The children of Israel, our example, fell from “GRACE MANY, MANY TIMES.(1 Cor. 10:10-12) Each time God took them back when they repented...!(Ezk. 18:30) They were sitll His children but He punished them until they repented. If they didn’t repent, they died.(Heb. 3:17) He had to, God is righteous and has to punish sin or he becomes a liar.(Rom. 3:4-6) Sin seperated the children of Israel from God just as it seperates us, so either we, as children of God, repent of our sins our we die in our sins.(Jn. 8:24)
God, knowing that you and I will sin, added something to the “new covenant” that the “old covenant” didn’t have, GRACE. (Rom. 3:23 & Jn. 1:17) But, even with God’s grace, you and I can’t continue in sin, you and I have to be dead to sin. (Rom. 6:1-3) How do we accomplish that? By being in Christ....!(Rom. 3:23-25) If you and I are in Christ and are faithful, not perfect, God will forgive us our sins. You and I must walk in the light as Christ is in the light, then He will forgive us our sins. (1 Jn. 1:6-8, 2 Tim. 2:12-14) God rewards the faithful, not the unfaithful.(Matt. 24:44-46, Matt. 25:22-24,Lk. 12:34-36, Lk, 19:16-18,)
You and I just like the children have a decision to make, either we serve God or we serve satan for there are only two masters, God leaves that choice up to us.(Matt. 6:24, Lk. 16:13) Hopefully all will make the same choice that Joshua chose to make..! (Joshua 24:14-16)
Were all the children of Israel "Children of God"?
When did a Child of Israel become a Child of God?
They were stll His children but...
Then they never fell from Grace. If they were still his children, then they were still under his Grace.
You and I just like the children have a decision to make, either we serve God or we serve satan for there are only two masters, God leaves that choice up to us.
Indeed everyone has that choice and everyone who does not serve God is serving satan.
But here is the question, my FRiend. Does God abandon his children? Jesus said that not one of his sheep would be lost. So once you are designated by God as to being one of his sheep, then I don't see how you can possibly end up lost. To claim that Jesus loses his sheep is to claim that he was not truthful.
So that is why I asked the important question of when exactly does a person become a child of God? If it is after they have been designated by God as one of Christ's sheep or one of his Children, then the possibility of them "falling from grace" and ending up in Hell is..... ZERO.
