You're not getting eternal life till you die.
You're not dead yet.
You only have eternal life IN JESUS.
If a person stops believing in Jesus ,,, he is no longer IN JESUS and he will not see eternal life at the end.
Paul said this:
Romans 8:24-25
24For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
25But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
Jesus said it like this:
John 15:5-6
5“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
6“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
If we abide in Jesus we are IN JESUS.
If we do NOT abide in Jesus we are like the branches that are thrown away, dry up, gathered, and burned.
lol
well... uhhh no
1 John 5:13-15
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
there are two sorts of brances here
branches that bare fruit
"
every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit"
"He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit"
and branches that do not bare fruit
"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned"
"As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself"
this is largely an example of the power of CHRIST in His own
compared to the lack of power in fakers
dont you understand when this is being said?
what judas already did and what was about to happen?
but this has NOTHING to do with the loss of salvation to a saved believer
and MUCH to do with two
separate types of men in the same congregation of "believers" (in Him)
