Saved or Deceived- John McArthur (2of2)

Is it possible to understand the gospel message, have strong religious convictions, serve in a Bible-believing church, and be convinced you have a saving relationship with God, and yet still not get into heaven when you die? The Bible couldn't be any clearer on the answer. Yes, many people will one day stand before God and be shocked as they hear Him say, "I never knew you; depart from Me."

the rest of the passage:

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11

Also see Ephesians 2:1-13, Philippians 2:11-12

@jamr31 ou still worried? Did you read the list in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Or even 1 John. Only God can produce a repent heart in a person that cause them to repent and trust in Him. I just wanted to check in on you and see how you are doing? Let me know?

[Shoots1978]

@cubeus19 Yeah, but a Christian "hates" sin. They are growing in holiness, and sinning less, and less, not to say we don't sin. Not intentionally, a new attitude we have. And those past sins we done, we turn away from, we don't want too walk down that road no more, we know it's "our" sins that put Him on the cross. Or you can say it drove the wedge (the nail) between us and Him. 1 John. Maybe even Romans 6. Maybe that helps? :)

@Race2211 Sorry, your pride and righteous attitude make it hard to see how spending a lot of time interacting with you would be profitable for either of us.......

[Race2211]

@Race2211 I fear that you are a stranger to TRUE REGENERATION, if you think that YOU have to DO (bare fruit) to keep yourself justified in God's grace. Maybe you need to read Galatians about 5 times. Who has bewitched you, after you accepted God's grace of salvation to fall back into observing the law. You really don't understand GRACE!!! for ANYTHING that you add to it is an insult to Christ finished work on the Cross. Read Isaiah 64:6 & filthy rags in that verse is translated -minstral cloth.

[Race2211]

@prairiemark You still can't see the simplicity of God's grace, building up in Jude is meant: to strenghthen each other NOT some how (WORKING) -bearing fruit that justifies us. You mentioned a whole slue of religious groups that YOU say disagree with eternal security. Roman Catholics are NOT born-again christians; They are a idolitris pagen religion that prays to idols, petifiles, and think that mary is co-mediatorics, she is NOT! I Tim. 2:5. Continued.....

@prairiemark Jude is stirring the hearts of believers to spiritual growth, of course there's a connection between God's soveriegnty and man's responsibity. Ultimately, it's God @ work in us as we go about spiritual business, even when we stray in the deep stuff,He's gracious enof to grieve our conscience even as the Spirit grieves. So we groan and r eager to obey Him,that's part of our journey here. Ultimately, our obedience/works r the fruit of His work in our inner man. We dare not praise we.

[segadavid1]

@Race2211 Amen, I'd be hard pressed to find a truly saved and regenerate believer that can dare to say their works will see them through. Even MacArthur would agree with this. Grace saved us, grace will sustain us.

We died to self so He lives in us, working in and thru us & He gets the glory. We were bought by His blood, sealed/betrothed by His Spirit and will be fully one with Him @ the marriage supper. All our works r the outworking of the indwelling Christ. Glory 2 God!!!
