Колку пати велат христијаните, that once you are saved, you are always saved. Many scriptures are quoted to substantiate this statement. One of them is John 10:27-29, where Jesus says “И јас им давам вечен живот; и никогаш нема да загинат, и никој нема да ги откине од Мојата рака. Мојот Татко, што им даде Мене, е поголем од сите; и никој не може да ги одземе од раката на Мојот Татко. Јас и Мојот Татко сме едно.” Unfortunately, many Scriptures are taken out of context, or words are left out, so that people don’t have to change and don’t have to go through the process of sanctification, but can keep living after their flesh according to their will and persevere in sin, без чувство на вина. And that has also happened to John 10:27-29. Because is it true, can no one pluck you out of the hand of God?
Повикот на покајание
Оттогаш Исус почнал да проповеда, и да кажам, Покајте се: зашто Царството небесно се приближува (Метју 4:17)
But when Jesus heard that, Тој им рече, They that be whole need not a physician, но оние кои се болни. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners на покајание (Метју 9:12-13, Означи 2:17, Лука 5:31-32, )
И дека покајанието и простувањето на гревовите треба да се проповедаат во Негово име меѓу сите народи, почнувајќи од Ерусалим (Лука 24:47)
Низ Библијата, people are called to repentance and the removal of sin and walk after the Spirit in holiness and righteousness.
But because of false teachers, who have entered the Church of God and have misled many believers with their false doctrines, this message has been eliminated and is hardly preached anymore. Because of that true conversions are held off and people keep living as the old creation, as a slave to sin in the bondage of death (Прочитајте исто така: ‘Што е покајание?').
But as long as someone wants to serve sin and persevere in sin, it proves that the person is not born again and has not received God’s nature. Затоа што Светиот Дух, Кој пребива во новото создание, wouldn’t do anything that goes against God’s Word and His will.
Сите, who is born of God loves God and doesn’t want to do anything that grieves God and denies and harms His Name and His Kingdom.
Моите овци го слушаат Мојот глас, и ги знам, и тие Ме следат
Моите овци го слушаат Мојот глас, и ги знам, и тие Ме следат: И јас им давам вечен живот; и никогаш нема да загинат, и никој нема да ги откине од Мојата рака. Мојот Татко, што им даде Мене, е поголем од сите; и никој не може да ги одземе од раката на Мојот Татко. Јас и Мојот Татко сме едно (Џон 10:27-30)
Бидејќи тие, кои се родени од Бога и го примиле Светиот Дух, shall follow Jesus and listen to His voice. They shall submit themselves to Jesus Christ; the Word and have a relationship with Him and spend time with Him and therefore they know Him and He knows them, and they do what Jesus has commanded them to do, causing them to be followers and witnesses of Jesus Christ, Живото Слово, на земјата (Прочитајте исто така: ‘Следењето на Исус ќе ве чини сè’).
That’s the condition that Jesus spoke about, before Jesus said that no one was able to pluck His sheep out of His hand and out of the Father’s hand, since the Father and the Son are one. But the condition is many times left out and therefore a partial truth is preached, instead of the whole truth of God.
Because there is a condition in order to stay in the hand of Jesus and in the hand of the Father, и тоа е, that you hear His voice; His words and that you follow Him; Зборот, and stay in Him and do the will of Jesus Christ, што е и волјата на Отецот.
Никој не може да те откине од Божјата рака?
тоа е не written that ништо can pluck you out of the of God but that никој can pluck you out of the hand of God. Ова значи, that no one else is able to do something about your salvation and your position in Christ and His protection. No one else can disrupt, damage, and break your relationship with God; Отецот, Синот, и Светиот Дух. Единствениот, who can break your relationship with God is you, by what you do.
The devil couldn’t do anything about the position of man; Адам, and his relationship with God, man was untouchable. But what the devil could do, was tempt man and mislead man and cause man to doubt the words of God, so that man would believe and obey his words instead of the words of God and do his words and that way submit to the devil and bow to him.
Adam and Eve sinned from their Godly nature
Запомнете, тој човек (Adam and Eve) was perfectly created after the image of God and didn’t have a sinful nature. Man was spiritual and walked in union with God (Битие 1:26-31-2:25).
In our age, people blame the sinful nature for their sins and say there is nothing they can do about it, because they are sinners. But that is a pious lie from the devil, which many people use in order to live after their flesh, after their own will, instead of yielding to the will of God and His Word. By using this pious lie, they can persevere in sin, без чувство на вина (Прочитајте исто така: ‘Можете ли да го искористите скршениот свет како изговор?’)
But by saying, дека сепак си грешник, you deny the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and the creation of the new man.
Jesus didn’t go the way of sufferings and didn’t die on the cross, so that man can live in sin; во бунт кон Бога, but to deal with the sinful nature, што владее во месото, through regeneration and the death of the flesh in Christ.
Пред падот, man didn’t have a sinful nature, but man was perfect. Therefore Adam and Eve were not led by their sinful nature and their sinful nature didn’t cause them to sin. But their will caused them to sin.
They decided to listen to the adversary of God; ѓаволот, and to believe his words and obey him. Because of their obedience to the words of the devil, they yielded to the devil and death entered. And so their spirit died and the relationship between God and man was broken.
God had warned man through His words and said, that if man would eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would surely die. Сепак, the devil twisted the words of God very subtly, causing man to doubt the words of God.
Man began to doubt the words of God and lusted after the promise of the devil, that if they would eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, they would be as God, which was also a partial truth.
And so they believed the words of the devil above the words of God and followed the devil instead of God, whereby man fell from his position and became separated from God.
The warnings of the Word
Од почетокот на создавањето, God warned man and gave a commandment, but man rejected the commandment of God.
The devil couldn’t pluck man from the hand of God, but the devil could tempt man to sin and ensure that man would believe his words and follow his words and leave the words of God and become separated from God.
No person, no devil, кнежевството, моќ, ruler, итн. can pluck you out of the hand of God. Единственото нешто, that can cause you to leave the hand of God is by leaving God’s Word and His will and become disobedient to the voice of God.
As long as you listen to the voice of Jesus Christ and follow Him and live in union with Him, you shall be untouchable and He shall be with you and no one shall be able to pluck you out of the hand of God.
But if you refuse to submit to Jesus Christ; Словото и извршувај ја Неговата волја, but instead decide to go your own way and do your will and serve the flesh, then because of your unbelief and your disobedience to the words of God and your works, you shall leave the hand of God.
Оние, who are born of God do the things that please Him and live after His will
А Оној што Ме испрати е со Мене: Таткото не Ме остави сам; зашто секогаш ги правам работите што Му угодуваат. (Џон 8:29)
Не секој што Ми вели, Господи, Господи, ќе влезе во Царството небесно; туку оној што ја врши волјата на Мојот Отец кој е на небесата (Метју 7:21)
За секој што ќе ја врши волјата на Мојот Татко, кој е на небесата, истото е и Мојот брат, и сестра, и мајка (Метју 12:50)
Jesus was yielded to the will of the Father and did those things that pleased the Father and because of that, the Father was with Him.
The devil tried to tempt Jesus many times, by twisting the words of God very subtle and use them for His flesh, just like the devil did with Adam. But Jesus stayed faithful to the words of His Father.
Jesus loved His Father and spent a lot of time with His Father and He knew His nature and His will and therefore Jesus recognized the lies of the devil and rejected his words instead of the words of God, whereby God remained His Father
If Jesus, кој беше првородено на новото создание, could be tempted, потоа оние, кои станаа ново создание во Христа, can also be tempted and can choose to leave the hand of God by believing and obeying the words of the devil and leave the words of God.
Can you depart from the living God?
Внимавајте, браќа, да не има во некој од вас злобно срце на неверување, во заминувањето од живиот Бог. Но, поттикнувајте еден со друг секој ден, додека се нарекува Денес; некој од вас да не се закорават преку измамата на гревот. Зашто ние сме направени соучесници на Христос, ако we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end (хебрејски 3:12-14).
Словото сведочи, that it is possible to depart from the living God, unlike the preachers and followers of the modern gospel, who contradict the words of God and say that if you are once saved, you are always saved and that it doesn’t matter how you live, even if you persevere in sin.
But God has given His Word and His Word testifies of Him and His will, together with His Spirit, and it’s up to every person to either believe the words of God or not
„Бидете сол на земјата’
