This is a blessing. This post.
It demonstrates perfectly the anti-gospel natural man mindset.
That natural mind as God said, does not understand the things of the spirit because they are spiritually discerned. And this occurs when God's holy Spirit enters those who are his.
And this has purpose;God's.Who said,as Jesus and when asked by his disciples why he taught the gospel in parables, because his words were not meant to be understood by everyone,else they repent and be saved.
That design is extant today as well. God's will and word is eternal.
Those who disfigure the gospel don't,and will not understand even after this, that Jesus died taking the sins of the world upon himself. He didn't take the sins in the world because then sin would not exist anymore.
He took the sins of the world. That those who believe in him are redeemed from their sins. Those sins being put under his blood that flowed from the cross so to wash us clean from what would otherwise be our sin debt to God with our blood.
That sacrifice guarantees , seals as a promise from God, eternal life for the believer.And eternal life is eternal salvation.
Because those natural minded ones are currently dead in their sins.The first death.
And when they die unredeemed from their sins, they die the second death that kills the body and the soul.
Those redeemed in Christ are eternally alive in Christ.
And all this is not our doing.
So we cannot boast,nor work to achieve salvation.
It is God's free irrevocable gift of grace he gives to we whom he calls to himself. And that he paid for by sealing the salvific covenant with his blood.
And because we are indwelt by God's holy spirit and understand the good news, we do not make a habit of dinning. Thinking we can do whatever we like now because we'll never go to hell.
Natural minds don't get that.
What are you calling the anti-gospel ?
The whole word of God MUST be rightly divided. I believe in eternal life as promised AFTER this life is passed and the body is deceased. We must ENDURE until the END of this life and breath has ceased.
No one except God KNOWS whats coming in the way of a believer.
There are doctrines,teachings,preachers & teachers that can shipwreck ppls faith. There are trials, weaknesses & sins that will shipwreck faith.
If this is denied and a person thinks our God did the work in forgiveness for the rest of my life and I am secure by doing nothing, then I pray they are not sifted so hard that they die for sin one refuses to confess.
In believing a lie, many will be damned !
