Hello all. No doubt, the question of OSAS has been a huge debate around here as of late. And for the most part, i feel like we know who is for and against it.
so what i’d like to know, if OSAS isnt true, then what is true? I’ve never gotten an honest answer from those on this forum as to this question. And my main thoughts on this are, 1. If OSAS isnt true, then what is the requirement to get to Heaven? 2. Since sin no longer matters, are we free to just live however we want?
IF, OSAS isn’t true.
THEN: There IS NO Salvation “GIVEN” a man while that man “IS” alive “in his flesh.”
The whole concept of RECEIVING “salvation” NOW, while alive in ones flesh, Highly hangs on the Facts:
* World Population has exponentially Increased since the beginning.
* As world population Increases, SO ALSO does corruption, Wicked men, (which is men of Power, ie parents, teachers, government reps etc. acting with Deception, underhandedness, deceit, and power of force and power to punish for rejecting their demands), which because of corruption, effects the drawing men AWAY from God, to follow and trust THEM.
(Open Eyes NOW, Open Ears NOW...They already world wide are preaching, THEY are the World’s SAVIOR of life, vacs, wars...They already world wide are preaching THEY are the World’s SAFETY Net from FEAR, Loss, etc.
* And of course there are evil spirits, always roaming about enticing men to reject God, and Trust him.
Salvation FOR 4,000 years, WAS “promised” men “who” Believed and Continued their Believe to the day of their physical death.
OLD Covenant, according to Law. (Ie Gods Order and Way).
The Law did not SAVE them. Continued (endured) Belief and the Promise Saved them, after their physical death.
* The OLD Covenant was fulfilled...the OLD Law was fulfilled...BUT NOT DESTROYED, which means the A man under the Law (ISRAEL), could continue under the Law, Continue belief, and at the time of his physical death, He will be SAVED when his body dies.
A GENTILE man, BELIEVING, continuing (enduring) believing, to the time of his physical death, ALSO, shall be SAVED when his body dies.
Like an ISRAELITE, (believers), Gentiles, (believers) are on their own WILLPOWER, (up against, powerful evil spirits and powerful wicked men),
To KEEP believing.
A believing man CAN, be enticed, tricked, tempted, vulnerable, to reject God, and trust Wicked men, and trust Evil spirits...
BECAUSE, that man IS relying on his own will power....
(And we already know, spirits and powerful men have more power than the population at large.)
* THE NEW “better” Testament...Promise, Covenant...(Heb 7:22) IS an
ASSURANCE of a man to receive Gods Gift of Salvation....
BEFORE his physical bodily death. “IF” that man TAKES his SALVATION,
(According to Gods Order and Way).
It’s a Service of Agreement, by the mans heartful word of Confession....
And thereafter the WORKS of God of Forgiveness and Conversion.
This WAY, requires that mans...spiritual bodily death...Crucified with Christ Jesus...and Heartful confession of Belief.
* That man BY Gods Works, satisfies his ONE required Bodily Death, satisfies his ONE receiving of God Saving the life in the mans soul, satisfies the ONE circumcision of his heart, (natural spirits thoughts), Receiving a new Born again spirit from Gods Seed....
* That forgiven man WHOLLY...body, soul, spirit...has satisfied Gods requirements to FOREVER and ALWAYS, be “WITH” God and God “WITH” that man.
* That man IS Forgiven for have HAD been Against God (ie the mans SIN), IS Saved, IS Quickened, IS Sanctified (set apart unto God), IS covered with Gods Light ie Gods Spirit IN that man, (his forgiven sin not seen nor remember any more), IS Justified, (to be redeemed ONLY by the Lord God).
* This man CAN NEVER fall away from God, NEVER reject God, NEVER be separated or WITHOUT God.
* This man IS KEPT forever WITH God, BY GODS POWER IN that man.
* God CAN NOT stand against Himself. Gods Spirit IN a man would be standing against Himself, IF Gods Power failed and ALLOWED that man, (who Submitted to God)...to REJECT God.
* OSAS....IS expressly Applicable to men WHO, HAVE heartfully and wholly, body, soul, spirit, Submitted unto God...and God HAS WHOLLY, body, soul, spirit ...accepted that mans spiritual death, (crucified with Christ Jesus,) saved that mans soul and quickened that mans spirit, and Forgiven that mans SIN Against God...once and forever....WHILE that man was alive in his flesh.
* God IS a jealous God. He wants EVERYONE of his creations TO WANT TO FOREVER Be “WITH” Him.
* For ALL the Gifts and Blessing and Goodness God has Given mankind....
* WHAT does mankind HAVE that is SO Precious, TO GIVE TO GOD?
**** ONE THING**** the mans Bodily LIFE.
John 15:
[
13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
We are all going to bodily die.
Yet a man who is WILLING to Give his life unto Death, FOR the Love of God.
There is no other WAY for a man to TRULY SHOW HIS LOVE to God...
AND the bonus, unto God?
Every man WHO lays down his LIFE...FOR GOD...
Ta da...that man Becomes Gods Inheritance.
Who does not want ALL of their inheritance?
