See, you can't remain a partaker of Christ if you don't continue to satisfy the condition that made you a partaker of Christ.
A Saved man; is neither
* Saved by his works,
* Saved by his power,
* Kept Saved by his works,
* Kept Saved by his power.
The Word of God, (called Jesus);
The Son of Man, (called Jesus);
The Son of God, (called Jesus);
Salvation, (called Jesus);
The Power of God, (called Christ)
Luke 19:
[
5] And when
Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and
said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
[
9] And
Jesus said unto him,
This day is salvation come to this house,
Jesus IS the Salvation.
Jesus OFFERS Salvation.
WHY Salvation IS GIVEN A MAN; IS BECAUSE the man CONFESSES "Heartful" BELIEF IN JESUS.
Rom 10:
[
10] For with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
A man IS GIVEN SALVATION;
"BY" THE POWER OF GOD...WHO IS CHRIST.
Two things Scripture teaches....
TASTING....and EATING
By the GRACE OF GOD...
* Men "showing" AN INTEREST TO LEARN "ABOUT" the Lord GOD (hearing His Word, reading His Word, Discussing, Studying, Asking, Observing others IN Christ)
*
ARE given "TASTES" of Gods Truths, Gods Blessings, <---- THOSE UNCOMMITTED, UNSAVED, MEN, ("BY GODS GRACE" ) ARE; PARTAKING IN the Lord God Almighty's UPON them.
* THOSE MEN, ARE; without COMMITMENT, ARE; getting a "TASTE", OF THE BENEFIT, OF a MAN.....WHO Heartfully Commits to the Lord God....and IS MADE...."IN CHRIST", BY the POWER of God, who IS CHRIST.
* It IS; THOSE men, WHO RECEIVE a "TASTE", of the Benefit of PARTAKING IN Gods Blessings..."AND THEN "REJECT" the Lord God"... THAT...has BETRAYED the Son of man.
Mark 14:
[
21] The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had
never been born.
WHY? Because BY GODS GRACE, an unsaved, uncommitted man, WAS GIVEN "without" commitment....A TASTE of Gods Heavenly Gift, and (spit out that Taste), SHAMING the Lord God Almighty, BEFORE men OF and IN the world.
Heb 6:
[
6]
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and
put him to an open shame.
Heb 6:
[
4] For it is impossible for those who were
once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
[
5] And have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[
6] If they shall fall away...
TASTING...a unsaved man receives heavenly gifts.
EATING...a man IS SAVED, and KEPT SAVED by the POWER of God.
Matt 26:
[
26] And as they were
eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take,
eat; this is my body.
Observation -
Repeatedly unsaved men ARE WARNED...
Experiencing A TASTE, of Gods heavenly gifts, is NOT the fulfillment of Receiving Salvation.
Such men are STILL vunerable to Forfeiting Receiving their Salvation..."IF" they DO NOT Heartfully COMMIT...EAT, TRUST, HeartFULLY CONFESS...TO WHICH "THEREAFTER", they RECEIVE Salvation, and their Salvation IS KEPT SECURE, By the POWER OF GOD.[/B]
