A way, or ways, one can "discern" how "far off the beaten path" the "believer" is on?
Check out the number and severity of
"CALAMITIES" occurring in your circumstance/s.
Should give one and indication of?:
a)
Ephesians 4:30
And
grieve not the
holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
b) Matthew 5:26
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the
uttermost farthing.
c) Romans 11
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
25
For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Sealed? Oh YEAH!
It be like "Prego Spaghetti Sauce."
"It's IN THERE!"
Does "sealed" mean "Open?" Or, even "accessible?"
Not UNTIL the day of "Redemption!"
So? When does THAT happen?
Different strokes for different folks!
Folks.
