A little girl has had a fun day outdoor playing in the mud.
After sometime, her parents call her in from the yard and the first thing they
required of her is to have a good bath plus change of cloth. Why she is looking
dirty. Even though she was wearing one of her beautiful dresses, the fact that
she (herself and her cloth) is dirty can’t be overlooked. She gets a wash but
goes back into the mud, just for a little while returns her to her former state
which is “dirty”. Her parents require her to clean up herself again before
jumping on the sofa or lying on the rug, but she insists she had a bath and
changed her dress earlier…therefore needs not do that again. Long and short of
it all, for her to be clean, she has to birth again.
Many so called Christians on earth are just like this little
girl. They think been once cleansed from sin after they chose to be born again
means they are forever cleansed. But they forget Hebrews 10:38 “Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him”. This is
because the so called Christian is no longer a clean. He/she might still be
going to church, be nice to people, stay off further sins and all other nice
things, however been stained again means you need to be washed once
again in the blood of the lamb by confessing that sin, promising no to return
to it and asking for forgiveness.
The ideology of “once saved, forever saved” isn’t supported by the Holy
Bible or God. Continuing in God’s commandment is therefore they one and only
guarantee of heaven. Luke 9:62
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand
to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
