WHERE DOES YOUR HOPE LIE ? Aug 27, 2008 4:24 pm
1612 Views
On a previous post, I asked the question " Just How many ? ". The question dealt with, how many times can a person be saved. The obvious answer of course is ONCE. Yet even though some people voted once ( meaning you can only be saved once ), they still believe " Once saved, always saved " is a false teaching, or worse still; that the Bible also teaches " Once saved, you could be re-lost "( the notion that the Bible teaches both views ).

I'm afraid that there are many people here at BC, whose hope is in the wrong thing ( mainly themselves ), and they haven't really come to faith, in Christ alone for their salvation.

" a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time "

The word HOPE in our English dictionaries means: aspiration, desire, wish, ambition, aim, or goal. However, the use of the word HOPE in the Biblical context, doesn't mean wishful thinking or a mere desire for something. Instead, the word HOPE in the Christian context is based upon , the certain outcome which is grounded in the finished redemptive work of Christ.

Get that ? THE FINISHED REDEMPTIVE WORK OF CHRIST !!

Groups like the so-called Seventh Day Adventist, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, are clearly off track when it comes to understanding what true HOPE is. But there are also many other groups; that are closer to home, which also have no real understanding of the Christian's HOPE. These other groups; are actually just as guilty, of teaching a hopeless form of Christianity as the cult groups are.

God's Love endures FOREVER, says the psalmist David ( Ps. 118: 29 ) and the Apostle Paul agrees, when he says there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God ( Rom. 8: 35-39 ).For those who say they believe in Christ; but think they can be re-lost ( never to be saved again ); are committing the shameful act, of counting the death of Christ as an unholy thing, who deliberately keep sinning ( by trying to top what Christ has already done ) working at keeping the law, and laying a foundation of dead works. ( see the Book of Hebrews ).

Suggesting that if its true, that all of the believers sins have been forgiven ( past, present, and future ), then the Christian can just go on sinning; proves that these people have no real sense of the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, eternal life, grace or mercy. After all, if Eternal life can be stopped ( or altered in any way ); then it wasn't really Eternal to begin with.

Wake up people!!
