That is not saying that I therefore have a license to sin. Being sure of one's salvation because it is sealed by the Holy Spirit, is not the same as those people who treat it as a get out of hell free card.

That is the attitude and assumption (heh) of the OSAS crowd. Look at the posts and see what the development of the 'I cannot be denied salvation' presentation gives us.

Presumption is a sin against Hope.

Again, provide the post numbers.

I haven't seen anyone state or brag that they can sin with impunity because they know they're saved.

Why would God want to deny us salvation?

Is He not love?

Is He not merciful and ready for forgive?

Did He not call us?

Did He not draw us?

Did He not enlighten us?

Did He not live the life we couldn't live ourselves and die the death we couldn't die for us, in our place?

Did He not determine the exact times and places that we should live so that we could seek Him and perhaps find Him even though He is not far from each of us?

Does He not command all men everywhere to repent?

Does He not work in us to will and to do according to His good pleasure? Does He not give us the Holy Spirit to lead and guide, strengthen and enlighten us?

Considering the lengths God has gone to to draw us to Himself and provide a means of salvation that anyone can have without cost, why on earth would we have any reason to NOT be sure of our salvation.

God WANTS to save us.

He's not looking for excuses to zap us as the *gotta work to earn our salvation* crowd would have us believe.

Rather everything Scripture teaches us that God is looking for excuses to SAVE us and not send us to hell.
