I’m a believer in Jesus, but this terrifies me. I struggle everyday with sin and the shame of trying to come back, knowing the things I’ve done. I can’t imagine the devastation of being told “I never knew you”. I pray strength for all of those fighting these spiritual battles. Never stop fighting

Ive prayed for you brother. The best thing for you is prayers,conviction by the holy spirit, and the word of god. Applying it, casting down every vain thought even when you dont want too. Ive fallen off the wagon because ive played with thoughts, and went places i knew would tempt me.Everytime i said one more time but, dont listen to that lie that just pays the way for the next time, humble your self to jesus and resist the devil and he shall flee from you.Defeated but he will return preying on your weakness and ignorance, so be ready for him with the word of god (the sword),being strong in spirit and you will have the victory. For his strength is made perfect in weakness and is sufficient for you. Dont lean on your own strength but be filled with his the word of god so you can grow. Jesus is the bread of life and he will give you living water and you will be filled.Study his word and his spirit will be made manifest in you. Love ya be delivered in the name of jesus amen.

RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died!

Mitchell I know the Trinity is a hard thing to grasp for our human minds, but you can see it in manly places in scripture. Jesus did claim to be God. Not meaning there are separate gods but 1 God in 3 persons that have there own function: The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Just like when Jesus was talking to the Jews he said before Abraham was “I AM” God calls himself “I AM” to Moses. And during the creation in Genesis it says Let us make man in our image. It’s important to know that Jesus was God in the flesh because if he wasn’t then he couldn’t have been perfect, and if Jesus wasn’t perfect then his sacrifice wasn’t the perfect sacrifice we needed once and for all to take away our sins, it wouldn’t have worked. So we must see that Jesus is God and repent and trust in all that he did for us. This link has many scripture examples showing Jesus claiming to be God in the flesh (the Son of God). I hope God opens up your heart to this :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdKUgdaCsc-qcqc.html

@@ksha630 Jesus stated that HE and the father were ONE. Jesus stated that HE was the resurrection and the life, that no one could come to the Father except through HIM. Jesus stated that HE saw Lucifer fall from heaven like lightening. Jesus stated “before Moses was, I AM.” as GOD referred to himself as I AM. The reason the Jews (his own people) tried to stone him was because his statements implied his divinity. You can’t claim to be the SON OF GOD without stating you are on par with God. Prophets don’t declare that they are one with God. Prophets don’t state that they are the means to eternal salvation. Prophets don’t state that they existed from the beginning of time. And prophets don’t state that they came from heaven to earth. Either Jesus was a liar which means he WASN’T a prophet or he was who he said he was and did what the gospels said he did. Either you believe the gospels or you don’t. Jesus also said several times that those who don’t believe that he was who he said he was are condemned and won’t receive eternal salvation. So your Islamic prophet is either a liar and no prophet at all or he is who he claimed to be “the alpha and the omega” the beginning and the end. 🤷‍♀️

@@benmiller7663 When you take the entire bible into consideration the evidence to support eternal security are in few verses. Whereas loss of salvation there is a lot of support. Its like 20 to 1 in favor of lost of salvation. And its in the tone of scripture too. There is a keeping power that's for sure but sin can hold us fast again. Remember, sin has to be washed off every day for a reason. Or when ever we sin. There is a lot of maintenance in the life of a Christian. I find I can only behave like a Christian if I have daily devotions prayer/scripture reading and fellowship too. If my quite time slips I backslide automatically. And if I do my own thing, enjoy the world and its pleasures', serving in the church and doing good diminishes. I do Ice hockey, ham radio, surf the internet and it all pulls on me. I see what Jesus mentioned as the "choking of the word" taking place in my life. But my prayer life/ scriptura reading empowers me with self control, do what's right and keep a good witness. That's my take on things 35 years in Christ. I guess this is why Paul use the metaphor "Running the race" it sort of like that.

We are the wheat of the field to be reaped come judgement day, the weeds are kept with the wheat for a time only to be stripped away and burned during the harvest. None of these show that we have ever fear falling away. We do good deeds not in the hope of having eternal life, but because God had mercy on us. We don't preach the Word because it makes us better, we preach it because there is nothing we can do to save anyone, let alone ourselves.

It sounds like you’re trusting in yourself for your salvation instead of in Christ. It’s Christ who payed the price for your sin, He took the judgement meant for you on the cross. If you believe that, then Gods Spirit will live inside you, being born again as Jesus talks about in John 3, will change your heart of flesh into a heart of stone (new covenant promise found in Ezekiel), and therefore changing your desires and you will do things like Bible reading prayer and evangelism not because you feel like it’s necessary for salvation BUT because you’re thankful that you are saved! Salvation is a work of God, not man. Stop trusting in yourself and trust that it is already finished, Christ has done it all. God Bless :)

John 17:3 defines a personal relationship with Jesus, and God. Everlasting Life is to know(the greek defines this as an intimate relationship) Jesus and the one true God. And you should know that to receive this personal relationship is by believing on, placing your trust on Jesus and his good news that he came to save sinners by his death and resurrection. A believer walks after the Spirit because they already know God. Without the Spirit one cannot walk after it. Those who "know of him" are they who when they heard the gospel, the good news they did not believe it and thus were never saved. I am confident that anyone who simply relies on Jesus alone to make them righteous/bring them into heaven are they who do truly know him. Agape Love to you and Grace to you in Christ Jesus the savior of the whole world, especially to them that believe.

Both of you seem sincere, considering you are asking for prayer and are concerned about your relationships with Christ. If you truly give your lives over to Christ and accept Him as your Savior, He will save you. Do what you can, live for Christ to the absolute full extent of your ability, and pray fervently. God will not reject you. Get involved in church and Bible study and share your concerns with other believers, memorize scripture to fight back against impure and unrighteous thoughts, and above all - trust in Christ. If you do these things you will find peace. Many times we are tempted to believe that we aren't saved or perhaps we've lost our salvation and we are quick to give up but I exhort you, do not give in so easily. You were made for more than to wallow in fear and anguish. If you guys would like, I did a Bible study recently wherein I took notes from both Dr. John Piper and Dr. David Jeremiah on the topic of salvation and how you can be assured of it. I would be more than happy to share it with you. Edit: Let me know if you'd like it. And of course, I will be praying for you both.

Grace, Grace, Grace! Did you forget that Christ Jesus loves you? He loved you enough even while you were a blasphemous, doubtful, no good sinner! So much so that he died for you, so that God could justify you in his sight. Do you think He'll give up on you now that you're born-again, alive in the Spirit and yet you still practice the things that you hate? Be encouraged in this, that He who has begone a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. If you trusted Jesus Christ, trusting that you are justified by what he has done, you have Eternal Life and should not perish. You have the gift you received already by trusting the gospel, which is Eternal Life, which is TO KNOW(intimate relationship) God! Your spirit is one in Christ, consider it like marriage. As God as my witness if you just receive God's undeserved, unearned loving kindness which is grace, by trusting Jesus to give it to you, you are made righteous! You'll be in good company with all the saints and God.

Reading the comments, it breaks my heart.. so many are suffering, scared, feeling condemnation, counting their sin but we have a Saviour! He came, so we can look to Him and live. Thats real repentance.. to deny yourself, that u cant offer anything, and to turn to your Saviour completely. In Hebrews 10, through what He did once, just by one offering, He has made you perfect once and for all. It says where the remission/forgiveness of these things were, there now remains no more offering for sin! We can now go boldly to His throne with nothing in the way! The continual rememberance of sins and offering of sins over and over never pleased God, so He sent Christ.. what He wants is to make us free so we can know only Him and enter in a relationship with Him. Seeing sin never changed anyone.. its seeing Christ that we are changed, from glory to glory! Perfect Love.. thats Christ.. casts out all fear, because fear has torment, and in the greek, torment is fear of punishment. We are made free from fear, and brought into His Love. Christ in u.. thats key! He will work in us and free us from all bondage because we are His. But the moment He came in, He became your perfection and your righteousness. His righteousness is a gift, not something u earn. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Paul said examine yourselves and make sure Christ is in you, because thats everything. When He said "be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect", He clothed us upon with His perfect righteousness. When He said "be ye holy as I am holy", He sent into us His Spirit of holiness. What God commands, He also provides. I love the story where the disciples were rowing all night against the wind and waves.. yet they couldnt go any further. They rowed all night long. Jesus was watching them from a mountain and praying. At the end of their strength, He came to them on the water and the moment.. the moment He entered in the boat, they were immediately on land. Hes the One who gets us all the way home. Christ in u, the hope of glory.

@@LivingTrancefully when I read it, I see that it speaks of the new covenant. It says that its a greater punishment to know the truth about the new covenant yet reject what Christ has done.

Jesus Loves You The best way to interpret Hebrews 10:26 is to understand The writer was talking to Jewish people hence the name hebrews. And they were caught in between believing in Christ and believing in the law at the same time they wanted both and the writer of Hebrews is making arguments against the law for salvation for keeping the law for salvation. They were believing in Christ and still sacrificing bulls and goats under the law. This is why the writer mentions this verse before 10:26 [3] But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. [4] For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. [5] Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT a BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME; [18] Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. you see they were still caught up under the law while believing in Christ. And then the writer says in Hebrews 10:26. NASBS [26] For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, What The writer is telling them if you go on sinning after I have explained to you The truth by giving you knowledge of the truth. There remains no more sacrifice for sin. Which means you know the truth and you still reject to believe in what’s truth. Therefore there remains no sacrifice for your sins because they won’t they won’t put their feet into the new covenant to put there faith to believe in Christ and Christ alone only Christ not Christ and the law The reason why there’s no sacrifice for sins is because they will be considered still under the law if they don’t put full faith in Christ. And under the law there is no sacrifice for sins because Jesus change that with his new covenant we must put faith in him and him alone I bring nothing to the cross only Jesus. So this was the problem in Hebrews. And if anyone today thinks they could bring law for salvation and Jesus for salvation at the same time there is no salvation under this belief

We have to make the conscious choice every day to decide whether or not we will hear “I never knew you“ or “well done my good and faithful servant“ God gave us his grace so that we don’t have to be perfect in order to enter his kingdom. He also gave us free will to decide what’s more important to us; God or the world. Therefore our eternity depends on us!

Every Christian has to understand that works are still important, it’s just we don’t do them to get extra brownie points in front of God, but rather we do them because we LOVE Him! If you have faith in the Savior, you would want to do works to glorify him because the Holy Spirit wants you to do these things. That is why James says faith without works is dead, because there is a difference in believing to know the facts of Jesus, and believing meaning to have trust in what He did on the cross for you and for Him to completely take over your life.

Very interesting that you posted the way that you did. The majority live in a once saved always saved doctrine, but the Bible has so much to say about actual salvation!! It’s a daily process of dying to ourselves and being born again in Christ through the Holy Spirit!! If one is truly born again you strive to carry your own cross and follow Jesus. He is life,deliverance,healing and joy therefore you don’t sit idle in sin and just pray about it. You have to fast,pray,apply and discipline your own mind which actually means rebuking your own fleshly thinking quite often!! Then in time you become diligent and are able to persevere but just as sin doesn’t accumulate more and more overnight,neither does righteousness!!

It is very simple. Verse 21. Jesus said they never did the will of His Father. What is the will of His Father? John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that all that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace ye are saved, what Jesus did for us, through faith, and that not of yourselves, we did nothing for it, it is the GIFT of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. These false converts were trusting in what they did to save themselves, but never trusted Jesus as the only way of salvation by faith alone without works. They believed if they kept Gods laws and did good works, they would be saved. So they could boast in what they did, instead of what Jesus did for them. They boasted in what they did to save them selves. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after ye heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, (First Corinthian 15:3-4) in whom also AFTER ye believed, ye were sealed by that Holy Spirit of promise. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit in whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.. Romans 8:9 Without the Spirit of God, there is no salvation. With the Spirit we have eternal life. It is not so important that we know God, but that He knows us. Second Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, the foundation of God is sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. When we believe the gospel that Jesus paid our sin debt in full, and we can never be condemned again, John 3:18, we have eternal life through what He did for us plus nothing. We can only be saved by what He did for us, not by what we do or do not do, our works. AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE. Romans 11:6 It is all grace, not works. We can not save ourselves by works. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, and we all sin, and we all die, but the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Since He paid our sin debt in full, we can not go to hell because we have no sins to pay for. Jesus already paid for them all when he said, 'IT IS FINISHED". That is an accounting term that means paid in full. Our sin debt is paid, past, present, and future sins we have not even thought of doing yet. All paid by Jesus one blood sacrifice for all sin forever. So, Jesus did not know them because they had never believed on Him as the only way of salvation by grace,, and did not have His Spirit in them. Ephesians 1:13.

We can not save our selves by keeping the law or doing good works. We can only be saved by grace, what He has done for us. Once we believe it, we are sealed by the Holy Spirt and are saved forever. To trust in our works is to believe Jesus died in vain. Galatians 2:21. I do not void the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Jesus said, by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in His sight. God will not accept our works, only Jesus finished work on the cross as full payment for all our sin. Romans 4:6-8 He imputes His righteousness to us, and will no more impute sin to our account. AMAZING GRACE.

Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:4‭-‬6 ESV bible.com/bible/59/1jn.2.4-6.ESV

And this is His commandment, that we believe on His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another. John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that all who seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have eternal life, and I will raise Him up on the last day. Those that trust in their works, what they do to try to earn heaven are not saved. John 6:28-29 Then said they unto Him, what shall we do that we might work the works of God? Jesus, answered, and said unto them, this is the work of God, that ye believe on the one He has sent. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace ye are saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, (we did nothing for it) it is the GIFT of God, not of works, (what we do or do not do,) lest any man should boast. Since we did nothing for our salvation and Jesus paid our sin debt in full, and when we believe on Him, we can no longer be condemned. John 3:18 First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, THAT YE MAY KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

@@BRIDEOFCHRISTYESHUA STOP WITH THE BACKBITING TONGUE, sister? 1st John 4:7-21 God’s Love and Ours 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world, we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Grateful for this interpretation of a question that has been on my heart for some while. I believe Philippians 3:10 can also be used to identify what it means to know God or be known by God. Philippians 3:10 NIV I want to know Christ-yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, Here Paul says that he wants to ............."becoming like him in his death " I believe this is to say that he wants to live a life that Christ lived. Full of love , grace and ultimately sacrifice. Full of the gifts of the Spirit. It also draws on an interesting concept of the life of Christ, in that Paul declares that he wants to be..." like him in his death " . I believe here Paul is not declaring that he can fulfill the role of Jesus on the Cross but he pledges to live the life that Christ did. And what we perceive as " life " in the body, in the flesh is actually death ! This is why in 1 Peter 3:18 it says. ... For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18 NIV This body which we think is alive is actually death. The Lord God came into the flesh, was made alive by the spirit and rescued us from this dominion of darkness. Colossians 1:13 NIV For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. This is why we have to be born again , not if the flesh but of the Spirit. In doing this we are promoted from death to life, which is true life, eternal life.

I am also brought to mind, "the Shepherd knows his sheep, and his sheep know his voice", and of course a whole panoply of verse comparing Jesus' own, with the shepherd's sheep, throughout the Bible. I am always enlightened by the perspective of others, this no less than any. God Bless you on your Journey to South America.

Gotta love this comment section. You got the OSAS and the Sinless Perfectionism groups back2back. Makes me dizzy. I really have no idea what to believe about salvation anymore, other than it comes from the Lord, we can't earn it any more than we can fulfill the Law in our own power. I believe Christ's sacrifice was sufficient, once for all time. I think it devalues Christ's sacrifice to say that we can add anything to it by our works. The saved will naturally desire to eliminate sin and will be susceptible to chastening of the Lord via a sensitive conscience which can and will inordinately grieve us when we sin. Oh Lord, have mercy on me and teach me to hate my sin as you do.

Ransomed? But who recieved payment? And again Rev 3;18 i council you to buy gold from me refined in the fire so that you maybe rich and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen and salve to annoint your eyes so you may see.
