It is better for you to enter into life maimed rather than having two hands and go to hell” (Mark 9:43) Does Jesus go overboard in trying to express the incredible seriousness of sin? “You will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end (until his death) will be saved (eternally).” (Matthew 10:22) There are about 15 NT verses which teach this spiritual Truth above. And, enduring in the faith until death includes … • Not falling away during the times of severe persecution of Christians • Not submitting to the incredible pressure of taking the dreaded mark of the beast Both of these severe TESTS will be coming upon professing Christians soon! Re: taking the mark, be sure you read the eternal consequences in Rev.13-14. “Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth (eternal) death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.” (James 1:15-16) Sin brings forth eternal death upon believers also, unless it is repented of! “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) Repentance includes all of the following: the sorrow over committing the sin, the confessing it to God, the asking forgiveness for it, the stopping of doing it. “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God” (1 John 3:10) “He who practices righteousness is righteous” (1 John 3:7) Many believers have been deceived by the gospel of hyper-grace, the “Me gospel”. They have been deceived into believing that they have been made FOREVER righteous because of what Jesus did for them on the Cross. They have NOT been made FOREVER anything by God’s free gift of grace. They have NOT been made FOREVER justified, righteous, sanctified, saved, etc. NO GUARANTEES is what the NT teaches! … because … We see that all of God’s blessings are CONDITIONAL – all throughout the whole Bible! Warning: gifts can be taken back, seals can be broken, etc. Because believers are required to do their part in their salvation. They are required to co-operate with the precious Holy Spirit. And the opposite of this is the most-deadly practicing of habitual (unrepentant) sin! “And do NOT present your member as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God … as instruments of righteousness to God. … Do you not know that … you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether (slaves) of sin leading to (eternal) death, OR (slaves) of obedience leading to righteousness? … so now present your bodies as slaves of righteousness for holiness. … For the end of those things (past sins) is (eternal) death. ... For the wages of sin is (eternal) death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:13—23) Paul is writing to born-again believers in Rome (who are strangers to him). He warns them: sinning, being slaves of sin, being unrighteous – leads to eternal death! Attention: believers just do NOT understand Paul’s method of writing to the churches. It is all about being tactful, so he will be welcome to visit them (and teach them more). Paul mixes his warnings in amongst his MANY edifications, exhortations, blessings, etc. And he leaves it up to the precious Holy Spirit to reveal the deep meaning of Scripture. Warning: deceived believers are mistakenly taught to focus on the last line above, and they just do not realize that all of God’s blessings are CONDITIONAL, which is seen all throughout the whole entire Bible! Believers are taught that passages such as the Romans 6 simply do NOT apply to them! The churches do NOT want to get the troops upset … because the troops come trooping in every Sunday with their tithes! To be fair, some church leadership are not this way … they have just been deceived by the greatest lair and deceiver in history, whose name is Satan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
