Having God's Life and Shall Never Perish (1)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1Pet 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us
unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, 4 Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and
undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, 5 Who
are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a
salvation ready to be revealed at the last time;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Part 1 of 2)
God has regenerated us in our spirit. The element, the
substance, God used to regenerate us is His own life.
Furthermore, this regeneration with God's life was accomplished
by a Person, that is, by God's Spirit. As a result of this
regeneration, we have received God's eternal salvation and His
eternal life. In this sense we have already received God's
salvation. No one can deny that we have received God's
salvation in its first stage. We have received two things that
are eternal--eternal salvation and eternal life.
Because we have been regenerated and have received God's
eternal salvation and eternal life, we have become God's
children. As children of God, we shall never perish. This truth
should strengthen us and keep us from the erroneous teaching
that says if we sin after we have been saved, we shall perish.
That teaching is nonsensical and is absolutely not according to
the truth. Once we have received God's eternal salvation, we
are saved forever, for eternity. God's eternal salvation is not
dispensational; it is not temporary. Because it is an eternal
salvation, we shall never perish.
