Oh, wait... I think I read that somewhere Matthew 18:3-4 (NKJV) and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Key words: "know" and "have". both present-tense. Praise God. Key word: "Believe" as usual, the condition of "having eternal life" is in the present tense! Praise God! We don't have to wonder at the half-truths of those that ignore the entire truth of the passage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaningful for everyone, amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God has told us if we genuinely ask Jesus Christ into our life and heart we are saved. We need to trust that. God wants us to have assurance of our salvation with no doubt.

In other words, God in his infinite wisdom, created a means to be joined eternally to him that a born again person can't mess up. You can mess up your fellowship with Him, and you can totally mess up your personal life, but that is ALL you can do. However, regarding Salvation, God created it so that once its applied to you, you cant mess it up. And its a good thing that He created it this way, as a human being would mess it up The Joy of The Lord is......you cant..........as Salvation lasts on your behalf for as Long as God LIVES. When a believer realizes that Salvation is not you holding onto God, but rather its God holding onto you........then THAT is a moment that will put a smile on your heart every time you think about it.
