I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes,
and you will keep My judgments and do them.

hey @JadenS would disobedience to this NT command count as persevering to the end, in your book?
You talk jibberish!
this reminds me of a spiritual song i love:
https://leper.bandcamp.com/track/gibberish
sorry there's not embed-able video of this on the internet..
it's just Skott Shaw and his acoustic guitar on an open mike somewhere. he's the singer/songwriter of probably the best Christian 'goth' style band that exists these days. if you like that sort of thing, follow the link - or else, here are the lyrics:
"some say the words and they mean nothing
some say the words and make no sense
some say the words and they mean everything
some say the words in gibberish
some say the words and they sound beautiful
some say the words are not relevant
some say the words and they sound elegant
some say the words in gibberish
some say the words and they make everything okay
some say the words and they make sense
some say the words and they hurt everyone
some say the words are gibberish
some say the words and they mean something
some say the words and they make sense
some say the words and they make everything okay
sometimes the words aren't gibberish
sometimes the words are not gibberish"
what do y'all think are the words he's singing about?

Matthew 18:17
And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
yay! amen!
wait, it is God's gift, it's paid for, it will always stand, you can't lose it if it's not yours --
-- but you can walk away from it because it's not your possession?
didn't you just say you can't lose something that's not yours?
didn't you just say it is God's gift?
didn't you just say it will always stand?
are you saying Jesus is the one who received salvation, not us?
who/what exactly is redeemed by Jesus, in your estimation?
thanks
Wait, wait, wait........ hold on @JadenS and @IFOLLOWHIM and everyone,
It's okay for everyone to have an opinion. Only what God says is True. Give everyone some space and try not to belittle or attack. If we continue to not agree then, just let each other be. God will correct and instruct His children. He's a loving Father.
Much love to all of you, in Yeshua/Jesus' Name, amen.

yay! me too!
can you give me an example from scripture that says "God has never and will never impose His will on any human being" ?
i can find a thousand memes that say that, but i can't think of anywhere in the scripture that idea could legitimately come from.
thanks!
delight yourself in the LORD,
and He will give you the desires of your heart
(Psalm 37:4)
some people wildly abuse this verse, in the context of the infamous 'prosperity gospel' there is something pretty interesting here though, in what it is actually saying:
God gives us the desires of our heart when we delight ourselves in Him.
when we delight ourselves in Him, rather than delighting ourselves in what we desire we seek His desires, and reject whatever desires are found in our hearts that don't align with His.
so when we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart.
when we delight ourselves in Him, His desires are all the desires that remain in our heart.
when our heart desires His will, He gives us the desires of our heart.
He does all His will.
John 10:28
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
