I see the 2 dynamics. Because on the one hand we see written in the word ,I think it's First Corinthians, where it says some are saved as by fire .
they're saved but their works are burned up.
But then on the other hand (I think it's possibly concerning the New Jerusalem), is that it says,"from without are adulterers whoremongers liars gluttons Etc". And so I think it could be both, because we're kind of like King David.
He sinned, but God did not cast him off. Even his son Solomon did something so Grievous, and yet God told Solomon, because of your father David I will not rip the Kingdom from you.
So basically I see us either walking with him, or doing our own thing. And so ,in my mind, there is a question, of can I walk so far away from him that there's no way home. In other words, can I find my way home?
And we don't know if we stop invoking the blood and we get so carnal that we can't even stand to be around God if we will just be welcomed into heaven.
I hope so. I hope it is like that, that even those that stray away, the Good Shepherd goes and he leaves the 99 and goes after the one.
I do know one thing for a fact is that whatever he does concerning me it will be the correct thing.
He has got me this far and I can't say it's because of my great awesome holiness, all I can say is is that he made me holy and he does require me to walk in that holiness
