● “May God give you more and more grace and peace
as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.
By His divine power, God has given us everything we need
for living a godly life.” (2 Peter 1:2-3, NLT)
● “God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy
and without fault in his eyes.” (Ephesians 1:4, NLT)
● “work hard to prove that you really are among those
God has called and chosen.” (2 Peter 1:10, NLT)
● “work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy
will not see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14, NLT)
The heart attitude of a BAC determines his eternal future!
It’s not nearly enough that he has received the Holy Spirit
and has become a new creation in Christ (2 Corin 5:17).
BACs were chosen and called to co-operate with the Holy Spirit unto holiness!
Receiving God’s grace and the Holy Spirit is just the beginning!
The BAC has a trinity of everything he needs to be victorious
(a successful overcomer) during the process of his salvation:
1 – the indwelling Holy Spirit
2 – the new creation (his new self)
3 – the word of God
So, the BAC has no excuse for failing to satisfy Father God.
The many WARNINGS in the NT are for BACs
who have chosen to live in habitual sin,
or who may later choose to live in a sinning lifestyle,
or who just fall away from the faith,
or who reject Christ and fall from grace,
or who draw back to perdition,
or who do not endure during Christian persecution (soon),
or who take the deadly mark of the beast (also coming soon).
“He who loves his life will lose it (his eternal life)” (John 12:25)
Stronger parallel verses:
Matthew 16:25-26, Mark 8:35-37, Luke 9:23-26
A BAC is required to continually repent of his sins.
This is a sign of one who has the right heart attitude before God.
He is required to be a habitual repenter, not a habitual sinner!
(To repent is to be sorry about our sins, to turn away from them,
and do everything we can to never do them again.)
If a BAC has the right heart attitude towards God
he will be led by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14),
and he will be doing such things as …
1 – reading the word and praying
2 – enduring in the faith
3 – repenting of his sins
4 – practicing righteousness
5 – practicing obedience
6 – loving, forgiving, not condemning
7 – living dedicated lives of holiness
… so God will see him as being righteous
(one who is living righteously).
