John Said All Those Who Believed In The Son Of God Already Has Eternal Life. by Steep(m): 6:01pm On Apr 08, 2023 |
Do you know this fact? You who have put your faith in Jesus christ already have eternal life? 1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. |

Steep:Unfortunately there is one religion called Islam whose founder has denied its adherents eternal life by telling them that God doesn’t have a son |

Steep: The word BELIEVE connotes TRUST so if someone said "i believe Jesus" today that's not enough to save him! WHY? Believing Jesus according to God's word means acknowledging him as the Son of the most high God whose footsteps we must follow strictly {Hebrews 5:7} to please his father! Matthew 17:5 To enter God's Kingdom and live forever we must become holy {1Peter 1:16} for any imperfect human to meet up with this requirement Jesus is the role model we must copy in order to put on that new personality! Ephesians 4:22-24 So ordinarily saying "i believe in Jesus" can't save anyone! Matthew 7:21-23 ![]() 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: Confession of this "belief" might not be sufficient in itself, but it's a good way to start. |

MaxInDHouse:I believe in Jesus does not save that is because that person believe in the wrong Jesus. For example who would put his complete trust on an angel like Jehovah witness organization? or a mere man like the muslims and a whole lot of other false religion teaches? Or someone who needed to be reached through another means like the catholic teaches? But the true Jesus who is both God and Man, who is all sufficient and whose word is yes and Amen, who came to save sinners freely, and whatever he does is perfect. The one who can save till the end and will lose non of those in his hand. Such a person could be trusted and his word believed 100%. |

Steep: If you like change the subject but Jesus himself said not all those calling him Lord Lord will be saved except those DOING the will of his father! Matthew 7:21-23 If you don't grasp the verb DOING it connotes WORKING in anticipation of something! ![]() 2 Likes |

Steep:Jesus Christ said also said the following..... 47 “I can assure you that anyone who believes has eternal life.Those who do not eat His body and drink His blood have no real life. Eternal life requires more than mental assent as some like to pretend. ![]() |

MaxInDHouse:Jesus is speaking of pretenders who call him Lord with their lips but their heart is far from him. Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. Only those who love Jesus would keep his commandments. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. This love is from the holy ghost. Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. When a someone receive the saviour Jesus christ he becomes born again, a new heart is given to him, this is the heart that love God and hence loves to keep his commandments. This person begins to do good works which is the evidence of salvation. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. |

Steep: In a nutshell salvation requires WORKS of FAITH! Where you're confused is what Paul said about the WORKS of the LAW {Galatians 3:5} this means observance of the Mosaic laws thinking that's what will lead to salvation {Luke 18:21} but the WORKS of FAITH differ totally from that because you have to strive really hard to imitate Jesus completely in thought, words and actions {Matthew 17:5} this personality is really strange to imperfect human lifestyle {Ephesians 4:22-24} that's what makes it harder than observing the Mosaic laws so Jesus likens it to a struggle with our sinful flesh {Luke 13:24} so that makes it another kind of WORK entirely! James 2:18-26 ![]() |
