If not for the number 2 in your list. I would have say. Your article is splendid. Permit me to say. The verse you quote is not a ticket to continue in sin. Rather an encouragement, to make a decision to love God so much. That nothing can separate you or stop you from loving Him. Be it tribulation, persecution, etc including necessities, infirmities, reproach. If I may add that too. Also don't be decived. We are saved for good works. If a christian or/and mighty man of God is lacking in good works, charity, etc. He/she might actually miss heaven. Matt 25:30-end |

sircrabo:this is very true; but I don't think it is possible to abuse grace when you have the Spirit of God in you; I make mistakes sometimes though but my conscience(by the help of the holyspirit) will not give me peace until I settle it with God in place of prayer; ....this has been my experience ; I don't think a Christian with the Holy Spirit can be comfortable in Sin; there is no point preaching to scare them with all this holier than thou preaching....what makes us righteousness is not our work but faith in the righteousness in Christ Jesus |

coconuthead:thank you letting him know oh! All this new generation preachers making it easier to make heaven than Jesus did. They forget the verse that says Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, accusing preachers that preach holiness and faith. If anyone runs because you’re told you’d be destroyed if you don’t believe then I’m sorry(of course it’s not always put in that light) |

Toks2008:[/quote]C.Pray always for forgiveness of sins knowing you can not be sinless.[/quote]Do we ask for the forgiveness of substance already forgiven? once you are in christ Jesus, irrespective of our sins, God has forgiven us in advance and forever it is never a licence to keep on with sin. The reason why St. Paul said, 'Shall we continue in sin that the Grace of God may abound? God Forbid! |

Nice write up. In addition, whosoever is born of God does not commit sin... 1 John 3:9. That's not to say we're all perfect... We all sin, but as long as it's not intentional, then running back to God genuinely will gain us forgiveness. But if we intentionally commit sin, and we go meet Papa with intention to sin again, He sees our hearts... Knows our thoughts.... We'll be blocking the Holy Spirit from helping us. I used to smoke. I tried to quit, e no happen. I always went back... Born again and all o. But still dey smoke cigga. Until one day, I invited Jesus to help me. Just like that, this is over 10months now without cigarette. I didn't even have any withdrawal symptoms for one day. God is real. His Spirit is real. |

Toks2008:Common sense should remind you about the natural Law that "Nothing good comes easy". If heaven is a good place, then even a non believer who has never read the Bible should know that it won't be easy to get there. And you that reads the Bible should know this: "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few" (Matthew 7:13-14). |

I rather ask for forgiveness everyday and have God say (when I get to heaven) "oh girl, na wa for you o. Na every time you just dey disturb me with forgiveness prayer after I don wipe am tey tey " ...than NOT ask because I assumed my salvation is once and for all and then get to heaven and find out say my name no dey book of Life cos of one tiny sin wey I commit(God forbid) .

What has common sense got to do with this? Must you leave a harsh comment? Yes the way is narrow... But with the help of the Holy Spirit, God's nature becomes our nature because we are born of God. So it becomes easy to shun evil. Temptation and trials will come but we cling to God cos he is our life! Deut 30:20 The narrow gate can be interpreted to mean the 'unpopular route'. The world sees fornication as normal, but cos we are on the narrow path, we know what it is, and abstain. Jesus said His yoke is easy, and burden light. So pls stop seeing the godly life as hardship. Nothing good comes easy. Jesus already did the hard part. He paid the price. He suffered and died. Our part is to cling to him. How hard can that be? Na wa for you o oga. gentlegenius: |

leonard002:pastors or bishop office doesn't guarantee heaven...if bill gates gives his life to Christ and accept His free gift of salvation just as people who are less privilege accept his kind gestures he get to make heave after life on earth its as simple as that..infact bill gate stand more chance of making heaven that some pastors..he only but need a bold step to accept Jesus that's all Truth is in the after life..u don't get to chose...u are automatically wired to ur destination depending on the choices u made while on earth...so even the stalin, Obama, ghadafi,abacha, hitler, Darwin,Rockefeller, Plato,Socrates, Alexander the Great even the pope and any other great men u can think of...dont get a say after life..their individual greatness ends on earth...Only God decides. That's why u Av to fear God and be His paddy from now while still breathing |

IForgotMyLoginD: Nice write up. In addition, [b]whosoever is born of God does not commit sin... 1 John 3:9. That's not to say we're all perfect... We all sin, but as long as it's not intentional, then running back to God genuinely will gain us forgiveness.Ma'am, I'm tempted to ask this question Do you mean to say that for every forgiveness we ask, our name is usually erased from the list of those entering hell and added to the book of life? Do you mean to say that, when we sin, God erases the name again from the book of life & transfers it to the book of eternal damnation? But if we intentionally commit sin,So you mean to say there are different forms of sins among which intentional and unintentional sins are example? Hope you don't mind giving examples of intentional sins. And other examples of unintentional sins. and we go meet Papa with intention to sin again, He sees our hearts... Knows our thoughts....Ohh, you mean he's omnipresent, omniaware. But there is the problem about the omnipresence and omniawarenes of god that I don't understand. IF god is omnipresent, why did he punish man for sin knowing fully well that Satan will tempt man. IF he's omnipresent and omniaware, why did he harden the heart of pharaoh and when Pharoah refused the releasing of Israelites, god killed all the first born of the Egyptians. IF god if omniprésent, why did he regret creating man according to a biblical verse. We'll be blocking the Holy Spirit from helping us.How sure are you for making this statement? Do you have evidence of the holy spirit? Can you describe him? I used to smoke. I tried to quit, e no happen. I always went back... Born again and all o. But still dey smoke cigga.Addiction Until one day, I invited Jesus to help me. Just like that, this is over 10months now without cigarette. I didn't even have any withdrawal symptoms for one day.Chaiiiii God is real. His Spirit is real.extraordinary claims require/demand extraordinary evidences. |

gentlegenius:Lol!..on the contrary,making heaven is ridiculously easy if only you catch the revelation. Now understand this...in the past before Jesus paid the price by sacrificing his life as atonement for the sins of the world (once and for all)..God commands that people sacrifice bulls,lambs each year to clear their sins and he will remember them no more... Does common sense not tell us that GOD knew man can not live a totally sinless life? Believe it or not,no true believer takes GOD for granted...I know if I fornicate everyday and ask GOD for forgiveness he will...but I will only be taking him for granted (which of course no true believer will do). Young believers face serious challenges as they still struggle with some sins in their lives and most of them at that fragile stage give up on themselves and totally embrace sins thereby getting lost forever ....this piece is for them. If you truly have the spirit of GOD YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO SIN.....YES you read right....the spirit of GOD in me makes it hard for me to sin and I did not get to this stage overnight, I have had times when I felt like giving up but today the spirit of GOD in me has taken me to a level of confidence in christ Jesus. But despite all,I still fall into sins even when I don't like it,I do not crave for sins, I don't sin with impunity neither do I enjoy it.. The sermon of doom and gloom has sent many to hell and this must stop. Once you are born again,invite the holy spirit of God to perfect your salvation but don't ever give up on yourself till death cos God will never give up on you. This is the simple message behind this write up. |

IForgotMyLoginD:There's nothing harsh about my comment. I only quote a well known natural law and a well known scripture. Maybe the truth is sounding bitter to your ears. When Jesus made the statement that wide is the way to destruction(hell) and many will go into it... Didn't he remember that the Holy spirit will come to help us? By the way, do you think it is everyone that get the Holy spirit? Jesus himself gave us the conditions for salvation, and if you check it carefully, you'll see that those conditions are not easy to meet in this evil world. So when he gave us tough conditions for making heaven, didn't he remember that he'll die for our sins? How can you think that we don't have much to do again for salvation because Jesus died for us? Even though God forgives sins, you don't consistently live a life of sin and expect to make heaven. If you don't know the conditions for heaven, quote me and I'll show you where to read it in the Bible. |

I decree that the holy spirit will energize you more to abstain from not just nicotine but from every other sins that easily beseech you and me in Jesus name...AMEN. |

Toks2008:I think I get your message now, but no matter how easy making heaven might seem to you, the truth is that majority in this world will not still make it. God knows too well that living a sinless life is not easy for us that's why he gave us laws. Even though the death of Jesus has nullify certain laws like rituals and sacrifices to clear our sins, yet the Ultimate Law of God to mankind (The ten commandments) is still valid and very important for us to keep. Breaking them constantly and getting forgiveness doesn't work. If you fornicate every day and ask God to forgive you, he might forgive but if you commit adultery every day you can't be forgiven just like that. Though it's not easy but it is possible to live a perfect and Holy life in this world. People we heard in the Bible did that in this world. So don't make it look like it's not possible. Don't discourage those who tries to live a Holy life. God himself wants us to be Holy. |
