There is a false teaching, that creates the false perception that many believers maintain regarding the idea that you can break your fellowship with God.
The good news is : that this can never happen.
Why?
Its because your Fellowship with God is not based on you. Its only based on the Blood and Death of Jesus..its only based on = the Blood Atonement creating eternal PEACE between you and God, ... = at all times.
Listen, you dont maintain peace with God.
Its the blood and Death of Jesus that does this for you, = "the GIFT of Salvation".
Most believers have not been taught that being born again is to be eternally purchased.
You are actually "bought with a price" Paul teaches, and that price is the blood and death of Jesus.
One of the understandings of REDEEMED< is this idea of being "blood bought", by Christ's Blood.
To be saved, to be born again, is to be redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
The idea is: "bought BACK".. or ransomed by the payment that is God as Christ as Christ on the Cross.
"Redeemed", is the idea of .... Lets say your child was kidnapped.
So, the kidnappers want a million dollars.. And if you pay it, you get your child back.
That money is your child's redemption.
And regarding our SOUL and our ETERNAL LIFE...... our Salvation.....this was paid for by the Blood of Jesus.
God's holy blood is
THE ransom money that has released us from
Revelation 20:11... from Death, Hell, the Grave, and "outer darkness", which is the "lake of fire".
So, the blood of Jesus, has released the BORN AGAIN from all those "captors", and eliminated the Judgement due us all for our sin that was coming to us us after we met God.
The Blood of Jesus has redeemed us from
THIS = situation....
John 3:36
Jesus's BLOOD is the PRICE THAT HAS BEEN PAID... for you so that God will take you and keep you.
WE dont pay it.
How could we?
God already did.
= Welcome to Redemption.
Now....IF fellowship was broken between us the born again and God, then God the Holy Spirit would not be communicating with us at all, as He would not be in us anymore.
So, that can't happen, as we can never stop being ""the Temple of the Holy Spirit".
We can never stop being "born again", and that does not mean water baptized and religious.
And the reason we are always in UNION with God, is because the same CHRIST on The Cross that created our fellowship with God, always maintains it....and maintains it for ETERNITY.
And that is the Blood of Jesus. That is this verse in operation..
Philippians 1:6
Listen , always remember that is not by your works or self effort that God took you and keeps you, but its only by the "finished work of God on the Cross" that you are made worthy (righteous) to be accepted and kept by God... ...which is the only reason that God took you and keeps you. = (born again).
Its the
Blood and Death of Jesus that created your eternal relationship with God to begin with, and its the same Blood and Death of Jesus that maintains it, and not our lifestyle or our behavior.
See... "it is not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to GOD's MERCY"......= is why we are always in fellowship with God and why we are kept in eternal fellowship with God....
at all times..
So then.... out goes the false theology that teaches you... "im being good to stay in fellowship with God", = as this is legalistic nonsense that you are taught by deceived self righteous people from a pulpit or on a forum or from a TV or DVD, or commentary, or Youtube video or Blog.
-----------------------------------------
Here is the reality....when you blow it, when you fall, when you commit a "work of the flesh"..a carnal deed that you enjoyed.... you feel guilty and condemned and you believe that these feelings are proof of broken fellowship with Father God.. Well, disregard your feelings, as its the Blood of Jesus that Keeps God at peace with YOU, always.
See, Salvation is not YOU keeping peace with God......Salvation is the Blood and Death of Jesus keeping God ALWAYS at peace with you....irregardless of you.. as that is :"The GIFT of Salvation" and "the Gift of Righteousness"
And when you repent and confess and tell God how sorry you are, again....and then you feel better, and the next day you feel fine....that is not God restoring your relationship to Himself....that is you working out your guild trip the way you've taught yourself how to do it the last 400 times over the years.
Thats your little
mental ritual that helps you feel better.
See....God was at peace with you the whole time., but you were not at peace within yourself till you went through your guilt healing ritual (confession) that freed you from your own self affliction.. evetually.
Yes, really.
And here is something else that most believers dont realize, because they are never taught this spiritual reality......
When we, the born again, become the Temple of the Holy Spirit....= GOD moved in forever..
He moved IN.. for eternity and the born again became ONE WITH GOD, forever.
This is a permanent situation, Saint.
Being born again is not going to stop, its not going to end.
Remember that...
See...You have BECOME the BODY of CHRIST.....and that will never change.
God made you clean so that He could move in, and did, if you are born again, and not just water baptized playing a false game of religion with yourself that you think is "christianity".
Its The blood of Jesus that is ...= the Gift of Salvation... that is the BLOOD Atonement, that God has provided so that He can accept you and keep you.
And God does not move out if you mess up a little more, or a lot.. as God does not see our sin or charge it to us....
Romans 4:8 2 Corinthians 5:19....= because God's redemption has recreated us as a "new Creation". The born again are One with God and Christ. And in THERE, is no sin found. There is no sin found in Christ, and you are "in Christ" if you are born again.,
Not water baptized, but BORN AGAIN.
And if so......= THAT is the real you, and not the person who is double minded and fleshy and prone to grow cold regarding the things of God.
Listen..., there is no getting God out of you, as "Christ in you" is an eternal SALVATION...and we are "ONE with God and Christ".. for as long as God LIVES, if we are born again.
We are...the born again.....and that makes us this..>"as CHRIST IS....So ARE the BORN AGAIN in this world"''......
at all times..
When we are born again, we are born again by "incorruptible seed" that REMAINS as our Born Again "new Creation in Christ". 1 John 3:9
So, that part, (the real US) is the born again Spirit that has been BORN AGAIN = Into God's Spirit by God's Holy Spirit.
Thats the REAL YOU, that is the Son/Daughter of GOD.... and that is the only YOU that God will ever see or perceive you to be, today, tomorrow, and forever.
The born again exist as "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
HE does not see your faults or your little secret sins or your doubt, as you seem them.
He only sees you as : "The righteousness of God...in Christ". "BORN AGAIN" a Son/Daughter of God.
And when you have that same mind, when we SEE ourselves as God always sees us....then you are walking in the Spirit in a "renewed" mind.... and not until.
Till then, you are not, and that is why most believers keep sinning and confessing and living in that low darkened spiritual state of fractured discipleship.
Its interesting that in many churches, you are told you are born again, but you are never told into WHAT you are born again INTO ...and why or how.
So, its very simple Reader.....You are born again Spiritually by God's Holy Spirit...INTO GOD's Spirit.
This is why you are "in CHRIST"...as CHRIST
IS God.
And this is why your NT tells you, that... "as CHRIST IS, so are the born again, IN THIS WORLD".., and that is every born again believer.
See, the reason you are '"""seated in heavenly places, IN CHRIST"""< is because you are "One with God and Christ"........forever.
This means that all the born again are born again INTO God's Spirit......and that is where we EXIST. = for eternity as a SON/Daughter of God.
This is why you are IN The Kingdom of God right now, if you are born again, and not just water baptized.
And this is for ETERNITY you exist there, as born again.
So, being "in Christ".... is to be "ONE with God and Christ",= born again into God's Spirit.
And so, that is a "fellowship" that you can never break by being a bad little boy or a bad little girl.
Good or bad Behavior has no effect on BIRTH, especially a Spiritual one that is created by God that has eternally placed you INTO God's Spirit, as a Son/Daughter of God.
