But each wares (person) usefulness to God depends on neatness (holiness and righteousness)....

...
It says in a great house (the kingdom of God) there are different kinds of wares (people);

the rich/poor, intelligent/dull, white man/black man, tall/short, etc =whoever....

...
What have been saying is what I understand in 2 Timothy 2:18:

*. KJV:Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let EVERY ONE that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20
KJV:But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21
KJV:If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

...
the same nose ( but if there is anywhere or any people who use their ears or other parts of the body for breathing, it will interest me to KNOWMORE...).

The same free air (nobody pays for it, it is God's gift) exactly like salvation.

....
no, nothing like that. It is a choice confirm by activities of the individual.

" I'll be merciful to whom I'll be merciful" does not apply here!

This thing is like the air we breath in and out using the nose. Everybody uses the same method, ...

There is nobody that is refused/denied salvation.

There is no one God had said "you, no need believing in Jesus' death burial and resurrection, no matter what you do you must go to hellfire;...

...
I paused at this...AND WHOSOEVER WILL, LET HIM TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY.

Where are the willing men and women, boys and girls...?

TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY!

*. Leviticus 24:15 "KJV:And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, WHOSOEVER curseth his God shall bear his sin."

*. Deuteronomy 18:19 "KJV:And it shall come to pass, that WHOSOEVER will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."

*. Revelation 22:17 "KJV:And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER will, let him take the water of life freely."

*. Leviticus 18:29 "KJV:For WHOSOEVER shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people."

*. Leviticus 24:15 "KJV:And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, WHOSOEVER curseth his God shall bear his sin."

Some other places to find WHOSOEVER:

*. Exodus 32: 33 "KJV:And the Lord said unto Moses, WHOSOEVER hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book."

Let's see the following verses:



*. 1 John 3:7 "KJV:Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8
KJV: HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9
KJV: WHOSOEVER is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10
KJV:In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: WHOSOEVER doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

...

Whoever believes on Jesus should not perish but have everlasting life, John 3:16.


Whoever commits, if he/she refuses to repent, will be rejected/punished by God of Justice.

...
The words "Whosoever", "anyone", "any man" found in the Bible drive home my point.

Whoever:- short/tall; dark/fair; fat/slim; wise/foolish; educated/not educated; beautiful/ugly; ...

add your own.

... that believes shall not perish!

shadeyinka:
This law is deep. It shows God's sovereignty over His creation. Sometimes, even the lost soul can receive mercy.

I've heard of an atheist who was returned from an NDE experience. He came back from the dead and became born again due to the experience he had. But how many unbelievers have this kind of experience? I will say, one in 100million.

It's deep. God will have mercy on whoever He wills.

Hmm, man of God, each time I think towards this example you have just given it will be as if the predestination something is real.

But no, it is not. One of the things that leads to such happening is the effort of an intercessor.

For instance, you are praying for a particular person that he should not be lost/go to hellfire, God will surely look for the best way to answer the prayers.

This is one of the things that makes some people repent at various strategic points of their lives.

Dtruthspeaker:
And He will Never Say So! Hence the great importance of Judgment, which shall send a person to either the Kingdom of God or to hell/lake of fire.

But Not Both!

People sometimes try to bring predestination stuff to this matter but I don't think it's applicable to our eternal abode.

...free f rom sin.

This is the sure way to spend eternity with God.

Whoever meets or fulfills this necessity is granted abode with God....

...
And to another one "you, weather you like it or not you must go to hellfire". No, there is no such predestination...!

In our generation or dispensation, the belief in Christ's death burial and resurrection; after which you have vowed (water baptism is a kind of vow) to continue in the new life free from sin.

...
"I'll be merciful to whom I'll be merciful" does not apply in this regard.

What I'm saying is that God has not said to anybody, anywhere and at anytime that

"you, weather you like it or not you must go to heaven"....

...
It is you or me that will choose or have to choose weather to go and eternally be with God or with the devil....

.....The choice to be in either of the two places is put in the hand/power of individual....

The two places of abode after here are eternally in heaven with God of the Bible or eternally in hellfire with the devil.

A. [/b]IT IS NOT APPLICABLE TO OUR ETERNAL ABODE (HEAVEN OR HELL)[b]


According to the Words, there is life after death or after our departure from the earth.

*. Hebrews 9:27 "KJV:And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

*. Luke 16:22 "KJV: And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23
KJV: AND IN HELL HE LIFT UP HIS EYES, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24
KJV:And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25
KJV:But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

From the little I know, this law/philosophy or principle, like majority of laws/philosophies, is not applicable to some areas/aspect of our lives/existence.

I'll show (according to my own understanding) the areas that it's not applicable.

One of the philosophies/laws or principles in the Bible is this " I'll be merciful to whom I'll be merciful"

*. Romans 9: 15 "KJV:For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, and I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION."

*. Exodus 33:19 "KJV:And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and WILL BE GRACIOUS TO WHOM I WILL BE GRACIOUS, and WILL SHEW MERCY ON WHOM I WILL SHEW MERCY."

"I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, and

I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION."

Text: Romans 6:12

The grace of God is the unmerited favour and mercy of God towards mankind, and it is by His grace we are saved through our Lord Jesus Christ.

As Christians, we are not to take advantage of this grace by trying to abuse it. Romans 6:14-15.

A lot of Christians, having realized that their sins of past, present and future would be forgiven under the grace through the Blood of Jesus, have started getting lazy spiritually and as such do certain unpleasant things because they feel they can get away with it.

But alas! Grace is not a license for us to go back to our old sinning ways after we have been saved. It simply means that we have now died to sin and thus should no longer live and wallow in it. God's grace is not a basis for us to keep sinning.

God's grace has rather set us free from sin and the power it uses over us and can help pull us out from its death grip..."sin shall not have dominion over us".

God's power supernaturally delivers us and sets us completely free from sin - no matter what kind of heavy sin we might have fallen into because of His grace. There is nothing or nobody that the power and grace of God cannot set free if we are willing to work with Him on it.

Only the grace of God gives us the power and ability to be able to stay out of sin ( not in sin) after we have been saved, especially since we have the Holy Spirit and His power living in us and directing us from the inside.

There will be no excuse for you on the Judgement day, if you ignorantly die in sin, believing you are covered by the grace of God. The main purpose of God's grace is to help us stay "out of sin" through the power of the Holy Spirit that lives in us.

Therefore God's grace, Salvation, the Blood of Jesus, Mercy and the Holy Spirit work together all for our good. They are already available for us to live like Christ and enter the Kingdom of God. But there is one thing that can deny us of these: " staying in sin".

Peace!

You are correct. But I have heard this "...
sins of past, present and FUTURES would be forgiven... " severally.

I don't understand how FUTURES SINS are forgiven today.

However, this is how I understand the grace of God:

It is like a sound car ready to carry somebody whose boss said he should go from South to North.

If the servants are to use legs, maybe only one out of 100 may do the trekking.

As many as are now willing, there is a ready car ( God's grace) to carry them through!

4. ASKING BEFORE GETTING TO KNOW HER

Probably the most important point here, disbelief whatever jargons you may have seen in movies.

Not every woman just hands you her number on your first 'ask'.

Many are usually startled, shocked or surprised when approached and asked for their digits - in some settings, this may be considered rude.

It is easier when there is some form of familiarity at the beginning.

Suppose you are traveling out of the place the next day, is it not better to apply one of these your points?

Despite the extension, the qualities remain the same.


From the 1st one (1) to the last (1) one all features are maintained!

JESUS IS GOD from all indications.

No structure/plan can perfect the redemption of the sons of men than the Trinity.


The only one true God increased/multiplied Himself and maintained/kept all His qualities.


1×1×1=1✓....

This is the hand that the Father used to create all things.

*. Isaiah 45:12 "
KJV:I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even MY HANDS, HAVE STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

*. Jeremiah 27: 5 "KJV:I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and BY MY OUTSTRETCHED ARM, and have given it unto whom it.

Somebody praise the Lord...!

bosom= chest region; i.e the Son which is in the chest region of the Father.

That's why I'm taking Him as the Father's hand.

This is the hand that the Father used to create all things...

The above is the reason Jesus said no one has ever seen the FATHER:

*. John 1:18 "
NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME, the only begotten SON, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, he hath declared him.

*. John 6:46 "KJV: NOT THAT ANY MAN HATH SEEN THE FATHER, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father....

Note:
...SON...WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER...
