THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE CHURCH AGE BELIEVER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US: . . ~ ~ Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, we are looking at the amazing action that God performed on the day we got saved. In one, fell swoop, you were judged, found guilty, sentenced to an eternity in Hell, had your ransom paid in full, pardoned, and set free in Jesus Christ. As if all that was not enough, God then directed the Holy Spirit to seal you in with an unbreakable seal that lasts until the day you are raptured on Flight #777, or you die and He takes you home that way. This is the blessing of salvation in the Church Age, but it did not exist before, and it will not exist after the Church Age comes to an end. Tribulation saints will have to have faith in Jesus Christ, but they will also be required to do the ‘works’ of not taking the Mark of the Beast, and not worshipping the name, number or image of the Antichrist. When we realize they have to do all that while at the same time do battle with the ‘strong delusion’, that’s a tall order! A good, old fashioned dose of rightly dividing, and we will come away from it with an increased faith and better understanding of the bible doctrine of eternal security. Simply magnificent! God while being totally unsearchable, makes His love for us so simple and easy! TR We are the ultimate rags to riches story. To say that we are multiple quadrillionaires is to vastly understate the riches we have in our Saviour. Your post reminded of this old song :whistle: He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, Psalm 50:10 “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.” Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. And it gets better !!! That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
The wealth in every mine;
He owns the rivers and the rocks and rills,
The sun and stars that shine.
Wonderful riches, more than tongue can tell -
He is my Father so they're mine as well;
He owns the cattle on a thousand hills -
I know that He will care for me.
