I would hate to have to work for my salvation. I know I would never be good enough to be saved. And just when I thought I was close I would sin again and then have to do it all over again. No once saved always saved. Even when we sin our status as a Christian is not changed (that is if we are truly a Christian) but the fellowship that we have is tarnished. Thankfully we can mend that fellowship by confessing our sins and turning from them so that we can have that perfect fellowship with the Lord. Sin is a part of who we are and while we are on this earth we will sin no matter how mature we are in Christ. I am so looking forward to the day when I can have a perfect fellowship with the Lord without the effects of sin in my life. I am tired of sin and having to battle with it every single day and I praise the Lord that I am saved and that the Hope I have is secure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a marvellous truth that Christ is in us, the hope of glory and that it's no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us.......BUT we need to be careful that we obey where it says to not go beyond what is written. And it isn't written that we shall be Christ...........on the contrary Jesus warned against that thinking, very explicitly. We are to RECKON ourselves dead so that Christ can live in us, but we are not actually dead and we do not actually become Him. It's only a manner of speaking, because it also says elsewhere that WE live by faith in the Son of God. So it's just a matter of not taking it too far in our thinking/belief.....just need to ratchet back a little, so to speak, in how we take that, brother. Bless you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE are actually dead, yes, and it is actually HIS LIFE we lead and live(when we abide in Him and are immersed in Him and His Word abides in us always) , yes, a FACT, not fable. Though rarely taught and even more rarely understood. (so no worries at this point.) To see this more clearly, Yahweh willing, skim through WORTHYCHRISTIANLIBRARY.COM (on this forum site) .... Several good, tested, proven testimonies and sermons and lessons there, from men (and a woman) whose lives were proven true in Christ Jesus, and their words were tested like gold, yes like much fine gold, and shown to be from Yahweh (His Word Revealed), substantially. (i.e. always test everything, all the time, and if something is out of order - if anything is not in harmony with CHRIST JESUS and ALL OF HIS WORD< then do not accept it no matter who it is from; constantly pray for understanding from the FATHER and continually meditate upon HIS WORD and read it often, seeking the FATHER'S UNDERSTANDING , not man's understanding) ...

Jeff, this is what I'm trying to say: Galations 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. It looks to me like some are trying to reason out a spiritual truth and it is leading them askew. Or maybe you could explain more about what you mean and why. Brother......do you believe that we become Christ? The Lord showed me in relation to the church falling away (judged/destroyed/not one stone left on top of another...because what has been will be again, and there is nothing new under the sun) in the end of the age that many would come saying they are Christ......it is the very first sign of the end of the age that Jesus gave in all the gospels where the disciples asked Him about it. Matthew 24:2-5 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
