Right,all that the Father has given to Christ,He shall lose not any of them,but many are called,but few are chosen.
No person says Jesus is Lord except by the Spirit,for there are many that claim Jesus as Lord,but many are called,but few are chosen.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
These people claimed Jesus as Lord,for they were called,but not chosen,for their lifestyle did not reflect a Christ like lifestyle,but they were workers of iniquity.
How does a person know that they were chosen,especially if they reflect these faults in their lifestyle,that God says they are not right with Him.
People that claim a person cannot abstain from sin,and we will sin for we are not perfect,and human,will fall victim to a lifestyle that is not right with God,and they try to take away responsibility from the believer.
Paul,faith alone,not saved by works,when we initially come to Jesus,James,faith without works is dead,and a person is justified by works,and not faith alone,after a person has received the Spirit,2 different situations,no contradiction,but they want to drag faith alone,and not saved by works,throughout the time they are claiming Jesus as Lord,and they become relaxed in their walk with God.
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
If any person thinks I cannot fall,take heed lest you fall,and I do not believe that a lot of people that claimed Christ as Lord even got it right,but were relaxed right from the get go.
1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Love not the world,or the things in the world,the using of money for wants,and material things,and the things of it that are not of God,and that cost money while people are in need for their needs.If anyone loves the world,and the things in it,they are not of the Father.
Which that is what I see among many that have that relaxed lifestyle,taking away responsibility of the believer,that they are worldly,which God said that will be a popular condition of the end time,along with hypocrisy to not abstain from fleshy lusts,and act like Christ.
1Jn 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1Ti 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Paul,James,and John,say the same thing,if you neglect the poor,and needy,you do not have faith,you err from the truth,and the love of God does not dwell in you,and if any person believes God blesses with money,and material things,withdraw yourself from them,having food,and clothing,be content,for the love of money is the root of all evil,for it neglects the poor and needy,which is not love,for love of people is the fulfilling of the law,and that is what it is all about,for the kingdom of God is based on love.
But there are millions of people that have that relaxed lifestyle that will benefit themselves with money,and material things,and neglect the poor,and needy.If we are spending our money on wants,and not only our needs,and the needs of other is we can,then we are not relecting the kingdom of God to the world,which by the Spirit the kingdom of God is within you,and if that is the case why does it not get reflected by a lot claiming Christ.
And also by the Spirit we can abstain from sin,because it is not that we cannot abstain from sin,but we want to sin,for it is the tree of good and evil,so we have a choice and are not forced to sin,and even the world can abstain from sin,as they choose what sins they like,and what sins they do not like.
A person led by the Spirit makes the choice to not want to sin,therefore they can abstain from sin by the Spirit,for God will not allow them to be tempted above measure,and will give them a way out of the temptation,and the Spirit will lead them to do good.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
1Pe 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Pe 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
There is no excuse for why we cannot abstain from sin,for we sin because we want to sin,not because we cannot abstain from sin,for how did some in the world be able to abstain from not cheating on their spouse,not doing drugs,etc,and how much more can we abstain from all sin by the Spirit.If the world can abstain from sin,not liking it,how does the saints not be able to abstain from sins.
Faith alone,not saved by works,we cannot abstain from sin,create an attitude that is relaxed in their walk with Jesus,and they do not measure up to the proper lifestyle they should have to be right with God.
For many are called,but few are chosen
