ITS A SATANIC LIE THAT CHRISTIANS CAN LOSE THEIR SALVATION
IT IS A LIE OF SATAN THAT
CHRISTIANS CAN LOSE THEIR SALVATION Brothers
and sisters, thanks be to God that He has given us His Word so that we can know
and understand the absolute truth and great love that He has given us through
the atonement of His Son, Jesus Christ God the Son of God with invincible
power. I love you and thank God for your patience with me as we dine together
at the Lords table. I pray continually that your faith shall stand unwavering through
the understanding and knowledge of God so that spiritual waters shall flow out
of your bellies and that when you speak, your words shall flow out and be even
as the oracles of God: Jhn 7:38 - He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.1Pe 4:11 - If any man speak, let
him speak as the oracles of God; if any
man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all
things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and
ever. Amen.Lord Jesus keep us your people in remembrance that we are in
the world but not of this present evil world. Through faith in you and the will of God our
Father we are made even according to scripture: 1Co 3:16 - Know
ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you?1Co 3:17 - If any
man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1Pe 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are
built up a spiritual house, an
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Brothers and sisters, when we study evil, the devil, Judas Iscariot who
betrayed Jesus, or evil people in general, invariably the question arises and
some teach in error that those who were once saved can lose their salvation by
deliberately turning away, rejecting God. This question comes up amongst
believers due to faulty- misinterpretation of scripture, failure to understand the
New Covenant of Jesus Christ within the context of both covenants and the
scriptures as a whole or just plain ignorance due to lack of teaching. However, we know
that the righteous will believe the truth/receive correction, but the wicked
never will, no matter how long or often they hear the truth. Can a born-again Christian lose their salvation? When
this question comes up, dearly beloveds, we must first ask those that raise
this question CAN GOD LIE, deceive or make mistakes? THE EXPECTED AND ONLY CORRECT ANSWER IS NO. GOD IS
ABSOLUTE TRUTH- GOD ABSOLUTELY CANNOT LIE, DECEIVE, NOR EVER MAKE MISTAKES OF
ANY MANNER OR KIND WHATSOEVER. What does God teach about His forgiveness of sins in the New
Covenant of Jesus Christ, God the Son of God with power? Jer 31:34 - And they
shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every
man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from
the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the
LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their
sin no more. Isa 43:25 - I, even I, am he that
blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy
sins. Psa
103:11 - For as the heaven is high above the
earth, so great is his mercy toward them
that fear him.Psa
103:12 - As far as the east is from the west, so far
hath he removed our transgressions from us. Mic 7:19 - He
will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our
iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of
the sea.Heb
10:17 - And their sins and iniquities will
I remember no more. We know there are those
who claim in error that through their personal experience that they know
someone or people who were once devout Christians who fell away, or that the
Bible teaches an authentic Christian can fall away. However, the Bible is of no
private interpretation. Jesus is absolute, exhaustive/explicit in His teaching:
Jesus is the Sower, who only sows good seed: Mat 13:37-43,
Mat 7:18- A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
1Jo 3:5 - And ye
know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1Jo 3:5 - And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1Jo 3:6 - Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
John takes it even further: 1Jo 3:9 - Whosoever is
born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he
cannot sin, because he is born of God.By seed this
means Jesus
Christ is the seed.The
seed, again meaning Jesus Christ Himself, who is incorruptible and lives in every believer
with God the Father and sealed by the Holy Ghost who also lives in the believer:Col 1:13 - Who hath
delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of
his dear Son: Col 1:14 - In whom we
have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of
sins: Eph
4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of
God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.Heb 10:18 - Now where remission of
these is, there is no more offering for sin. Jde 1:24 - Now unto
him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
present you faultless before
the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, We know
from scripture that God never permits anyone claiming to be His to run amok
sinning without repentance, doing and living whatever way they want in
opposition to His commands: 1Co 11:32 - But when we
are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.God
tries, proves, tests and lovingly disciplines all that are His: Heb 12:7 - If ye
endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with
sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 - But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are
ye bastards, and not sons. Some will say what
about the verse that says there will be a great falling away at the end time;
or the verse that says that if a person falls away it’s impossible to restore
their salvation; or the verse that says only those who endure to the end will
be saved? Such verses teach people to know whether or not they are false or
genuine Christians. Now there are those who know the truth that they are false
Christians, but chose to deceive themselves because they love darkness more
than God. When we read: Mar 13:13 - And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Do we see this to mean in error that we can get to the end and God will change
His mind about us and cast us away instead of in truth understanding that when
we make it to the end we can be completely assured that God will be faithful to
receive us as He has promised? All the promises of God are yes and Amen. The new
creation has the mind of Christ, is sealed by the Holy Ghost and obeys God out
of love and trust in Him not fear of punishment.When
any person
unrepentantly refuses to believe the truth of God that person is calling the God
for whom it is impossible to lie, a liar. This is BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST:
Mat 12:32 - And whosoever speaketh a
word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it
shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to
come.God anointed and Sealed Lord Jesus and God anoints and seals all
believers forever Jhn 6:27;
2Co 1:21-24.
All believers have eternal salvation and eternal life. There is not one
word in the Bible that refers to eternal salvation or eternal life as temporal
or temporary. Temporal or temporary in the Bible refers solely to the natural world
never to the kingdom of God which is referred to as eternal throughout the whole
of scripture.Mat
12:36 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they
shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment.Mat
12:37 - For by thy words thou
shalt be justified, and by thy words thou
shalt be condemned.We
know and God makes it absolutely clear, His commands are not suggestions. The
kingdom of God is a theocracy not a democracy open to the will and rule of mere
men. God commands that the whole gospel be believed and accepts no in
betweeners, half in and half outers-those believing a part but never the whole
gospel of Jesus Christ. Ecumenism is forbidden by God as well as fellowship
with any who unrepentantly rejects the whole of scripture.COME OUT FROM
AMONGST THEM: Co 6:14 - Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness? 2Co
6:15 - And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel?2Co
6:16 - And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I
will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people.2Co 6:17 - Wherefore come out from among them, and be
ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I
will receive you,2Co 6:18 - And will
be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty. Love and truth forever, serola

DINNER WITH JESUS CHRIST
Brothers and sisters, let
us the holy family of God and priests give our continual fervent love, thanks
and praise offerings to Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God with power, Saviour,
Mediator, High Priest, though whom we have received the everlasting atonement
and the free gift of Grace, through faith in His name, and not by any good
works that we have done: Eph 2:8 - For by
grace are
ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 - Not of works, lest any
man should boast.Yet amongst the
multitude of faithful there are those who willfully boast on their salvation
being derived through mere men and or their own good works knowing that God
warns throughout scripture: Gal 1:8 But though we, or an
angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you, let him
be accursed. Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say
I now again, If any man preach any
other gospel unto
you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 2Jo 1:10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 2Jo 1:11 For he that
biddeth him God speed is partaker of
his evil deeds. Partaker: to enter into fellowship, join
oneself as an associate, make oneself a sharer or partner: Evil deeds: bad, of a
bad nature or condition; in a physical sense: diseased or blind; in an ethical
sense: evil wicked, bad. Rev 22:18 - For I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of
the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall
add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book: Rev 22:19 - And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God shall take away his part out
of the book of life, and out
of the holy city, and from the
things which are written in this book. God warns us, even the
whole world that there is only
one absolutely true unchanging eternal gospel and it is laid out clearly
in the New
Covenant and confirmed within both
the New and Old Testaments within the whole context of scripture from beginning
to end. No one has any authority from God to add or subtract from His word. Unbelief, the condition of the
people-anyone- whose hearts and minds unrepentantly reject the truth of scriptures
continually echoing throughout eternity by the preaching of those sent by God
and written in His absolute inerrant word. We know, dearly beloveds,
that we can do nothing without Jesus, absolutely nothing. We can only feed the
world and one another with the Word of God. Please don’t neglect the many
scriptures you will find accompanying these studies. Let us dine fully at the
Lord’s table, only He can guarantee us a full spiritually nourishing and
healthy meal to satisfy and strengthen our spirits, hearts and minds. I love
you all so much and you are in my heart and prayers early and often. I thank
God our Father for you and your patience as we dine together at the Lord’s
table separately yet tethered together in spirit forever as one in Jesus in God
our Father. Those who truly love and
trust in Jesus know He is utterly faithful and loves us with an undying love. Therefore,
we humbly submit to His will and loving authority knowing that He desires only the
very best for us. Jhn 14:23 - Jesus answered and said unto
him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will
love him, and we will
come unto him, and make our abode with him. Jhn 14:24 - He
that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and
the word which ye
hear is not mine, but the
Father's which sent me. It’s all so easy to
understand, holy brethren, no need for deep psychoanalysis. The evidence of our
love for God is through obedience to Him in love and trust that God’s way is
the only right way and the only right way is God’s way, for He is the narrow
gate, and the straight path, He is the resurrection and He is the eternal life.
And all who believe in Him have complete assurance that when we also love our
brothers and sisters we have passed from death to life: 1Jo 3:14 - We
know that we have
passed from death unto life, because we
love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. When we comprehend the
eternal absolute holiness and goodness of God, we comprehend the horrible nature,
depravity, corruption, and bottomless defilement of evil which gives us the
understanding of God’s hatred of sin and wrath towards those who reject His Son
Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, God is merciful and long-suffering desiring that
none should perish: 2Pe 3:9. God the Father for
whom it is impossible to lie, who cannot lie, before He created the world
promised eternal life knowing Adam
would sin, Satan would rebel, Cain would kill Abel, and that after destroying
the world by the flood would through Noah repopulate the world: Tit 1:2-3. Nevertheless the love of
God burned without flicker or diming, and He gave assurances to Abraham and the
promise of His
New Covenant declaring: Gen 15:5 - And
he brought him forth abroad, and
said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the
stars, if thou
be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy
seed be. Gen 15:6 - And
he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness. Thy seed
meaning: Gal 3:16 - Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He
saith not, And to
seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to
thy seed, which is Christ. There are those who
twist the Bible to lie and state just a few people will be saved, destroying
the faith and hope of the gullible. However, let us trust the infallible
absolute truth of Jesus Christ the Son of God for as it was promised to Father
Abraham in the beginning so it comes to pass Rev 7:9 - After this I
beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with
white robes, and palms in their hands; So, we see at the end not just a mere handful of
righteous people saved, but a number too great to be counted.
I know I am among many who find when street witnessing the great numbers of
people desperate, and hungry to know how to be saved, who believe the truth
when they hear it and are saved thereby. God commands us to share the word, not be pew
sitters, although we should not abandon meeting together to fellowship
regularly. God, who needs no one is
sufficient in and of Himself. He created time but cannot be bound by time,
space, nor distance foreknew how mankind would continually rebel, sin, falter,
and slay His only begotten Son Lord Jesus Christ- still He never withheld His
love nor mercy for John the Baptist declared: Jhn 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus voluntarily out of
love for God and all men gave His sinless life to pay for the sins of all who
believe in Him. Breaking bread, or
dining with others is amongst one of the most intimate acts that people do.
Imagine dining with someone who hates you, sleeps in the same dwelling with you
and is around you much of the day. Jesus loved all of His disciples to the end
even Judas Iscariot. Jesus kept Judas with Him the whole time of His earthly
ministry with the other disciples. Jesus knew Judas was a devil, a thief, knew
he would betray Him. Jesus
did all that He could to save and keep Judas out of hell. Judas saw the
miracles Jesus did, heard the gospel from Jesus directly along with the other
disciples. Jesus gave Judas the money bag, sent him with the other disciples to
preach the gospel, and gave him power along with the other disciples. Jesus
never threw Judas out. Jesus never failed to warn
Judas of the consequences that would result if he betrayed Him: Mat 26:24-25.
Jesus even washed the feet of Judas as He washed the feet of the other
disciples. It was after this that
Judas sealed by satan his real father had the gall to go out to betray Jesus:
See Jhn 13. However,
after the resurrection of our Lord His remaining disciples would be filled and
sealed forever with the Holy Ghost and be empowered to carry out their
appointed apostleship’s in laying the foundation of Christ, the Rock of the New
Covenant by preaching the gospel in the world, making disciples, and
establishing the church-the body of Christ in whom Christ lives with God the
Father and sealed by the Holy Ghost forever in this world and the world to come. Love and truth forever,

DINNER WITH JESUS CHRIST
Brothers and sisters, as the Lord’s family of priests
let us give abundant love and thank offerings to Jesus Christ our Saviour,Mediator, High Priest of the New Covenant, sent by the will and good
pleasure of God our Father and His Witness God the Holy Ghost, for He is worthy
of our worship and praise, even as God our Father is Worshipped.God declares in His word we can do nothing without
Jesus and should not desire to do anything without his approval and blessings. Much
love blessings and peace to you, holy brethren, in the name of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ who is with and in us to help us daily in our walk in, by,
through and to Him. Let us regularly with patient persistence feed carefully on
the Good News of the gospel to nourish, Jhn 6:63,
grow in grace and strengthen our spirits, hearts, and minds continually. When Jesus
declared: Jhn 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of
man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Many who heard Him thought He had become unhinged and
many departed from Him. We have some today that see His declaration as
outrageous and impossible. The simple
eternal truth is that Jesus will not negotiate, bargain, cut a deal, accept
excuses, or make any exceptions because those claiming to be His must believe all that
the prophets and apostles have declared of Him without exception. There are
always many faithful, however, we find that there are some who don’t believe Jesus is the High
Priest of the New Covenant; Some don’t believe that His atonement
gives eternal salvation as declared throughout scripture. Some don’t believe
He is God
the Son equal to the Father omniscient,
omnipresent, and omnipotent. Some don’t believe He is the Head of the church,
believing in error He is stuck in heaven, and have put men in charge of His
church, until He returns. This is not
addressing those who are ignorant or untaught in scripture, but those claiming
to know and understand it: 2Ti 3:5 Having a
form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away. As we continue with the study of the woman and her
costly ointment, we remember and understand that she lavished it on Him in true
repentance as the real object of value, and therefore gave the best that she
had to employ and express her utter gratitude for His offering of Himself to
obtain eternal forgiveness for all that believe in Him. The off the chart
wicked person doing horrifying things is the picture of evil we easily
recognize, yet the evil person can appear so ordinary and deceptively none
threatening. There is no way to move forward with this study without
understanding that Jesus did not want to lose any of His disciples. Jesus knew
Judas was a thief who would betray Him when He chose him as one of His disciples.
Furthermore, Jesus didn’t pick His disciples randomly, He received all of them
given to Him by God the Father. Matthew, Mark and Luke gave the time line of two days
before the Passover; however John’s rendering
of this story takes place earlier and the setting is not in Simon the Pharisee’s
house but in the house of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus: Jhn
12:1Then Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been
dead, whom he raised from the dead.2There they made him a
supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of
them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of
ointment of spikenard, very costly, and
anointed the feet of
Jesus, and wiped his feet with
her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of
the ointment. Again, it is the repentant Mary who in gratitude and
faith fervently worships at Jesus’ feet. Some may find it surprising that all
of them weren’t worshipping at the the feet of Jesus with her. We know from other
scriptures that Mary had sat at Jesus feet intent and eager to receive His
teachings. How can we claim to love Jesus and not also want to give Him our
fervent worship and love offerings? Love and truth forever, serola

DINNER WITH JESUS CHRIST
Brothers and sisters, much love and peace to you, the
purchased of God our Father to be His very own possession through faith in Jesus Christ God
the Son of God with power. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
God our Father commands us to keep this in remembrance. This might offend some: Mat 11:6.
However, those who love Jesus receive His truth with humble and grateful hearts
out of love and trust in Him. Nope, no way we can do anything without
Jesus whom God our Father through faith in His name, has set as the eternal
life, and nourisher of His church, its eternal High Priest and Head of the body
of Christ. Praise God that all believers come to know and understand our Lord over time through the teaching, study and consistent
practicing of His word. God doesn’t expect
His people to mature or ripen to maturity overnight. Again, holy people, we
know that Jesus is God’s Eternal Anointed One alone
ordained to give and be the life nourisher and sustainer of His people-you,
me, us- all who believe in Him: Luk
9:62Jhn
6:53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of
the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye
have no life in you. Jhn
8:24 I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall
die in your sins.The New Covenant of Jesus Christ is absolute, without
error, explicit, exhaustive, exclusive, final, finished, free and eternally complete.
One is either in Christ or out of Christ, there are no good bad guys, or bad
good guys, no half dark and half-light, neutral persons, or saved sinners.
Liberal theology will lie and say that there are special cases, exceptions, and
other roads that allow people to be saved. Yet again, dearly
beloveds, all who trust in Jesus can be confident/assured that over time as we patiently, regularly eat the spiritual food from God
to learn, study and live Christ, He causes Him to enter and be used in every
part of our spirits, hearts, and minds to sustain and properly nourish the body
of Christ individually and as a whole to grow in grace. Jesus is the Word of
God, the Word of eternal life: 1Jo
1:1.6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for
that meat which endureth
unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him
hath God the Father
sealed. God Has given Jesus as the only source of
spiritual nourishment for His people. Jesus is the straight gate; the narrow way;
the door to the sheepfold, Saints (G40 hagios) we know from the scriptures that
all through Jesus’ earthly ministry He not only preached the absolute truth of
scripture, He also warned against unrepentant-rejection of God’s truth that God
the Father who cannot lie commanded Him to profess to the whole world. We fully
understand why the woman with her ointment found the grace of faith in Christ
that totally eluded the blind Pharisee Simon looking to his sect for righteousness.
Tit
1:2And Jesus said unto him, No man, having
put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of
God. Then again, Jesus teaches no man, no servant can
serve two masters: Mat 6:24; Luk 16:13.
There are absolute and Irreversible good consequences for the believer in
Christ and absolutely no good for those who unrepentantly reject Christ: Luk 12:5; Jhn
5:29. Most importantly we understand from scripture that God
allows our faith to be tested and tried by temptation, even as He allowed His
own sinless Son to be tempted, however the word of God is clear: Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he
is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot
be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: While Satan is called the tempter for good reason, please
feel free to read James 1, among many other scriptures that go into minute
details showing that the root of or core reason why
a person actually yields to temptation originates in one’s own lust for that which is forbidden. God doesn’t leave His people high dry and all by
themselves in temptation: 1Co 10:13There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is
common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to
be tempted above that ye
are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way
to escape, that
ye may be able to bear it. See Heb 12. Jesus is intensively involved in the life of all
believers, never passive. We know that God is merciful calling all men to
Christ both the good and the bad and takes no pleasure in the death of the
wicked but calls all men to repentance in Christ. What we must
comprehensively know and understand, dearly beloveds, is that God doesn’t throw His people or
those claiming to be his people under the bus when they are tempted. He
definitely steps in directly and or through His body the church to discipline/correct
to restore, not punish. God’s people are kept from falling away by His Power: Jde 1:24Now unto him that is
able to keep you from falling, and to
present you faultless before the presence of
his glory with exceeding joy, Those who reject God’s
interventions are bastards and not sons at all. In understanding the mercy of
God, and the nature of an impenitent heart we can get the correct understanding
of Judas Iscariot as we go forward in the study. Let us keep in mind that Jesus
is the life of not only the spiritual world, but the natural world as well and
every creature in it. Every breath we draw is from Him who has given every man
their allotted time to repent and believe in Him, before He withdraws His
breath after which men die, and then the judgment. Love and truth forever, serola

DINNER WITH JESUS CHRIST
Holy people, we can do nothing without Jesus. Again,
you, me, us can do nothing without Jesus. Neither can you, me, us grow to
maturity without His word. We have to keep this in the forefront in love and
trust in God- lest we sink into pride exalting ourselves and not our Creator. Thank
God for the faithful servant officers of the church who watch over and feed the
flock to grow to maturity. Everything that the church has come through Lord
Jesus Christ for His glory and our good. Please, let us consistently pick up our
Bibles to read, study, live and share it as God commands. Some read the Bible
through once and then put it away thinking that is all that is required by God.
It is no surprise that those who have little or no steady spiritual nourishment
get into all kinds of difficulties, and make avoidable errors in doctrine. Reading
the Bible through from beginning to end gives us a comprehensive understanding
of the whole of both testaments within the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. While
looking at the whole, we can also take time to look at individual books, characters,
themes of scriptures, applying them to our lives out of faith and trust in God.
Shamefully, we have dead churches in the past and right now gone or going to
closure through failure to feed their flock, despite many warnings sent by God,
they refuse to repent. Nobody witnesses in such churches, have any ministries, remain
strangers to one another and have no understanding of or haven’t heard of the
New Covenant of Jesus Christ, this is evidence and the fruit of false shepherds
whom God condemns. Worse yet, their poor deceived flock having never heard the
gospel, but just homilies or humanistic doctrines have not even been saved. Brothers
and sisters, the momentum of the study of the woman and her ointment, bears us
forward to go to the book of John keenly aware that our God never sees the
relationship/fellowship with His people in any casual manner at all, but one
that is always intensely personal and caring. We see Jesus the God Man up close
and personal in both His humanity and as God the Son, faithful Shepherd of the
flock of God. We know that God’s love and truth tests/measures the viability
and value of our relationship/fellowship
with Him and one another through and within the supreme Standard of Christ: Jhn
5:23 That all men should
honour the Son, even as they
honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath
sent him.1Jo 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.Jhn 14:6Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Jhn 6:44No
man can come to me, except the Father which hath
sent me draw him: and I will
raise him up at the last day.Let us as God commands keep
the woman and her ointment in memory who understood Jesus is our true and only
treasure. While we can pray to God for things that we need, which He only
grants if its according to His will, the mature Christian isn’t focused only on getting stuff
from Lord Jesus. The mature Christian lives focused in all their doings on pleasing
God daily in doing His will, and worshipping Him for who He is and what He has
done for us in His eternal atonement for all who believe in Him. When we hear people talking
all Wishy washy touchy feely warm and fuzzy teaching that there are many roads
to God, or that obedience and faithfulness is not expected to be stable but to fluctuate
depending on circumstances etc whether ignorantly or willfully we know from
scripture that is a lie. However, the ignorant will receive the truth when they
are taught it but the wicked never will. As we go forward, dearly beloveds, to
the book of John we will look closer at the woman with her ointment, as well as
one of the most terrifying and disgusting human beings in scripture JUDAS
ISCARIOT. One of the many horrifying doctrinal errors that have resulted from
misinterpretation of scripture about him is that a born-again believer can lose
their salvation. Until next time, dearly beloveds, let us take comfort and have
complete confidence/assurance in the eternal inerrant, authority, love and
truth of all the promises of God through our indwelling Saviour, High Priest,
Mediator Jesus Christ God the Son of God with power: Mat 28:20…I am with you alway, even unto the end of
the world. Amen.Jhn 10:28And I give unto them eternal life; and they
shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand. Heb 13:5…for he hath
said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Rom 8:35-39. Love and truth
forever, serola
