Once Saved, Always Saved?*


*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))

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

As Jesus or As yourself?*

*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B
