If you are born again, then you have >received< 3 Gifts from God that are eternal gifts.

These Gifts are more then just gifts, they are become a part of you.
They exist in you, and you exist as them.
You are Spiritually Bonded into them, and you dwell within them, because you are born again.

Born Again, is to be born INTO the Spirit of God, as "One with God and Christ"...by the Holy Spirit.

Now here is something KEY that you must know.... must SEE.
Its this verse...
""The GIFTS and callings of God are= without repentance.""
"without repentance"..= means that the Gifts God gives can't be taken away or stopped or removed, as its GOD who caused them to exist, and only God can remove them, and He said these 3 GIFTS are "without repentance"..... which means They can never be removed, lost, changed, or undone.
God's Gifts are just like God in this sense.... they are eternal once applied to you.
-
Lets look now at the 3 Gifts.

1. The GIFT of Eternal Life.

You have been given this eternal Gift... if you are born again, and not just water baptized.
Jesus said all that all who believe in Him, = ""He gives unto you eternal life, and you shall never perish".
Have you believed in Jesus? Are you born again? Then you have Eternal Life.
Thats a promise given by Christ.
This gift is very interesting because this Gift= is Jesus Himself.
He IS Eternal Life.
Jesus IS Eternal Life.
Jesus said, "I Am THE Resurrection AND THE LIFE."
And that's not water.....

How long does eternal life last? ???
Its EVERLASTING. = Lasting forever
Eternal Life will exist for as long as JESUS LIVES IN YOU and you are "in Christ".= for eternity, as ETERNAL LIFE has no end.
So....If you are born again, you have Eternal Life in you, you have RESURRECTION in you, because you have JESUS IN YOU< and you are "IN CHRIST".
Jesus is THE Resurrection and THE Life.



2. The GIFT of Righteousness

This Gift cost God His Son and it cost God His Blood.
God offers this as a GIFT to "as many as will receive Christ"...to "as many as will BELIEVE".
Jesus is God on the Cross, dying for YOU and ME, purging our sin, completing our Righteousness and giving this to us as "the GIFT of Righteousness".
When God was down here on this earth, as God in the Flesh, He lived a sinless life and He kept the Law and Commandments and in doing so, He "fulfilled them all".
Why?

A.) So that He could abolish them and put you "under GRACE".
Grace is NOW the LAW = regarding ALL the Born again.
"you are not under the law you are UNDER GRACE".
"Christ has REMOVED ..the curse of the LAW"... from you, if you are born again.

And why did God have to do this for you?


B.) Because you could not keep them.

Which means you were "dead in trespasses and sin", you were kept "under the law", in bondage to it because "the power of SIN...is the law".

So..God came here as Jesus, kept the Law, and removed it from you, and removed its curse from you,= "Christ has redeemed us (the born again) from the CURSE of the Law".
And the beautiful part is...He replaced The Law and Your SIN with His very own Righteousness, and if you are born again, you are now "made righteous"< because you have become "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
Saint......That is God's GIFT to you... "The GIFT of Righteousness"...gained for you, by the shedding of God's own blood.
This Gift is "without repentance".
This Gift replaces the old testament and old covenant with the GRACE OF GOD, which is the New Testament, written in Jesus's Blood as the New Covenant.
You, the born again, are "Made righteous".... You now and forever exist Spiritually and Literally as "the righteousness of God, IN Christ".
This is your "new birth".....You are born again NOT IN SIN< but AS RIGHTEOUSNESS, as the "new Creation"....and you remain so forever,... as this Gift is also "without repentance".
This "gift of righteousness". is EVERLASTING.
You did not earn it, and you can not keep it.
Its not based on you at all......its based on God's GIFT.
If you are born again, you have this "gift of rightousness" and it is "without repentance".
Saint, if you are born again then have become a part of God and God has become your Salvation.


3.) The GIFT of Salvation.

What is this?
Its Eternal Life and the Gift of Righteousness.
The Gift of Salvation is God Himself taking full responsibility to make you free from sin,= "made righteous", and going to Heaven.
If You are born again, and not just water baptized... you are actually already in the Kingdom of God, and are already "seated in Heavenly places, in Christ".
That is what God SEES when He looks at YOU. He sees you "in Christ", and "as Christ IS, so are the born again, in this world"..
"an heir of God", and a "joint heir with Christ".... A Saint.

Salvation is God faithfully saving you from beginning to end...from your 2nd Birth Day till Eternity.
Philippians 1:6
Its God causing you to become and remain always as righteous as He is, and as free from sin as the Blood of Jesus can clean you, which is to be eternally Cleansed by the Power of the Blood.
Only the Blood of God can wash away your sins......the water cannot.
Colossians 2:13
Hebrews 1:3

So, those 3 Gifts,.... Eternal Life, Righteousness, and Salvation.... are eternally yours if you are born again and not just water baptized.
They are free to you, but cost God His Son and His own Blood.
Remember them for all your life, everyday.

Thank you Jesus.
Hallelujah !!

Hallelujah is a Hebrew word... It means "Praise GOD". !

If you would stick to context you'd see that Paul is explaining that despite the nation of Israel losing it's gifts their calling still exists and later generations of Israelites will walk again in the promises of God. This has nothing to do with individuals not being able to lose a gift of God once they have received it. As Paul is showing us, the Israelites themselves prove this. Their gifted privilege outlined in Romans 9:4 was stripped away from them, but since God promised it to them through Abraham later Israelites, not the same ones, will possess them again. Context!

It's fine if you want to believe that the gift of salvation cannot ever be lost. This just isn't the passage to prove that! It has nothing to do with that.

That verse is speaking of the "gifts and callings'... So, for example, thats related to being "called" into the ministry.
And that verse is always speaking of "The Gift of Salvation"...which isn't something a person can get rid of, as this is a BIRTH.
Its a spiritual BIRTH, that is the Gift, and this birth has parts.......one of which is that to be born again you have BEEN "made righteous", as you have to be THAT, to be born again Spiritually.
This is all a result of the BLOOD of JESUS, (not water) being applied to you.....
