a. “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” Romans 6:1
b. “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” 1 John 3:9
c. “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness [what is right in the eyes of God] is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.” 1 John 3:10 Note: Those who continue to willfully sin belong to Satan and not to God.
d. Note: Many Christians now believe they are free to sin because the blood of Jesus has them covered. Wrong! Romans, Hebrews, 1 John, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and other books of the Bible make it clear that you are responsible for your sins. Continue to willfully sin and you will see death at judgment time, not life. Jesus has you covered for unintentional and unknown sins against God assuming you actually are trying to live a sin free life.
e. Jesus says: “Go and sin no more”. John 8:11 See item #29.
17. “Whoever continues to willfully sin does not have salvation.” Hebrews 10:26
a. Note: Can you lose your salvation? The answer is yes. You could say it is an issue of not being a real Christian, as “real Christians” cannot lose their salvation. However, this is a lack of spiritual discernment. Read Revelations 1-3 and note how many times Jesus admonishes you to “hang in there”. If you cannot lose salvation, why is Jesus telling you that you can? Faith is a one-way street with God and the word teaches that it is better for those who never knew God than for those who turn away from God after knowing Him. It would be if they never knew Him. Yes, salvation can be lost and this fact is plain in God’s Word. In addition to Hebrews 10 and Revelations chapters 1-3, study Ezekiel chapter 18.
18. “You will find God when you search with all your heart and soul.” Deut 4:29 Also in Jeremiah 29:13. Note: All your heart and soul means you want to love God more than you love everyone else or anything else in life [including wealth]. It means you place God above your spouse and children, work, world, riches, etc. It does not mean you do not love your family. Quite the contrary. As you love God and draw near to HIM, HE will increase the love you have for your family. Your capacity for love grows as HE fills you to overflowing with HIS love.
a. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
19. Jesus made it clear that those who belong to him — actually do obey him.
a. “So why do you call me Lord when you won’t obey me?” Luke 6:46 Living
b. “If anyone keeps my word he shall never taste death.” John 8:52
20. Many Christians are going to hell because Jesus “never knew them.” Matthew 7:21-23
21. Abortion is evil and unacceptable in God’s eyes no matter what any man, woman or perverted church doctrine chooses to believe. Exodus 21:22-25 specifically addresses any harm to a baby within a mother’s womb caused on purpose or by accident. Real Christians understand that life is precious in the eyes of God and all who claim to belong to God. Psalm 139:14-18
