To unsave His dearly loved saved ones, our God would be 'required' to: Unadopt us Unredeem us Unreconcile us Unregenerate us Unforgive us Unsanctify us (positional sanctification) Remove eternal life from us Uncircumcise our circumcised heart Disinherit us (remove our birth inheritance) Unbaptize us (Spirit baptism, 1 Cor. 12:13) Unseal us (take away the Holy Spirit) Make both Father and Son release their hold of us (John 10:28-29) Make the New Creature old again Transfer us out of the Kingdom of light and place us back in the kingdom of darkness ~ ~ And most importantly, it would require the faithful, promise-keeping God to be UNJUST and insulting to Jesus' Sacrifice, if The Father did not honor His Son's immeasurable GIFT of Saving GRACE (2 Tim. 2:13) True that! Let alone being called a liar! TR Amen! Amen! Amen! Yes, if God went back on His promises, He would literally cease to be God and the whole universe would collapse. We have that blessed assurance from our Wonderful Saviour. :yahoo: ---- 1. Eternal life is received by Grace alone through Faith alone in Christ alone. Eternal life is received the moment one believes in Christ as Savior, not after one dies. 2. Eternal life, once received, can never be lost or forfeited. 3. One may be assured of eternal life, based on God’s promises alone (i.e., assurance cannot be obtained, nor reinforced, from internally-focused changes in attitudes, behavior, etc.). The Bible consistently affirms these truths. Following is a Bible verse that states them very succinctly: John 5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Can you understand what this verse means? “Believeth” means that one receives eternal life by believing the gospel message. Nothing else enters into it. “Hath everlasting life” means that eternal life is a present possession. A person who has received eternal life has it now. Eternal means eternal! “Shall not come into condemnation” means that a person who has believed in Jesus as Savior never needs to be concerned about “maintaining” eternal life. It is a done deal. It is in God’s unfailing hands. “Is passed from death unto life” means that a person who has believed in Jesus as Savior has eternal life! What wonderful promises, from Jesus Himself!
