“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin”..; this refers to our inherent nature. He “does not commit sin” implies in some way that, sin is no longer expected of such a one. We were born again unto a life WITHOUT SIN..!
Romans 6:6; ends with: HENCEFORTH we should NOT SERVE SIN.
Romans 6:6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
and
Titus 2:12
“WE SHOULD LIVE soberly, righteously, and godly, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD…
It is an outright rejection of the finished work of Christ on the Cross that breeds doctrines like Eternal Security. Why’s that..? Because it claims that there is no answer for sin. It claims that God, did not, and can not solve the sin question, so He only requires you to believe, and by that, He will grant you access into His Kingdom, even if you come in all beaten up by sin. THAT IS BLASPHEMY..!
Whereas God, by the Scripture says:
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Eternal Security proponents tell you, “don’t worry, as long as you have believed, your recklessness and rebellion against God counts for nothing..!
They will get their due for their ERROR..!
Some may say, Eternal Security does not teach outright sin against God, that may be true in some cases; but do they teach consequence for Sin..? No they do not. That is my contention here. Where there is no consequence for wrong, why would men not be godless..?
1 Corinthians 15:32-34
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
If Paul says:
1 Corinthians 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
and
Philippians 2:12-13
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
What makes you think less will be required of you..?
Yes, God works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure, yet the same Paul who wrote those words also says WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING..!
This is not contradictory, it rather means God shows you His will and encourages you (by His Spirit and sometimes with a write up such as this) to carry it through, that you might obtain Eternal Life. Like Joshua said: “choose life that you might live”.
If God shows us His will, then lives it through us, we would no longer be human but robots. What then would be the place of judgement for YOUR DEEDS. God never forces men to choose Him; it must always be the choice of the one who draw near to God:. OUR CHOICE..!
Stay on the narrow path brethren.
Stand upon The Truth..!
