A born again person has a renewed conscience....so that they become as the righteous ones...like children in regards to evil. Now they can serve righteousness...and maybe even go further and enter into Christ...if they seek hard for that.
But where do we go from a new birth? To an indoctrinating man-made church?
Or to God?
Almost nobody today goes to God. There is just so much man-made ministry stuff available. It is the easy way. The wide road of religion.
But God is available to they who seek after Him.
very few will try this however.
That is where I always struggle with your post. Whosoever is born of God overcomes the world. But you seem to make it about the children born of God must please their Father or else ...He forsakes them. That is not what I hear at all. When a person is truly born of the Spirit is the question...whether one is natural as the natural branches warned can be cut off...but not whosoever is born of God and is a New creature. The word does not say the New creature born of God is cut off. It is His Spirit that justifies and wherever His Spirit is, there is Life and freedom from death...no more condemnation. God chooses when and where to give His Spirit ...what you say suggest He makes a mistake in giving to some that do not “whatsoever is born of God overcomes the World”.
Same reason in the wilderness they didn’t go into the promised land. God said He would not be mocked. Do you think He is mocked by birthing children of the Spirit of God to fall short?
Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity;
even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
1 Peter 1:4-5 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, [5]
Who are kept by the power of God through
faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
There is something Paul knew well and that is Paul knew “He who is in you is Greater than he that is in the world”.
1 John 4:4-8 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [5] They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. [6] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. [7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
He is either “in you” and IS Greater than he that is in the World” and whatsoever is ‘in you’ ...overcomes the world(in fear not for I have overcome the world)...because He IS Greater indeed. Or it is tossed about on the waves never coming to the full knowledge of the truth but walking a fence, limping between two opinions ...saying He is Greater but denying it by works that must be maintained or they fail which by nature are our own works or they would not fail. God does not fail. God does not grow weary nor faint...that is the point of “little children” you are born of God.
Yes there is an urging to be certain you will never hear “I never knew you” meaning where there is NO Spirit of God there is no Life...and in Works He never knew you. Paul knew what was in Him was Greater and nothing could separate Paul from the love of God...which was fully displayed in his fearlessness of what men could do to him....KNOWING nothing could separate him from God. What you keep speaking is there are no reassurance in the abilities of God but all assurance rest solely on the child even after birthed of God and Life...to possibly not endure. That is not what He says of where His Spirit is but the opposite as His Spirit overcomes and endures all things and is faithful and true. Acts 3:16 And
his name through
faith in his name hath
made this man strong, whom ye see and know:
yea, the faith which is
by him hath
given him this
perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Perfect soundness of the Spirit of God...how can this be when God is painted as a God who bears children of His Spirit ...then decides whether they are New creatures worthy of the New creation. That is not what the Word says ...but those of HIM will build the old waste places. Doesn’t say anything about God aborting children born of Him.
