GOD'S REVELATION & MAN'S RESPONSE
GOD REVEALS AND MAN RESPONDS
GOD SHOWS HIMSELF TO US SO THAT WE MAY BELIEVE
MAN RESPONDS BY:
TO WHAT HE HAS BEEN SHOWN
MAN IS NOT A ROBOT, HE DOES HAVE A CHOICE
SALVATION IS NOT A TRAP
WE COME TO A SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF GOD ONLY BY REVELATION

APOSTASY IS ONLY FINAL IF YOU CANNOT REPENT OF YOUR LOVE OF EVIL
Eph 4:18 Heb 10:29 Rev 22:12-16
AN OMINOUS WARNING TO THOSE WHO ACTUALLY CRUCIFIED CHRIST: THE JEWS
Heb 6:4-6
TRY AND PROVE THIS ONE WRONG, OH YOU WITH THE REBELLIOUS SPIRIT
Compare this to
Mat 16:23 Mark 8:33
Jesus once said to Peter, "I give to you the keys of the Kingdom..... and upon this rock, I will build my Church." Yet here, Jesus calls him Satan!
All the disciples disowned Jesus, including Peter, but Jesus forgave them.
Christ's death on the cross was sufficient to pay for all our sins: past, present and future.
If you have once known Christ and fallen away, you can turn back to him. Jesus will greet you with open arms, just like the Father greeted the Prodigal son. All you need to do is repent.
REPENTANCEJames 5:19-20
TRUE REPENTANCE INVOLVES MORE THAN JUST SAYING SORRY
IT MEANS TO TURN AROUND AND HEAD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
IT MEANS TO STOP DOING THE THINGS THAT WE ARE SORRY FOR
SOMETIMES THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE BODY IS WEAK
GOD KNOWS OUR HEART, OUR MOTIVE
HE KNOWS WHAT WE LOVE
IF YOU HAVE BEEN WEAK OR YOUR MOTIVES HAVE NOT BEEN PURE
Mat 3:2 Mat 4:17 Mark 1:15 Luke 13:3 Luke 13:5 Luke 15:7 Acts 3:19 Acts 8:22 Rev 2:5 Rev 2:16 Rev 2:21 Rev 2:22

Rom 8:16 Phil 2:12 1John 4:21-24 1John 5:1-4 1John 5:11-15
WE CAN KNOW WHETHER WE WILL BE SAVED IF CHRIST WERE TO COME BACK NOW
2Cor 13:5-6 Gal 6:4
NOTHING
CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD
Rom 8:39 John 10:28 John 10:29
2 Cor 1:21
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TRUST IN HIM
Num 21:7-9 John 3:14-5
We just need to look toward God with the eyes of our heart
This does not require any strength or effort, JUST FAITHGOD WILL NOT BREAK HIS SIDE OF THE COVENANT
