Galatians 5:4,
“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified
by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”
One of the most commonly misunderstood phrases in the Holy Bible is
“ye are fallen from grace” in Galatians 5:4. May I share a
wonderfully truth with you dear reader... a born-again believer can only
fall “IN GRACE,” never “FROM GRACE.” Romans 5:20, “Moreover the law entered, that the offence
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound.” Whenever we have sinned as
redeemed children of God, “GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND.” God's limitless
grace reaches deeper than the lowest sin that a Christian can commit! There
is no stain of sin so great that the precious blood of Jesus cannot wash it
completely away!
My friend, if you have believed
the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ crucified on the cross, buried
and bodily risen from the dead the third day, then you have no criminal
record in Heaven. You may have a rap sheet a mile long here on earth, but if
you are saved, you have no record in eternity! Romans 8:31-34, “What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall
he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall
lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather,
that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us.”
I cherish the following insightful
quote from Brother Lester Roloff (1914-1984), which emphasizes the imputed
righteousness of Jesus Christ...
“You haven't got
one thing to do down here—and that's to stay on the Bible trail—keep the
Commandments! You say, but Brother Roloff: 'Do you really believe you've
got to keep all Ten Commandments to go to Heaven?' I sure do, I sure do!
He said: 'Fear God and keep His Commandments!' Now you're going to ask
another question: 'Have you kept the Commandments yourself?' No Sir!
'Are you going to Heaven?' I really am! That'll be my next stop. 'How
you gonna get there, you haven't...?' I met a man called Jesus! And I
said: 'Lord, I'm a sinner, I've broken so many of the Commandments.' And
He said: 'Well, I have Good News for you, I've kept 'em all, and
I've swapped My keeping for your breaking! I said: 'Really?" He said: 'I
really mean it!'”
—Evangelist Lester Roloff (sermon quote, "The
Lost Fear Of God")
I love that! Jesus swapped (imputed)
His perfection for our sinning! Jesus lived a SINLESS life. There has NEVER
been a single Christian since the beginning of time who fell FROM GRACE! Hebrews 4:15, “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Jesus never sinned,
not once, even in thought or word. In order to be acceptable as a sacrifice
for the sins of the world, Jesus had to be complete spotless and without sin
or character blemish. Anyone who alleged that Jesus was a sinner in the
least way is a demonic LIAR!
There have been some very wicked
movies produced which portray Christ as a sinner. One ungodly film is “The
Last Temptation Of Christ” (1988), produced by reprobate Hollywood
director Martin Scorsese. Another ungodly film is “The Da Vinci Code”
(2006), produced by reprobate Hollywood director (and former “Happy Days”
star) Ron Howard. These are ungodly men, who portray the sinless Lamb of God
as a fornicator with Mary Magdalene. It is blasphemy against the Son of God!
Dear reader, Jesus is the perfect, sinless, spotless Lamb of God, Who died
on the cross in our place, suffering the reproach and death of a criminal,
so that we (you and me) sinners who knew no righteousness could be made the
righteousness of God in Him. 2nd Corinthians 5:21, “For he [God the
Father] hath made him [God the Son] to be sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” What a
beautiful Savior, deserving of our utmost praise and worship!!!
JESUS IS ALMIGHTY GOD!!!!!!!
There is No Condemnation
for the Redeemed Believer!
Many
unsaved people who have commit horrible crimes (and consequently have been
sentenced to life in prison), came to their senses as a result and received
Jesus Christ. They have nothing left in this earthly life, except the hope
of eternal life in Jesus Christ (and what a grand hope that is!). I am
reminded of an applicable passage of Scripture...
Matthew 5:29-30, “And if
thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it
is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand
offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell.”
Sometimes as a result of a really
bad situation (and what seemed to be a curse), it actually became the best
thing that ever happened to the person. I am not praising crime, God forbid.
I am simply saying that there are many people serving life in prison, who
never would have come to Jesus Christ had they not lost everything! What is
this short earthly life in comparison to eternity?
Paul McCartney of The Beatles
comes to mind, who I think is a good man as far as men go, who has
everything a man could ever want here on earth (fame, women, friends,
fortune, health, nobility, power), but he is obviously not a child of God.
Paul has made numerous religious statements to the public throughout his
illustrious career, dabbling in everything from atheism to Roman Catholicism
to Hinduism, none of which are Biblical Christianity. What doth it profit a
man if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul in Hell? It is hard
for most people to imagine that a cold-blooded murderer serving life in
prison could go to Heaven, but a pleasant, likable and admirable guy like
Paul McCartney could burn in Hell forever. But that is what the Bible
teaches...
Revelation 20:11-15, “And I
saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the
earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened,
which is the book of life: and the dead were judged
out of those things which were written in the books, according to their
works. And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in
the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
The Great White Throne of Judgment
(which will happen at the end of the 1,000 year Millennium) is only for the
unsaved, “the dead,” the Bible says, great and small. If you are a
born-again Christian, they you are saved BY GRACE! In contrast, Christians
will be judged at the Judgment Seat Of Christ (which happens immediately
following the Rapture). Grace is God giving us what we don't deserve.
Mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve. We are saved by God's
wondrous grace. We deserve to go to Hell. God continually shows the world
mercy by not sending us all to Hell, which we all deserve! The beautiful
thing about salvation is that once you place your trust in the Good News
of Jesus Christ, you are no longer under THE LAW, but are now under GOD'S
GRACE!
I just heard a great quote from
Pastor Danny Castle in a sermon called, “What Will We Do In Heaven?” ...
-
The FIRST heaven you see by DAY!
(blue sky, rain, clouds, wind,
rainbows)
-
The SECOND heaven you see by NIGHT! (stars, moon, constellations,
planets)
-
The THIRD Heaven you see by FAITH! (every believer's home where
our blessed Savior sits on His throne)
SOURCE: Pastor Danny Castle, a helpful quote from the classic sermon, “What
Will We Do In Heaven?”
Only a willful Christ-rejecter is
fallen FROM GRACE, passing up their only ticket to eternal life and Heaven!
They Hebrews 6:4-6, “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God,
and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them
again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh, and put him to an open shame.” Ladies and gentleman, this is the
first group of seeds in Luke 8:12, in whom the Devil removed the Seed of God's Word (Luke 8:11), and they didn't get saved. Notice carefully that
the Bible doesn't say the person in Hebrews 4:4-6 got saved; but rather,
they merely “tasted of the heavenly gift.” They became “enlightened”
to the knowledge of the truth of the Gospel. They “were
made partakers of the Holy Ghost,” simply means that the Holy Spirit
dealt with their heart, convicting them that they should get saved, but they
refused. Tasting of the heavenly gift of eternal life is not the same
as salvation. When you “taste” something, you haven't actually eaten it yet.
Clearly, this passage in Hebrews is about people who hear the Gospel, but
refuse to gladly receive and believe it to be saved.
“Do you know
what 'the spirit of a sound mind' is? This spirit isn't resting on you,
it's resting on the grace of the God you serve, the grace of the God Who
wants to use you!” —Dr. David
Gibbs Jr., a life-changing quote from the 2017 sermon titled, "It's
Time To Reach This World."
Believers Are Under GRACE,
Not Under the LAW
The
following Bible verse speaks concerning the unsaved person, who is still
under THE LAW, which condemns them for their sins. The LAW of God (about
720 Old
Testament commandments) makes all men guilty. Before we were saved, we
were all under the LAW...
Romans 3:19, “Now we know
that what things soever the law saith, it saith to
them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.”
In sharp contrast, the following
Bible verse speaks concerning the Christian, who is no longer under the LAW,
but is now and forever under God's GRACE, which is only through faith in
Christ Jesus...
Romans 6:14-15, “For sin
shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under
the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we
are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”
No Christian has a license to sin,
just because the LAW no longer has the power to condemn us. Albeit, in a
sense we do have a license to sin, in that, no amount of sinning can
ever jeopardize our position in Christ as His redeemed child. Isn't that
precious!
I love what Pastor Ralph “Yankee”
Arnold said in a sermon...
“'You can't tell me you can trust
Christ as Savior, and then go out here and live like the Devil, and still go to
Heaven!' Yes, I can tell you that! That's what the Bible says. If you don't come
to the conclusion, that—Yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior and live like
the Devil, and still go to Heaven when you die—you don't get grace, because that
is the exact truth! That is the truth! I do not have to change my life! I don't
have to stop one sin! You say, 'I've never heard a preacher say that.' You just
heard one! And you listen to me—I want to live as holy and as godly as I
possibly can. I am now 70 years old. I've been saved for 52 years. ... the only
reason I'm going to Heaven is because, 52 years ago in a little living room, I
accepted Christ as my Savior.” —Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, a
great quote from the awesome sermon,
“Calvinism
And Grace Are NOT Compatible |
MP3”
Yes, that is 100% correct!
Dear reader, your manner of life
has absolutely NOTHING to do with going to Heaven! As we just read in Romans
6:15-16, God expects His children to keep the LAW, because WE ARE SAVED, not
to GET SAVED! Romans 3:31, “Do we then make void the law through faith?
God forbid: yea, we establish the law.” So many preachers today are
WRONG on the doctrine of salvation, wrestling these Scriptures to their own
destruction (2nd Peter 3:16-17). I have never seen so much heresy creeping
into independent Baptist churches as I do today. The biggest culprit is
complacency, becoming too relaxed about the truth! Today's biggest Bible
colleges are indifferent toward the purity of the Word of God, indifferent
toward the accuracy of the Gospel, indifferent toward the inspiration of
God's Word! Somebody's got to care! Well I care! Humbly, God uses me for one
reason, because I am willing to be used by Him!!!
God uses sinners! Folks, God only
has sinners to use! We're ALL woeful sinners in God's sight. You're either
under LAW or under GRACE. Which is it for you my friend? I am under GRACE,
through faith in the cross of Calvary! God used murderers to write one-third
of the Holy Bible (Moses, David and Paul). Those were saved men, God's
redeemed children! Listen to the words of the Lord to the self-righteous
religious crowd in Matthew 21:32, “For John came unto you in the way of
righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots
believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye
might believe him.” That is amazing! God is looking for a few redeemed
sinners who are surrendered to serve Him!
I thank God for the hope of the
Gospel!!! The Gospel offers hope to the hopeless. Someone has said that the
word GOSPEL is an acronym for: God Offers
Sinful People Eternal Life.
I like that! Dear friend, do you have the HOPE of eternal life that only the
Gospel offers to all humanity? Titus 1:2, “In hope of
eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the
world began.” As believers we don't merely “hope”; but rather, we HAVE A
BLESSED HOPE of eternal life! Amen!
Literally, most religious people
who are outwardly good, generous and loving, will burn in the Lake of Fire
in eternity, having died in their sins without ever being born-again!
Satan's greatest weapon is to con people into living the Christian life
without ever being born-again!
“There's a lot of bad people who've crept
into the Independent Baptist Movement!”
—Pastor
Anderson: Lame Baptist Churches
Lately I have been revisiting Scripture passages that I often think
about, to study the surrounding text, in order to properly
understand the context of the passage. One of the biggest mistakes
of Bible students, and one of the biggest cause of heresies in many
churches, is quoting a single passage of Scripture by itself,
without taking into consideration the surrounding Bible verses. A
classic example is Galatians 5:4b, “ye are fallen from grace.”
Please notice the
surrounding verses. ...
Galatians 5:2-5,
“Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ
shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that
is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ
is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified
by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through
the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.”
When we view these
Scriptures together, verses two through five, the passage takes on a
MUCH clearer meaning. Circumcision (i.e., the surgical removal of
the foreskin of males) was required under the Mosaic law to be right
with God. It was a ceremonial law for the Jews, which was intended
to be a constant reminder (a sign) that God's people were expected
to be separated from the ungodly world. This was also the purpose of
Jews being forbidden to mix different types of fabrics in their
clothing, or eat certain unclean animals, et cetera. These
ceremonial laws were NEVER required for salvation! The Old Testament
laws reveals God's perfect character. People have always been saved
by grace through faith in Christ! Genesis 15:6, “And he [Abraham]
believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness”
(see
also: Romans 4:1-6). Acts 10:43, “To him give all
the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever
believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”
Beware of Satan
Creeping into Churches
In the church at Galatia,
a satanic cult has infiltrated their group, teaching that
circumcision was necessary to be saved. They taught a “partial faith
in Christ plus works” counterfeit type of gospel. This is identical
to the satanic “wrong
repentance” and “Lordship
Salvation” heresies being taught in many churches today, which
add human effort to God's grace. It is important to notice that whether
circumcision, repenting of sinful behavior or surrendering one's life's
to Christ's Lordship to obey Him, these are ALL THE WORKS OF THE LAW!
Romans 3:19-20, “Now we know that what things
soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that
every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty
before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is
the knowledge of sin.” As we just read, the PURPOSE
of God's law (all 722 of them total) was primarily to GIVE US THE
KNOWLEDGE OF SIN, and never intended as a means to obtain
righteousness with God. When a believer sins (and we all do), we
fall IN GRACE, never FROM GRACE!
So the apostle Paul writes
a loving letter of admonition, rebuke and education to the
Galatians, informing them that they have been woefully deceived by a
religious cult. Paul argues that if circumcision were necessary to
be saved, then a person would also be required to obey all 722
commandments (moral, civil and ceremonial laws total) to be saved.
It would be silly to teach that keeping one particular law is
required, but not all of the laws of God. To the vain and proud
religious man, this counterfeit type of Gospel might sound good, but
Scripturally it is of the Devil.
“The
closer you get to God, the closer you get to the Devil, because that's
where the Devil hangs out!”
—Pastor Danny Castle (a quote from the sermon, “You
Can't Trust Your Feelings! |
MP3”)
The same can be said of Seventh-day
Adventists today. They have literally elevated keeping the
Sabbath Day into a religion all by itself. But if observing the
Sabbath Day is necessary to be saved, then so also would be keeping
722 more civil, moral and ceremonial laws from the Old Testament.
The Jews were forbidden from even lighting a fire on the Sabbath
Day. They were prohibited from collecting sticks. They could not
travel. When Seventh-day Adventists drive to church on Saturday
(i.e., the Old Testament Sabbath Day), they are horribly violating
God's law. When they turn on their stove to make fire on Saturdays,
SDA's are violating God's law. When they do anything on Saturdays,
they are violating God's laws. How silly and ridiculous it is for
SDA's to teach that keeping the Sabbath is necessary to get to
Heaven. Kindly, but truthfully, Seventh-day Adventism is a satanic
religious cult of unsaved reprobates!!!
I do not question
Adventist's sincerity. I believe most SDA's are very sincere. I know
some Adventists, and they are very sweet people (most of them), but
despite my witness of the truth of the Gospel to them, they are
brain-locked with the concept that good works (including keeping the
Sabbath Day) are absolutely required to complete one's profession of
faith. This is NOT the Gospel. SDA's epitomize the truthful saying:
The Devil's greatest weapon is to con people into living the
Christian life without ever being born-again! The ONLY way anyone
has ever been born-again, or will be born-again, is to fully submit
one's self to the righteousness of God (Romans 10:3-4), by placing
one's sole trust in the death, burial and bodily resurrection of the
Lord Jesus Christ (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). There is no other name
by which a person can be saved, than through childlike faith in the
precious name of Jesus (Acts 4:10-12).
Anyone who teaches that a
Christian can lose the salvation which God has given to them by faith is a
LIAR! No child of God has ever fallen FROM GRACE. It is impossible! A child
of God can only fall down IN GRACE. It all boils down to a simple childlike
matter of faith. Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten
Son of God? Are you trusting Him as your personal Savior? I didn't
ask you which religious denomination you belong to. I didn't ask you
if you are living the Christian life. I didn't ask you if you honor
Mary, keep Catholicism's Seven Sacraments (one of which is water baptism).
None of those things produce the new birth! YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!
“The
Devil will put just enough truth, mixed-in with the lie, to get you
messed up!”
—Pastor Danny Castle (a quote from the sermon, “You
Can't Trust Your Feelings! |
MP3”)
The Religious Cult
at Galatia
Keeping in mind what I
have just taught you, please read this passage of Scripture again...
Galatians 5:2-5,
“Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ
shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that
is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ
is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified
by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through
the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.”
Nothing is said in this
passage of Scripture about losing one's salvation. Rather, the
subject at hand is adding the works of the law to faith to be saved,
which is a counterfeit gospel. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the
cross is of no benefit to them who seek justification through
keeping the law. The whole reason why Jesus went to the cross, and
was sacrificed, was because there is NOTHING we can do to reconcile
ourselves to God. We are all ungodly sinners, and would all be
hopelessly lost and on our way to the Lake of Fire, if it were not
for Christ's sacrifice on the cross. THANK GOD FOR THE CROSS!!!
Anyone who is trying to
merit salvation by keeping the law, or even attempting to “help”
save them self by partial faith in Christ plus human effort, is not
saved. They have crucified afresh the Son of God, rejecting His
perfect sacrifice on the cross. The only mindset that a truly
born-again believer can have is this:
I am nothing but
a hopeless guilty sinner in the flesh, but my faith is 100% in Jesus
Christ alone, because of what He did to pay for my sins on the cross, by
the precious blood that He shed for me. Christ was buried and three days
later He bodily resurrected from the dead. This is my total, complete
and only hope for forgiveness of sins and eternal life! This is “THE
GOSPEL” (GOOD NEWS)!!!
Jesus doesn't forgive sin,
He has already paid for our sins with His precious blood.
Forgiveness of sins is a free gift. Jesus has already paid for
everyone's sins. Anyone can have eternal life, just for the taking,
by faith. God can read your mind. The very second that God sees
you've placed your confidence in Christ's sacrifice on the cross for
your sins, trusting God at His Word that Jesus was buried, and then
raised up physically three days later, you are immediately,
securely, irrevocably and forever saved. It is that simple. John
6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might
work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This
is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” If
you'll take God on the authority of His Word, and believe on Him, He
has promised “TO SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE” (1st Corinthians 1:21b).
The only way to “FALL FROM
GRACE” is to try to enter into Heaven “SOME OTHER WAY.” John
10:1, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some
other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” John 10:9,
“I am the door: by me if any man enter
in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” There
is ONLY one door into Heaven, through the Good News (i.e.,
Gospel) of the Lord Jesus Christ!!! My only hope for righteousness
is by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ; and not by any works of
the law, nor by turning from sins, nor by surrendering to Christ's
Lordship, nor by any other false way. The churches are in trouble
today. Satan has crept into most of the churches already—through the
falsehoods of televangelists, fake Bible versions, corrupt religious
colleges, thousands of ungodly religious books, et cetera. Have you
been deceived?
“One fella said,
'The reason so many people go to the movies and nobody goes to church,
is 'cause the movies do a real good job of making fake look real, and
the church does a real good job of making real look fake! Amen to that
buddy, amen to that! We got the real thing and we do a pretty good job
of making it look fake, don't we?” —Pastor Danny Castle (a
quote from the sermon, “You Can't
Trust Your Feelings! |
MP3”)
A Christian Believer ALWAYS Falls IN
GRACE, Never FROM GRACE!
Remember, a believer who
sins (and we ALL do every day), only falls IN GRACE, never FROM
GRACE. Romans 5:20, “Moreover the law entered, that the offence
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound.” The unsaved person is still under
the curse of God's LAW, condemned already. Ah, but the dear saint of
God is under God's free GRACE. All of the false prophets today, like
Paul Washer, Ray Comfort and John MacArthur, who require turning
away from sinful behavior to receive the free gift of God, are not
teaching GRACE! Anything other than grace
alone is NOT grace! Romans 11:6a, “And if by
grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace...” The
moment that anyone adds the slightest addition to the Gospel of
grace, it ceases to be grace.
If you think that the life you are
living on earth
can affect your eternal life, then you don't get grace!!! As Jonah
rightly pondered in the belly of the whale in Jonah 2:9b,
“SALVATION IS OF THE LORD.” No believer can ever fall from
grace, it is impossible. When we sin (and we ALL still do because we
are human), we fall IN GRACE! Once a person has eternal life, which
is the gift of God, they can NEVER lose it!!!
Here's a wonderful
poem authored by Pastor Danny Castle about the three stages of life; It's
called “NO ROOM FOR JESUS” . . .
NO ROOM FOR JESUS...
No room for Jesus when I'm young
and free,
No time for the church, or a Bible for me;
No room for Jesus when I'm a grown man,
I'm busy making a living, doing the best I can.
No room for Jesus, when I'm old
and gray,
I've lived good enough, I'll make it my way;
Now as the time comes to die for me,
only it is now I am beginning to see,
When at Heaven's gates I stand and plea:
What a fool I've been, they'll be no room for me.
SOURCE:
Pastor Danny Castle; from the awesome sermon titled,
Do You Have Room For
Jesus?
Dear reader, a
born-again believer can only fall “IN GRACE,” never “FROM GRACE.” Romans 5:20, “Moreover the law entered, that the offence
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound.” Whenever we have sinned as
redeemed children of God, “GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND.” God's limitless
grace reaches deeper than the lowest sin that a Christian can commit! There
is no stain of sin so great that the precious blood of Jesus cannot wash it
completely away!
God's GRACE is
freely available to the most hopeless drug addict on the street—whose body
has been abused, wearied and broken with immoral sex, drug needles and
puss-filled sores from infected. God loves you and offers His GRACE, through
faith in the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ crucified on the cross, buried
and bodily risen the third day. The Christian believer falls IN GRACE, when
we sin (and we ALL do every day), because we are eternally safe and secure
with the arms of our heavenly Father underneath! Deuteronomy 33:27, “The
eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before
thee; and shall say, Destroy them.” Eternal life is the believer's
assurance of salvation! Eternal security is not a separate doctrine from
eternal life, they are one and the same thing! John 6:47, “Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
