How about this verse
John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jackson 123 you just answered one of your other questions with this verse.....we are not going to perish in hell if we belong to him. ..... read the story about swept garnished but empty in the bible..( matthew 12; 43-45)
..a preacher preached on this one sunday and 5 MEMBERS of the church got saved....they repented, and felt great....that feeling wasn't salvation it was their sins swept away, as they requested......but as the verse says, the demons came back and saw this person , swept, garnished but EMPTY......empty cause they repented, and got their sins forgiven...and satan whispers, you got saved you felt different supernatural different...........of course, your sins were forgiven...but remember he stands at the door and knocks.....if you do not ask him in, you are only got your sins forgiven.....look at the verse, it said , when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.....then he saith I will return into my house from whence I came out and when he is come, he findth it empTy, swept , and garnished, then goeth he, and taketh with himself 7 other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of the man is worse than the first. even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.....THIS IS THE PERSON THAT COMMITTED MURDER AGAIN AFTER REPENTING......you have to do more then repent, you have to ask Christ in , he doesn't jump in after you repent, he stands at the door and knocks you have to receive him in . ask him in...otherwise you will be swept garnished but EMPTY.
