I Know That I Know That I Know

One of my favorite Bible doctrines is that of Eternal Security. Sometimes referred to as "once saved, always saved". I firmly believe that is true for a variety of reason that we simply do not have time nor space to deal with here. But, if you would like more information, please email and I would be happy to comply. Now, here are a couple of points that are especially meaningful to me. Eternal Security gives me a sense of peace that regardless of the fact that I still have a sin nature, judicially I will never stand before God the Judge and be condemned to hell. Rom 8:1 says "There is therefore now, no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus...". My daily sin will hinder my fellowship with my Heavenly Father, but it can never sever my relationship with Him. Since I had nothing to do with obtaining my salvation, other than to receive my free gift, there is nothing that I can do to negate it. It wasn't my sins that I committed that had condemned my to hell, it was my sin nature that had separated me from God. Eph 2:1 tells me that I was dead in trespasses and sin until He gave me life. Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:3 that "ye must be born again". Later, He would say that whosoever believes has "everlasting life". If it starts and stops and starts again, then it is not everlasting. I know that those who oppose this doctrine say it gives a person a license to sin, but that is certainly not the case.
II Cor 5:17 tells us "Therefore, if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new". In other words, we have a change in life. So, without hesitation I can say that I know that I know that I am on my way to Heaven - as a free gift from God Himself. Are You?
