THE IMPLICATIONS OF TRUTH - PT. ONE

Sometimes we Christians make, or listen to statements without understanding the implications of what it really means. Here’s an example. I was with a group of believers last night, from several different churches, talking about missions. After our meeting someone said, “You know, there’s going to be a very last person saved.” He was correct. But what are the implications of this truth? Let’s think…
1. God will one day bring an end to salvation.
2. There will be, most likely, billions of people on earth unsaved at that moment.
3. This means God has determined who that last person is.
4. It also means God has determined the fate of the billions who will be unsaved on that day.
5. This means God determines who will be saved and who will not.
6. Therefore, the following biblical words literally mean what they say. (Chosen, elect, predestined, appointed, enabled)
7. This means “grace” is a free gift, and not activated by human choice.
8. This means the unsaved do not accept Jesus, He accepts us.

The Purpose of Christmas

Q. What is the purpose of Christmas?

The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).

The devil’s works are to keep the unbeliever under the penalty of sin – spiritual death. But Christmas came (Jesus became a human being) and He lived a completely sinless life. Therefore, He had “NO” penalty of sin to pay for himself. That qualified Him to pay your penalty for sin, and set you free from paying it yourself, thereby receiving God’s forgiveness. (Substitutionary atonement). All that the Father gives to the Son receives this great gift.

Acts 10:43
“…through His name everyone who believes in Him receives
forgiveness of sins."

Q. Are those works destroyed in your life? Your eternal destiny in heaven depends on it.
