Eternal Security in Christ Part 4.
By His Doing we are saved everlastingly.
1 Corinthians 1:30 (NASB)
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
By His doing Jesus is the wisdom from God
By His doing you are declared righteous
By his doing you are the righteousness of God in Christ
By his doing you are declared sanctified and have sanctification
By his doing you have redemption
Not by your doing do you have the wisdom from God
Not by your doing do you have the righteousness of God
Not by your doing do you have the sanctification of God
Not by your doing do you have redemption
Yes, By His Jesus’ doing I have redemption I am redeemed and will be saved by God. How is this possible? The Scriptures tell us it is By His doing.
Why? Because you and I as believers Are In Christ Jesus. Read 1 Corinthians 1:30 again very slowly. For this revelation by The Spirit of God is truly Amazing!
The Bible says, "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." (Romans 4:5).
The Bible says, “For God so loved the world That he gave his Only Begotten Son Jesus that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
This means we do not work for our own salvation. The Bible condemns and fiercely opposes works-based salvation. Again, I say unto you we are not saved by the doing of our good deeds and or works (Ephesians 2:8-9) (Romans 4:5).
Our job is just to believe in the One who justifies the ungodly.
Who is He that justifies us? It is Christ Jesus our Lord and He saves all those eternally and everlastingly when they believe in Him (John 3:16, 36) (John 6:40) (Acts 16:30-31).
Believe On The Son thou shall never perish, and thou shall have everlasting life. Now why should you believe in Him one may ask? It is because you are saved from the eternal penalty of all your sins by his finished work on that cross for you. You’re not saved by your good deeds, works, or performance, you’re saved by his great sacrifice at the cross for you. Remember what the word of God says, “But by His Doing (1 Corinthians 1:30).” In other words, the price for your eternal salvation has already been paid for by Jesus himself shedding his life’s blood for you at that cross (Ephesians 1:7) (Colossians 1:13-14) (1 Timothy 2:4-6) (1 John 2:1-2). The work of Christ on that cross for your eternal redemption is perfect and it is already finished (John 19:30). Therefore, this means there is nothing you can add to his sacrifice to make you any more secured. Therefore, If you are a believer in Christ you are saved by him already and your eternal salvation is secure in Him The Eternal Christ forever and you can never be lost. And why can’t I never lose my salvation one may ask? It is because you are not saved by your works or by your own doing, You are saved By His Doing! And He your loving Savior and Redeemer will see to it that you are saved. Do you understand this revelation now? For it is amazing indeed! I can’t save myself for I am not good enough in it of myself nor am I the savior, therefore I shall place my faith in The Eternal Christ alone who is The Savior of sinners and He saves me graciously by my faith in Him. Why? It is because it is By His Doing that I’m saved. Jesus alone did all the work for me for my salvation at the cross, therefore I shall praise Him and give him all the glory and credit for my eternal salvation. Yes, I shall love Him my loving Savior now and forevermore for the free grace and forgiveness he has shown me at the cross.
Summary here below.
By His doing we are saved eternally by Jesus The Savior and can never lose our eternal salvation.
Our job is just to believe On The Son. And when we believe On The Son we shall never perish and shall have everlasting life.
