="ChristRoseFromTheDead, post: 5433535, member: 334825"]"Fallen in love" is a soulish expression. Those who truly love God do his works and commandments.
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe into him whom he has sent. John 6:29
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 5:3
[/QUOTE] it isn't an expression it's a real thing when you can honestly say your heart melts for him you will understandIf we think that we can perish. We can't call ourselves one of His sheep.
He explicitly tells His sheep.....they will never perish.
None of us are good enough........But we have Christ in us! And we are sealed with this very same seal.......
John 6:27
Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”
Will God ever break that seal? NOPE/NEVER.

I do not believe it is written anywhere, and I agree with you!
There is only one way to the Father and it is through Jesus Christ.

Starting out with who the sheep are of whom Christ was speaking:
Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (The Lord's instructions to His disciples.)
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
So, in the Gospels, the only sheep mentioned are Israelites and proselytes to Judaism, not the Gentiles since the Church did not yet exist at that time.
As to the path, one of which led to a straight gate leading to life:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
The other path:
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Does that help?

How you doing, are you perfect, do you not ever sin anymore ever? Just asking? If you are now perfect and do not ever sin anymore ever again, we all here need to be revealed how? At least me, I know I need God to do God's done work of his love and mercy through me, in risen Son and God does do that, yet I get back in the way and think I got it, Yet I do not, and fail. Which now is a great reminder I need God to lead not me.
Please inquiring minds want to know and be saved also, seeing it seems you be the only one that has got this. Time to share please thank you

I don't speak for those folks who disbelieve in everlasting salvation, but I can certainly point out a difference between the Kingdom Gospel and the Gospel of Grace:
Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
This is one major item the lost salvation people don't like hearing. It pains their case to admit that the believing Jews in Jerusalem were still keeping the Law of Moses...at least those portions not fulfilled by the Blood of Christ. Paul was instructed by James and the elders of the Jerusalem Church to keep the Law in that place, at the temple, in the sight of all the people. At the same time, the Gentiles were not required to do any such thing, as is also confirmed in Acts 15.
So, the idea that it's all one happy gospel...no! It is not.
