One more about......." quitting faith, losing faith, ...."
Lets say a Christian born again mother has a 2 yr old, that is kidnapped and murdered.
So, they catch the person, and he goes to prison for life.
But, in her broken and devestated heart, she is asking "why", Why didn't God prevent this.. ?? !!!!!
So she says, and means it....
="" I HATE YOU GOD.
BURN IN HELL JESUS>
DIE HOLY SPIRIT, .. I hope Heaven BURNS with the Angels in it SCREAMING !!!!!!!!"""""
Now do you see that?
You are awake now....right?
Do you really think that God is going to cast HIS Child of God into the Lake of Fire for eternity....for those words, and that attitude?
Is God's love unconditional ? Is the Cross weak at Redemption?
Jesus, who is GOD, said that He is ""touched with the FEELINGS of our FEELINGS"".
He knows exactly why we feel what we feel, and why we behave like we behave.
So....no....this hurting broken destroyed woman is not going into the Lake of fire because she is literally blaming and hating God, and will continue to.......and may die this way, as a broken heart can kill you.........if its broken enough.
And if she dies....then she'll meet Jesus, and there is her little girl."mama",, "mama".
Talk about happy tears........
So, why does God Hating mama not end up in the Lake of Fire is she dies hating Christ ??? Because this person belongs to God.. She was bought with a price.
Redemption is not a temporary solution. Redemption is an Eternal forgiveness.
She is "in Christ", and "Christ IN this woman is her hope of Glory".
YET....Christians have this idea that God is some sort of anemic, sensitive, can't deal with anything...... vengeful, lightning bolts, revenge seeking, neurotic, emotional infant.
But the fact is, God is Love and Love is God's Grace, and Grace is the Blood Atonement, and this is so strong and so eternal, that you cant wash the Blood Of Jesus off your born again spirit by a bad attitude or a mouthful of Hate or a lifetime of living in the flesh.
Salvation, is an eternal blood bought contract between the Blood of Jesus and your initial Faith, that results in you going to heaven to be with the family that GOD Joined you to, and put you in, based on THE CROSS.....ALONE.
Its because.... once you signed up with Faith, God signed you up with His Eternal Blood.
God , is Jesus on the Cross.....shedding His blood to bring you HOME AND KEEP YOU THERE.
This is GRACE.
Therefore, when you are "atoned for" by God's blood, (GRACE) it does not become voided by hatred, backsliding, or anything we do, and that is because it is GOD who created the means of the CROSS to accept us, and once He does......then that is the final answer.
"Accepted in the Beloved".
Now here is a little bit more for you....
So, "Faith, faith, faith"., what if i lose my faith".
Ok, there is a unique answer for that question also given in the NT.
Its in Romans.
"Whatsoever is not of FAITH is sin..."
So, if you lose your faith, you have sinned.
And Romans 4:8 says that God does not charge your SIN to you....after you are washed in the blood of Jesus....so, the "lost faith" sin, is just one more that is under that blanket of Blood, ... all washed clean..
White as snow.
