Holy Spirit as a seal. And before Jesus ascended He rose again so...
We are sealed by the Holy Spirit = "The holy spirit leading people to live godly lives"
In other words, if you are not sealed by the Holy Spirit, you cannot be led to do a godly life.
I agree that one can lead a better life with the aid of the holy spirit..
The thing is tho no one can go to Jesus unless your sent from the father... bible John (Jesus) no one can come to me unless the one who sent me (my father draws you to me..).. what does this mean.
Does it mean that all children are under the wings of the father.... Matthew 18:10 bible 10
See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. …
So it seems all children are protected by angels who stare back in the face of God.
It would also seem from theese two verses i have Posted That Chidren are under the wings of the father until there handed over to the son (ie eternal life.)..
What doest this mean ?...
Is it that the father knows when you are sincere enough to go to the son ?..
Does it also mean that people can live Godly lifes befor there handed over ?.... coz surely the father would pass everyone over if he could and everyone would be saved ?..
Conclusion how do you know youve been handed over to the son...
lets examine...
1 in you confess that Jesus is lord and you believe he is the son of the father you are saved...
This thrase must be read as if you believe coz God would know if you truly believed and then he would hand you over to the son..
2 Is it works from the individual to truly want to be with Jesus follow his ways and want to be good for evermore that opens the dooor to Jesus ?
Coz surely God would hand everyone over to the son if people confessed Jesus is lord... I mean surely by now the whole world as learned that if you believe Jesus is lord you will have eternal life..
And surely everyone would talk to God and say God i believe this can i have eternal life..
I mean who wouldnt want to believe this with the prospect having eternal life... (conclusion people could quite easily say this to gain access...
What is left ?...
The father will examine your heart to see if you do believe and only when he feels that your intensions are Good will he hand you over to his KIngdom and the ways of his son..
What does this mean ?
It means if God handed everyone over they may not bare fruits for far to long for Jesus to carry on with his works in you.... meaning The works of Jesus would go to watse...
What does this mean ? It means that not everyone who confesses Jesus is Lord will be saved at that instance coz God has to examine your heart first to if your ready...
I could post this thread so that the whole world could see it and read that if you confess this now you will be saved..
LETS TRY IT..
LETS SEE IF IT COULD HAPPEN LETS STAGE A WORLD WIDE EVENT. so that everyone hears it live from streaming to live tv to podcasts to internet to satellite to broadcom to the whole world lets have a once in a life time event....
Will that happen ? if 1 3rd of the world satys awake for 24 hours it would ,,,,, we can only hope for this...
Lets say it happens andd everyone in the whole world confesses that Jesus is lord,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, will the who world recieve eternal life in at that instance ?
I think not coz there will be many who ask in return for something.... People should know that its one thing believing its a nother thing doing.. God bless the King..
Now is it at all possible that the father also keeps some for him self ? meaning he saves then alone ?
