*DAILY DEW 8TH/DECEMBER/2021* *Once Saved, Always Saved?* _Key Bible Text:_ *For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.* (Hebrews 10:26-27 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The logic of once saved always saved is that God is merciful, forgiving, and that he would not send Jesus to die for sins, and afterwards still punish believers for their sins. Another related logic is that God hates divorce. Since Christ is the groom of the church, His bride, God will not therefore divorce her, no matter what she does. Sound? Right? Well, let's see. Truth is, the above logic, and others that is being used to support the idea of once saved, always saved, is so sweet and believable that many easily fall for it. Why are these logic so effective in deceiving many? It is because it is a mixture of truth and not so true ideas of scripture. What's the truth? God indeed forgives and is merciful. He also is a divorce hating God. However, what is not so true? God also said ahead of time, that he is a consuming fire, and that he hates sin and that the wages of sin is death. The same Bible that teaches the half truth of these logic, also debunks the other not so true half. When it comes to this issue, you must desist from rationalization. Instead, you must stick to what is written. As you can see from Hebrews 10:26-27, it clearly shows that when believers return to their sins, after having received Christ, they are liable to face the same consequences facing those who do not receive Christ-- perishing eternally. _MEDITATION:_ *"If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, what do you think will happen if you turn on God's Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit? This is no light matter. God has warned us that he'll hold us to account and make us pay. He was quite explicit: "Vengeance is mine, and I won't overlook a thing," and, "God will judge his people." Nobody's getting by with anything, believe me."* (Hebrews 10:28-31 (The Message)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_December* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/12/once-saved-always-saved.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
