~ Clear Absolute
Statements—Straightforward Words: “Will” ~
The doctrine of “eternal
security” (sometimes described as “once saved—always saved”) is widely accepted
with Christianity. There are however
some who deny this important teaching of Scripture—by pulling verses out of
their context to make them say something other than intended. In this series we look at what the Word of
God has to say about the subject. “Him
who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the
presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 24).
What is your definition of “will”?
“And He commanded us to
preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to
be Judge of the living and the dead. To
Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will
receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:42-43).
“Jesus’ disciples saw Him
do many other miracles besides the ones told about in this book, but these are
recorded so that you will believe that He is the Messiah, the Son of God, and
that believing in Him you will have life” (John 20:30-31,
TLB).
“But what
does it say? ‘The word is near you, in
your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you
will be saved” (Romans
10:8-9)
