To Whom Is Given Eternal Life

[Mr. M]

Romans 2:

5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself

wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 

6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 

7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 

8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness

—indignation and wrath, 

9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; 

10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 

11 For there is no partiality with God.

 

Seek, and you will find.

Colossians 3:

1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, 

where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 

2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 

3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 

4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

 

John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous,

because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Hope of Eternal Life

Romans 8:

24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope;

for why does one still hope for what he sees? 

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

1 Timothy 6:

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called

and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 

13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before 

Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 

14 that you keep this commandment without spot,

blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing,

15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate,

the King of kings and Lord of lords, 

16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, 

whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

Titus 3:

7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs

according to the hope of eternal life.

8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly,

that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.

These things are good and profitable unto men.

[Big Boy Stan Murf]

And some get saved and receive eternal life... then fall away from the Lord and become corrupt and no longer have eternal life.

Having eternal life is ONLY applicable to those that abide in Christ.  Only those that are being lead by the Holy Spirit are the sons of God.

Those that are abiding in Christ are not willingly or knowingly doing sinful things because they are being led by the Holy Spirit into all Truth and God's Word IS Truth.

We know the Holy Spirit would not lead anybody to do sin, so those that are willingly or knowingly doing sinful things are no longer Christians because they are no longer abiding in Christ.

[TheBlade]

Praise God to all that will believe

[Big Boy Stan Murf]

And to those that abide in Christ, enduring until the end so they can actually spend eternity with Jesus!

The God Pleasers

Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?

For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

John 5:44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another,

and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? 

Zealous For The Body of Christ

1 Corinthians 14:12 Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts,

let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks

the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
