May I shake the World and wake ALL who does not know......
Jas_1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
God's salvation is a PERFECT gift. God saves ALL His children with an UNWAVERING, NON TURNING Spirit. HIS OWN! The moment God saves a person, AT THE END OF HIS REPENTANCE, God puts HIS HOLY SPIRIT in that person, THAT is the SEED that remaineth in a BORN AGAIN person.
I do not declare these people sinless and perfect, GOD does in 1 John 3:9... Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 5:18.... We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Now that is what I call SALVATION! What an awesome God we serve in Christ Jesus! There is no horse as high AS GOD'S SALVATION!
HE RAISES US UP FROM POOL OF DEATH TO BE IN HIM.
Crossnote, I am not saved, I am not perfect, I am a sinner destined to hell, may God SAVE ME! Like He did so many before me. But if salvation means I will ALWAYS sin and ALWAYS fall short of His Glory, holiness and sinless perfection, then God can just leave me as I am. I am better than most people claiming to be "born again". So if God does not make me in the same level of holiness of the saints in HIS Bible, then He can leave me as I am. But if HE wants me to be perfect, then I HOPE WITH ALL MY SOUL HEART AND POWER, HE WILL DO SO! Save me like HE SAVED PAUL, PETER, JOHN, and the saints of Rome, Philippians, Ephesians, Hebrews and all the children of God, that will be .... AS HE IS IN THIS WORLD!
I know God's children (those born of God) CANNOT sin, all I hope is I am also chosen by God to be one of them! Who am I as sinner to even think God will choose me? But I may HOPE! And that not even Satan can take from me! Read 1 John 3. The whole chapter, I have that hope, and I am busy CLEANSING (Purifieth) MYSELF AS HE IS PURE, what are you doing? Sit back and trust on grace abound more becasue you are NOT CLEANSING (purifying). There is so many people that claim to be born again, but they stopped repenting, and they want me to believe them? Crazy! Either them or me!
