SAVED BY GRACE THROUH FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST.

-

Many hold to beliefs and there are doctrines which preach along the lines, saying: “Once saved always saved”.

However, our Lord Jesus Christ says: “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and [LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).  “But he that shall [ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED]” (Matthew 24:13).


“Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32)? Lot, his wife and two daughters were elected to be saved form the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels of God told them, saying: “Escape for thy life; [LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE], neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed” (Genesis 19:17).


However, Lot’s wife loved life so much in Sodom and Gomorrah that she had to have one last look, but it was not to be, because she turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26). Lot’s wife did not believe the word of God as spoken by the angels of God. Lot’s wife did not endure to the end, and lost her life.


When Jesus says: “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62); this means that once we come to the knowledge of the Truth by the word of God, we are not to look back on this earth to the lusts, pleasures, and pride of life, in other words, the pollutions of this world. Peter, a disciple of Jesus warned, saying:


“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” (2 Peter 2:20).


The Apostle Paul explained saying: ”[FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).


“What then? [SHALL WE SIN, BECAUSE WE ARE] not under the law, but [UNDER GRACE]? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?


For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.


But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. [FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST] our Lord” (Romans 6:15-16, 20, 22-23).

Whatever is now taking place and will continue to take shape in the coming years in the world, and on whatever road we find ourselves on this earth, let us always be reminded that GOD IS GOOD (Psalm 73:1). “Depart from evil, and [DO GOOD]; and dwell for evermore” (Psalms 37:27). “[AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD], to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). “Glory ye in his holy name: let the [HEART] of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: [SEEK HIS FACE EVERMORE]” (Psalm 105:3-4). “Blessed be the LORD for [EVERMORE]. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 89:52).

The POWER OF GOD and HIS ONLY BEFOTTEN SON (Genesis 1:1-31) (John 1:1-4, 14, 3:16-18): Human beings who die in JESUS CHRIST NEVER SEE DEATH: BELIEVE THIS! (John 8:51, 10:19, 27-30).

  GOD is a LIVING GOD: “[FOR HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD, BUT OF THE LIVING]: for all live unto him” (Luke 20:38). GOD GAVE HUMANS THE BREATH OF LIFE, BUT THEN CAME DEATH. At the apex of time, Adam and Eve did not BELIEVE the word of GOD: the TRUTH (Genesis 2:16-17, 3:2–3) and instead believed the LIES of the devil, aka Satan (Genesis 3:4), that “crooked serpent” (Job 26:10). As a consequence ALL human beings were CONDEMNED TO DEATH. However, God then sent his only begotten Son Jesus, at the right time, in the fullness of time, to bring and to spread the WORD OF LIFE: “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). The Apostle Paul gives a clear understanding when he said: “Therefore as [BY THE OFFENCE OF ONE] judgment came upon all men to [CONDEMNATION]; even so [BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE THE FREE GIFT] came upon all men unto justification of life” (Romans 5:18). “[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by man came also the resurrection of th

If we know to say “Thank you” to another human being when an act of kindness is done for us, then we MUST GIVE THANKS TO GOD because he CREATED ALL THINGS (Genesis 1:1). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5). Furthermore, we must especially GIVE GOD THANKS for the promise of ETERNAL LIFE through JESUS CHRIST. “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his [ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16). “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now [COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT]: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will [JUDGE THE WORLD] in [RIGHTEOUSNESS] by that [MAN WHOM HE HATH ORDAINED]; whereof he hath [GIVEN ASSURANCE UNTO ALL MEN], in that he hath [RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD]” (Acts 17:30-31). “[FOR AS THE FATHER RAISETH UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM; EVEN SO THE
