06/20/22 FAITH IS ESSENTIAL

Facts to consider, each of which is a Biblical truth, which agrees with the others in this post.

 

All children of Adam are conceived with a sinful nature, thus unfit for heaven.

Christ died as a sacrifice for the whole world, including pre-born children, therefore all pre-born children are covered by the atonement and are therefore qualified by God to go to heaven.

 

After a baby is born, the infant is still covered by the atonement of Christ.

Remember, Jesus welcomed the children to come to Him because they are part of the kingdom of God.

 

All children who live beyond infancy willfully sin against the law of God and are therefore unfit for heaven.

If a person confesses his sin, believes on the death and resurrection of Christ, and turns from sin to follow Christ, he will be forgiven and regenerated (saved).

 

Since a pre-born is covered by the redemptive work of Christ on the cross, but sins as a young person, that "saved" child has lost his salvation or fallen from grace, because the wages of sin is death.

 

Jesus saves His people FROM THEIR SINS, not in their sins.

The justified (the saved) are those who live by faith.

We are the children of God by faith.

 

That which is not of faith is sin.

He that commits sin is of the devil.

 

Saving faith obeys God.

Faith without works is dead.

 

A person who does not walk in the light of Christ is not cleansed from all sin.

A person who does not confess his sins is not forgiven of his sins.

 

Not only has every person been saved from sin (as a pre-born), but every person has sinned against God deliberately and needs to be saved (delivered, rescued) by the redemptive work of God.

 

Therefore it is possible to lose salvation, fall from grace.
