The Daily Word of Righteousness
An Examination of Current Teaching, #35
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. (Hebrews 6:8)
Can you see how utterly different the Gospel of the Kingdom is from the man-made "gospel of Heaven," or "gospel of salvation"? We have made a religion out of what is intended to be a transformation of our personality. We are propagating a religion, attempting to convert people to our point of view rather than showing in ourselves the Person of Christ.
We Christians are to be magnifying glasses so Christ can be seen in us in an enlarged form. We are to be living epistles so all people can read the eternal moral law of God in our personality.
Yes, the Lord Jesus told us if we do not bear the fruit of moral transformation we shall be removed from the Vine. We contradict the Words of God when we teach that once a person receives Christ he never again can be lost to the purposes of God. We are made a partaker of Christ only if we continue in steadfast faith to the end of our discipleship.
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. (Hebrews 3:16-19)
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. (Hebrews 6:4-6)
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. (Hebrews 13:14)
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. (II Peter 2:20,21)
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. (Jude 1:5)
