Ascribe All the Authorities to God
“Righteousness through faith” is the absolute truth given by God. We can be reborn only by believing in the Name of LORD Jesus Christ. We need trust in and rely on LORD more so that to grow up spiritually, be holy and be one in Jesus Christ.
However, some add more to it and extend it into “Once Saved, Always Saved”, and claim that this will show more faith in God, and show that one is more humble.
In fact, the saying of “Once Saved, Always Saved” is not humble at all. It is that people want to abuse the grace and do not want to ascribe the authority to God completely.
All the authorities are from God. If after the rebirth, a person still likes to live in sins, and do sins deliberately, that is to disobey God and he will surly be judged by God. Those who try to take the grace of LORD as the excuse to deprive the right of judgment of God, and add the two words of “once” and “always” to the truth of being saved through faith, do not built up others. And it will hinder the people to be away from sins, grow up spiritually, be holy and be one in the holy life of Jesus Christ. While to be one in LORD Jesus Christ is the predestined will and goal to the Christians from God. To believe in and obey God forever, and to be one in LORD Jesus Christ, that is the guarantee to be away from the sins and enter the eternal life.
