.We as Christians have been judged already and have been found to be just... We have eternal life RIGHT NOW and we shall NOT fall into condemnation...

AMEN!!!

Rome conspires to erase all Christian particularism, making everything equally relative and therefore nothing definite nor true.

Scripture tells us our salvation is neither relative, haphazard nor uncertain...

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." -- 1 Corinthians 1:18


"Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." -- Romans 3:24-28

By whose righteousness are men saved? Not by their own righteousness, but by the righteousness of Christ mercifully imputed to them. Since this is predicated on God's will, ordained from before the foundation of the world, we can be assured of His faithfulness to do what we cannot.

"Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." -- 1 Thess. 5:24

Amen, Dr.!

"Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him; Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him, for in that He died, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: but in that He liveth he liveth unto God, likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:8-11).

We are DEAD TO SIN because Christ DIED FOR SIN and we are PART OF CHRIST'S BODY.

If every time we sin we fear separation from God, we are saying the Death of Jesus Christ was NOT sufficient and it becomes necessary for Him to die over and over again each and every time there is sin.

The Word of God has something to say about that:

"By the which will we ARE sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL...But his man, after he had offered ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS , sat down on the right hand of God...for by ONE OFFERING HE hath perfected FOREVER them that are sanctified". (Hebrews 10:10,12,14).>
