born to live, not to die

Many believers talk about God’s goodness, but are
afraid to believe that he could really be as good as
He claims to be.
Many fear that they can loose their salvation,
if they disappoint God with their sinful living.
Yes, they can be in danger of loosing their rewards and
even their life, but they will not be able to loose their
salvation. I Peter 1:23
Salvation is not a fair deal according to the natural man’s
standard of justice. Just like one person said, “if I were
god, none of you would be saved, not for a long time”.
When we are honest, we understand that we cannot trust
our own heart. We need something more reliable than that.
If a person refuses to believe that his salvation is eternal,
he has a couple of hard questions to answer.
The first question is about being born again.
Have I been born again, or am I in a process of being born again?
Will I be born again only at my death?
Can one be almost born?
Can the one who has been born become unborn?
Can the one who has somehow managed to become
unborn, be born again again?
All these questions lead us to a conclusion that salvation
either is a free gift or isn’t.
Man cannot change God.
This is one of the greatest comforts in this world.
