Having God's Life and Shall Never Perish (2)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that every one who believes into Him would not
perish, but would have eternal life.
John 10:28 And I give to them eternal life, and they shall by
no means perish forever, and no one shall snatch them out of My
hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Part 2 of 2)
This initial salvation of God has saved us from God's
condemnation and from eternal perdition (John 3:18, 16).
However, although this initial salvation saves us from God's
condemnation and from eternal perdition, it does not save us
from God's discipline. During our lifetime God will discipline
us and may even punish us. In 1 Corinthians 11 Paul indicates
that God judges, disciplines, and even punishes the believers.
This does not mean, however, that those who are disciplined by
God will lose their salvation.
According to Scripture, on the one hand, we have been saved for
eternity. We shall never be condemned by God, and we shall
never perish. On the other hand, while we are living on earth
in the flesh, God will deal with us and discipline us.
Sometimes He may even judge us or punish us. Although we shall
never perish, we may experience God's discipline during our
lifetime. But it is altogether contrary to the Bible to teach
that to be disciplined by God means that we shall lose our
salvation. God may punish us for certain things, but we have
been saved for eternity and we shall never lose this eternal
salvation.
