1 John 2:1-6 - The Path To Knowing Christ

[@Livingingrace]

Looking forward to the 1 John series as a whole and trying to share this ministry with as many as I can. Sound free grace eternal security ministries are rare. God bless you all...

You are saved by grace but once saved you are born again and your life changes and you start producing good works and good fruits and you love his commandments!

[@Northlandchurchstc]

There is no guarantee that once you trust Jesus Christ as your savior that your life will completely change and that you will follow Christ. Following Christ takes active participation on our part. This is why there are many passage telling us to walk/abide with him. If it were automatic there would be no need for God to tell us to take action.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

They are terrible. They are accusers of the brethren.

[@gurdialsinghbal]

I hear this dear Brothers heart when he dismisses the doctrine of election and how it appears, as some would describe a mystery, however I would not describe it as such but rather as a very difficult doctrine with the reasons for this being the arguments against and rejection of it by my Brother here. However, it is not that the Father does not will for all to be saved or the sacrifice of Jesus is not for the whole world, but the fact is that it is not enough for the whole world in that they will not all be saved. I am sure the Brother would at least agree that the Father knows which will be saved and those who will not, this is where free will comes in because it is not God who sends people to hell but those who would not want to choose Him anyway and those who are given over to their own wishes/will to live for themselves. This does not conflict with believers not earning their salvation because we will never live perfectly which is the standard required for Heaven and so we need the Saviour, Jesus Christ the Only Righteous as propitiation for our sins. In conclusion, in this brief explanation, it is the will of God for all to be saved and Jesus is the Saviour for all the world, but all will not be saved and the whole world would not receive the offer of a Saviour to them. That's why when 1 Timothy 4:10 s quoted here it says: "For it is for this we labour and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of believers" - note Saviour of all men (is enough for all), especially of believers (only for believers). This is why the word "elect" is in Scripture, not that we ignore it because it is difficult, we are the elect because we are elected - the only issue is understanding election and all Scripture in context as we can do if we do not turn it to suit what 'seems' much more comfortable and loving, which is possible and does take patience and prayer for God to reveal to us - once we have this truth and it's real meaning it does not turn God in to a monster but just confirms the all knowing loving Father that He is.

If you believe Once Saved Always Saved??? Your in False Doctrine. As much as you can be Engrafted into Israel, you can also be plucked out for your way of living. If you want to ignore God's Sabbath Commandments and Feast Days, you might have a problem. Check out Mathew 7:21-23... God's Blessings and Shabbat Shalom Y'all 🙏🙏🙏

[@jjsmoley]

That passage in Matthew says that those that do the Father's will shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. So then you need to ask what is the Father's will? It's to believe that Jesus Christ died for all your sins and rose again on the 3rd day. John 6 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Also notice how Jesus says that anyone that comes to him he will not cast out and that the only requirement to having everlasting life is believing on him.

@@jjsmoley idk why people think they have to work for salvation. Lol it takes so much pride. I’m not gonna trust Jesus, I’m gonna trust myself to get me to heaven

Keeping sabbath is NOT manditory for church age believers. Col 2: 16. Do you see sabbath keeping in romans 13: 9? Rightly divide the word 2 tim 2: 15kjv. Without proper division of scripture you'll make a mess of it, which you've already proved.
