Eternal Security in Christ Part 5.
We have entered into his rest.
The reason why believers in Jesus Christ can never lose their eternal salvation is because the holy justice of God has been fully satisfied in Christ Jesus our Savior at the cross.
This means that at the cross, Jesus Christ our Savior paid the full price for all our sins by his one-time sacrificial death on the cross for us.
Now because we have been justified by God (declared righteous by Him) because of our faith in His Son The Lord Jesus Christ we have now entered into his holy rest.
Those who are unsaved, false teachers, false prophets, and those who are ignorant of the word of God, are trying to work for their salvation.
But for those of us who believe in Jesus we are the true children of God (Galatians 3:26) (1 John 5:1) (John 1:12). We simply take Jesus at his word and we believe on him for eternal life. Yes, we believe in the name of The Only Begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18) (John 20:31).
Yes, we rest in Jesus. Yes, we rest in his holy finished work of the cross (John 19:30). God wants you to rest in your salvation the unbelievers, false prophets, and false teachers want you to work for your salvation.
Dear believer in Christ rest in your salvation. Yes, rest in the holy finished work of the cross. Christ wants you to rest in him knowing your salvation is forever secure in him The Eternal Only Begotten Son of God (Hebrews 7:24-27) (1 John 5:11-13).
For we believe in the risen Christ the risen Savior who is our risen Lord (1 Corinthians 15) (Luke 24:5-7, 34, 45-47) (Matthew 28:5-7) (Mark 16:5-7) (John 21:14) (Acts 17:1-3) (Galatians 1:1) (1 Thessalonians 1:10).
God is not in the business of giving you temporary salvation people of the world. When God saves you through Christ, he saves you instantaneously and everlastingly.
For we believe in the living eternal God, a God of whom cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18). So, did God promise eternal life to all those who will believe in His Son Jesus Christ? Yes, he did. Well he will do just what he promised.
The sad part is God wants you to rest in Jesus His Son and in his holy finished work accomplished at the cross for you, but false prophets and teachers want you to work for your salvation.
So, God says rest in His Son Jesus and false prophets say work, Religion says do Jesus says done (John 19:30) All a sinner must do to be saved by God is to believe on Jesus for eternal life.
It's that simple. Faith in Jesus alone saves. The bible teaches us that when you believe in Jesus Gods Son for your eternal salvation He saves you and grants you everlasting life immediately
(John 3:14-18) (John 5:24) (John 6:40, 47) (John 20:31) (Luke 7:50) (Acts 4:12) (1 John 5:11-13).
God is so good to us his children in that Christ did all the work on the cross, but you rest.
All we do is believe on Christ The Savior The Holy Son of God for our salvation and when we do, we're saved everlastingly by a loving gracious and merciful God. How can this be one may ask?
And it is because we have entered into his holy rest everlastingly the very moment we believed in Jesus. Read (Hebrews 4:1-10) for further study.
