Jesus gives a condition of repentance to certain members of the church in Sardis, or else He will blot them out from the Book of Life. Jesus clearly states that it is possible to forfeit your salvation.
The NT overall teaches a continual love/working faith relationship with Christ in order to be pleasing to God. There is no "sinners prayers" or even "5 step" approach (which i showed) that just flat out saves you once and for all--we must walk in the Light. We must stay on the straight and narrow.
We can turn our backs on the Light.
We can turn off of the narrow path.
This is why Jesus teaches "pray that you enter not into temptation". He knows the fragility of our hearts/minds.
LIFE-
1) mans Natural Blood in his Body of Dust.
2) Gods Breath, imparted into souls, He has made, that God Then, By His Power, Blows That Living soul into Body's He Forms.
Then, That Body, becomes Alive in its own independent Life....its Blood now moves,
Pumps it's heart, and that body is now alive,
Until that Blood Stops pumping through its heart.
3) If that Blood stops pumping its heart,
The life of that BODY Dies. The living soul departs the dying body. The body becomes dead, rots and returns to dust.
4) The departed living soul Will Go either TO
God "WITH GOD " In Heaven Or; TO Hell
"WITHOUT GOD".
The Determination OF Where a mans Living soul WILL Go... WHEN His natural Blood Life IS dying....
IS soley Dependent upon SALVATION!
SALVATION- Is a Provision God Has MADE For ALL Men.
All natural born men (bodies) MUST be brought INTO Living....Before they CAN DIE.
It is a body receiving a Livimg soul VIA Gods Breath that Brings The Blood Life of a body into A living state.
Every Living Body, by its Name, IS recorded IN Gods Book Of LIFE.
Thus Every Living Body IS Provided SALVATION for their Living soul TO "KEEP" FOREVER LIFE... AFTER, Their natural Blood life Body Dies.
SALVATION-
For a JEW - is received By Them, By their continued Obedience TO their Religious Laws, until their Blood Life ends
For a Jew - Who Does Not Keep Obedience or Being Obedient TO their Law, At the Time of Their Blood life ending...They have rejected their Salvation, Thus lose their Salvation.
For a Christian- Following along in the Christian Religion, Upon their natural Blood life, Sall also, lose their Salvation.
For a Christian- WHO....HAS...Accepted AN ADDITIONAL Life From God....
Above and Beyond...
His body's Blood life
And
His soul's Life From God
The ADDITIONAL Life being...That mans natural spirit Becoming Born Again From The SEED of God....
That Man IS THEN forgiven of All Sin and Forever That mans Salvation of his soul, his spirit IS Never in jeopardy of Being Lost.
That man, like All men Must bodily Die Once,
And fulfills that Requirement by being crucified WITH Christ.
That man may or may not naturally die.
It matters not. His body, soul & spirit are
SEALED and Testified TO God TO have Eternal Life FOREVER WITH God. His Name has NO jeopardy of being blotted out of God Book of LIFE.
Any Jew, lacking in obedience to the law...puts himself in jeopardy of Losing his Salvation. His remedy is to again become obedient to his law Before His bodily death.
Any man following the Christian Religion, puts himself in jeopardy of Losing his Salvation IF he does Not Accept Additional Life From God, BY and through God Birthing that man A new spirit, OF Gods Seed.
So ya... Men both Jew and Gentile Can Lose Salvation that was provided For THEM...
By Not...for a Jew maintaining their Salvation BY obediance to Their Law.
By Not...for a Gentile submitting to receiving Additional Life From God, of His Seed, birthing Them a New spirit.
You are trying to make Your Walk In The Light, According To Jewis Laws.
My Walk In the Light, IS NOT according To Jewish Laws.
My Walk in THE Light is according TO MY quickened spirit, Born of Gods Seed, walking In and With Gods Spirit! Precisely because I am FREED From Sin and Wholly made Whole,
I am given the Gift to acceptably Walk With God.
I have ZERO possibility of Sinning, of standing against God, of getting off the Straight and Narrow Path, of Not entering through the Gate to Christs Kingdom, of Not being Redeemed.
God Bless,
