To the saints.

Where is that in Scripture?

Not my best choice of A statement !but it can be looked at like This
Substituting "The Anointing" for "Christ" brings this statement directly into a specific biblical context, particularly the writings of the Apostle John.
In the New Testament, "The Anointing" (Chrisma in Greek) refers to the Holy Spirit given to believers. John explicitly links this indwelling Anointing to the preservation of Eternal life and remaining submitted to the Master.
The closest scriptural passages where this specific relationship is written include:

1. The Anointing and Abiding under the Master (1 John 2:24–27)
In this passage, John directly connects the Anointing, obedience to Christ, and the promise of eternal life:

"Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life... But the anointing that you received from him abides in you... and just as it has taught you, abide in him."

• How it fits your statement: The Anointing is given to guide you, but its preservation of your eternal life is entirely dependent upon you remaining (abiding) under His authority and teachings

The Direct Scripture for "The Anointing" and "Eternal Life"
The absolute best is 1 John 2:24–27. This is the only place in the entire Bible where the words Anointing, Abiding (serving a Master), and Eternal Life are explicitly chained together:

“Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning... ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. [...] But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you... abide in him

 

[Watchman22]

1) Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Not fact!
When that which is hoped for becomes fact, faith by its very nature ceases to operate.

2) The faith connection can be renewed after 10,000 stumblings. But that faith connection must be maintained in order for eternal life to be there.

3) There is nothing more important in this life than ever increasing faith.

1) Trying to conform to be a Christian is will worship.

2) The calling of God makes us trustees.

3) when you give your life to God, you "saint" yourself.

The born again experience is the replacement in us, the regeneration in us, of a living substance. And that substance is Gods own life that He gifts to us because we do something He wants. And there's a condition for that gift, Faith or a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender, trusting our lives to Him.

1) We become the habitation of God, through the spirit.

2) We do not have "saving faith" , if the outward man dominates our perspective.

3) If we take a step of faith towards God, ( a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender) He will meet you before your foot hits the ground.

Yes, sinners become children of God when they are willing for the Spirit of Christ to indwell them.

Yes, the evidence of being Spirit-indwelt is reflecting God's love toward everyone.

Yes, God seeks to save all sinners before any of them seek Him.

 

[ScooterJackson]

That's a key point - not all believers allow the Holy Spirit to live in them after initially getting born again

Some refuse to submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit especially after hearing the fake teaching that Christians can never lose their salvation. The fake teachers working for the devil convince many that they can still be saved as they continue living in sin.

Romans 8:9-14
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Yes, God seeks to save all sinners before any of them seek Him.

Don't tell the reformers that, they'll get mad at you.

They claim Jesus only went to the Cross of a few people.

1) The "lusts of the flesh" and "the indwelling spirit" are at war in us.

2) Holiness is about "commitment posture", not right deeds.

3) Once God has laid His call upon you, there is no neutral territory.

Yes, Paul describes that inner spiritual war in Romans 7.
A holy heart wants to do right but is not perfected until heaven.
God calls everyone to be holy, but some choose to reject His love.

1) The greatest weapon satan uses is to come disguised as an angel of light. And if he can't keep you from listening to God, he will come and confuse the issue by intruding distortions of what God said.

2) In my experience, it is much easier to be abased than it is to abound. There is much greater spiritual danger in prosperity, than poverty. It's much easier to get interested in Gods rescue efforts when you are down, than to get interested in Gods training efforts when you are up.

3) If the devil can't beat you down with guilt, he'll do it with offended innocence.

I see one of my key words in your message, abased you cant keep yourself there thast something the lord Does and we need to Recognize it.

 

[ScooterJackson]

The "lusts of the flesh" and "the indwelling spirit" are at war in us.

No in me it's not.

I died to self so now the flesh is not controlling me.

Holiness is about "commitment posture", not right deeds.

So we can go out and get drunk and it's all good then right?
We're all free to live like the devil and it's all good?

Yes, Paul describes that inner spiritual war in Romans 7

Then if you'll keep reading over in to Romans 8 the Lord give us the answer to the problems the unsaved guy in Romans 7 was experiencing.

There is much greater spiritual danger in prosperity, than poverty.

Only for someone who is a fool

Proverbs 1:32 - the prosperity of fools shall destroy them
Those being led by the Holy Spirit can be like Paul and be able to handle prosperity and not be destroyed by it.

If the devil can't beat you down with guilt, he'll do it with offended innocence

Well, then stop obeying the devil and this won't be an issue.

 

[Watchman22]

I see one of my key words in your message, abased you cant keep yourself there thast something the lord Does and we need to Recognize it.

I see abased as an inevitable state of being filled with the Holy spirit.

Being abased is the natural state of one who needs to give everything, because the indwelling spirit compelles us to do so.

Becoming abound is the reupping of resources to continue that hilarious giving, on the way back to the blessed state, abounding. Not a place to make our abodes.

Of course in our part of the world, abased might look like abounding in other countries. We should always remember that.

1) Christianity is not primarily a religion of feelings, we need to think!

2) Testing, trials, and pressure, is part of the state of mind that produces "faith", a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender.

3) Tribulation comes from the word "tribulum". Which is the word for the rod that beats the wheat from the chaff.

1) Sacrificing self, our lives, is the first element of "bearing our cross".

2) Supernatural simply means "more natural". We're just getting closer to God as we go along.

3) Cheer up saints, it's going to get worse!

And let's not forget the Lord desires to exalt us in due time.

1 Peter 5:6 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time

 

[Watchman22]

1 Peter 5:6 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time

Your proclaiming humility now?

I guess you have to start somewhere. Keep it going, that will attract more saints than what you've been doing.

 

[ScooterJackson]

Your proclaiming humility now?

Humility is being in submission to what the Lord says in His Word.
You should try it sometime!

 

[Watchman22]

Humility is being in submission to what the Lord says in His Word.

No, humility is a by-product of living with the Spirit and mind of Christ in us.
Obedience to Gods word, also a by-product of the Spirit and mind of Christ in us.

Do you even know how the relationship starts?
What is NT faith?
If you'd like a chance to be taken seriously, answer that question. If you don't, I'll just put you back in the cornfield.

 

[Watchman22]

Humility is being in submission to what the Lord says in His Word.

Just so you know , submission to Gids word won't work, as your displaying.

It has to be submission to Christ Himself, a real living person.
