the book of hebrews must be taken in its totality, and I am very careful not to quote to many individually plucked scriptures one way or the other. I believe that one of the pivital chapters is 4. In this chapter, the writer makes the difference aparent between true believers, and folks hung up on the religion. Verse six tells us that folks of hebrew persuasion refuse to enter into the sabath rest of Christ, because they would rather trust in the religeous ritual, and sacrifice, than trust in the one who fulfilled that which was a for shadow of Him in the first place.
security gives me the power [John 1:12-13] to over come sin [Romans 6:11] For it is no more I [the spirit man] that do it but the evidence of sin still dwelling in my soul. [Romans7:17-20]
The problem you boys are having, is that you are not paying attention to the thread, and realizing that my security is based upon a threefold salvation, which is rightly divide by the scripture as spirit soul and body.
I have the foundation of salvation, justified in spirit based on Christ alone. this births in me a perfect spirit, [ Hebrews 12:23] born of an incorruptible seed [1Peter 1:23], that is incapable of sin [1john3],
sealed with an unbreakable seal [ephesians1:13: ephesians 4:30; revelation 5:1-5] and have become the house of the Lord Jesus.
now lets see.... inorder to lose your salvation, you have to corupt an incoruptible seed, break an unbreakable seal, bind up and throw Jesus out of his house. HHHHMMMMM. you boyz iz pretty bad!!! excuse me for being week and in need of a totally secure salvation that is based on Christ alone. If it were left up to me, I know I would mess it up. Thank God I can rest in the completed work of Christ Jesus my Lord
