are you saved ?

[Locust]

have you ever been asked that ? or maybe you asked someone are you saved ?

Matthew 10:22 says, "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Mark 13:13  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

I'm something of a smarty ,I will quickly ask ,saved from what ? normally its not a question any are expecting. as it is right now we have a enemy  1 Corinthians 15:26 says, " The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

it stands to reason the only way to be saved from death to life will come through Jesus the christ.

are you saved ? Technically no . there is a good chance you .......someday will die. taken from the people you love . to then to be saved from death to live again when the last enemy death is destroyed.

Technically, unless you fulfill Genesis 1:26-28, that is be found in the image and likeness of God and be part of God's Kingdom on earth, you are not fully saved.

1. For our sins we are saved if we don't enter the Lake of Fire
2. For the spirit of man there is rebirth
3. For the soul of man there is transformation in the image of Christ
4. For the body of man there is resurrection like Christs
5. It will be decided at the Judgment Seat of Christ if we have proved ourselves worthy to be co-king (Lk.19:17-19)

Matthew is a Book on the Kingdom. The rebirth is taken for granted. It is MY father, YOUR Father, OUR Father.. The Lord could not say this if we were all not born of the SAME Father. In Chapter 19 a rich young man asked how to HAVE eternal life. Jesus answered that by recognizing and confessing Him as God, he did not need eternal life since he had it, but that he needed to INHERIT or ENTER LIFE. In verse 24 our Lord Jesus used LIFE interchangeably with the coming Kingdom of God. In verse 25 His disciples, who had been taught by Him, said that failure to ENTER the Kingdom was counted as "not saved".

The issue at hand was not faith. The rich man had been assured of this. In Mark it says that "Jesus loved him". Wealth under law was a REWARD. His wealth was God-given. This young man had faith, had kept the Law, was loved by Jesus but he missed the Kingdom. - point #5 above. It is NOT the Kingdom IN heaven. It is that Kingdom that Daniel predicted in Daniel Chapter 2. It is the Kingdom (out) OF Heaven. It is "Thy (God's) Kingdom COME (to earth)".

Matthew 10 was speaking of point number 5 above. Are you WORTHY to be a co-king on earth with Christ when He comes. If not, you are not fully saved. We are not saved for heaven. We are saved to bring heavenly rule to earth.

A whole book study of Ephesians is good for answers to a raft of questions about salvation.

Here's a sample:

Eph 1:13-14  . . . in whom also you, hearing the Word of Truth, the gospel of our salvation, in whom also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,  (14)  who is the earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
 

[Locust]

please understand that if you end up dead and we never hear from you again ....you were never saved 

[enoob57]

I hope this is not saying you can't know if you are saved or not... God says 
Romans 8:15 (KJV)

[15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

[16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

I would say that if you do not have this witness within you ... you better work it out 'why'!

Yes, I have been ask that, and responded, yes, I am covered in the blood.
They immediately understood my answer. Do you?
Do you believe ALL that is written in the bible, or only what makes sense to you?

Are you saved, Locust. Are you saved by the blood of the Lamb?
If so, how were you saved if I may ask without offense?
Simple questions for any born again saved believer in the Christ, Jesus, the son of God, the Messiah..

Thanks, Locust...

Quote

Rom 10:9-10
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
ESV

 

Yes I can say that  I am (or will be) saved because I truly believe God raised him from the dead, and I have and do declare that Jesus is my Lord (and mean it), and I have faith that Jesus will do what he promised.

Mark 13:13  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

regardless of what people think or feel it ultimately depends on what the judge determines.Matthew 7:23.  "Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'". 

those called the evildoers do know of Jesus Matthew 24:5 says, "For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many"

and BTW will be deceived . 

2 Corinthians 13:5 New International Version

⁵ Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?

I really didn't expect you would be able to answer, but I just had to see for myself.
Thanks for that, Locust..
