RE: PERSONAL SPIRITUAL LIFE 3 - SALVATION & SPIRITUAL LIFE

in #christian-trail7 years ago (edited)

Saved, being saved and will be saved!
Saved
Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Being saved.
Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Will be saved

Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

It is also noteworthy that the truly righteous do what is right. There is a difference between being given over to sin and sinning. One is continual and habitual with knowledge of the wrong. The true believer will always abhor sin. Sinning is different! You hit your thumb, or my dad used to Say, the wrong nail with the hammer. You say something you shouldn’t. This is sin, but not habitual. There are really two categories of people, those who overcome and those who are overcome. The overcomes are given the right to eat from the Tree.
I had a friend years ago who was a homosexual. His Name was Glenn. He came to Christ and really loved the Lord. He fought almost daily this temptation even though he was born again. I told Glenn he could call me Day or night and I would pray for him or even come to town and have coffee if he ever was losing the struggle. He truly endured, fought the good fight and now I believe he is with the Lord. He eventually died of aids that he contracted before Christ. A person who is truly saved will offer up fruit meet for repentance. Like the demoniac. Clothed, in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus!
We are in error if we let people falsely think, they can stay in their old sin and lifestyle and still be part of the kingdom in this first category only of salvation.

Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
