My, my , my how soon some people forget.
Human intellect believes the lie of false Christianity – almost as much as the child of God who believes he has the divine nature. Keeping the Gospel in memory is one thing. Remembering every sin is forgiven is another . And living in a forgiven state of holiness is another. Must not forget about how Christ purged our sins at Salvation and gave us what’s needed to live holy in an unholy world.
James 1:14-16…But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
2 Peter 2:20…For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2 Peter 1:9…But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Note…the terms drawn away – entangled and overcome – and forgetting when your sins were forgiven. Three scriptures that deal with the saved that let go of their faithfulness and obedience to Christ. Entangled with sin
1 Corinthians 10:12…Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall
Some even believe in vain…
1 Corinthians 15:1-4…Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
.
Living a life for our Lord is the very ultimate passion in in our lifetime !
As the years go by it get sweeter and our knowledge of Him ever increases .
To know Him is to love Him and die is gain !
God has given me 65 years of bliss, what more could I ask for ? ( saved at 22 )
Amen!
