Is God warning you about being outside the faith which Jesus Himself shared with His disciples? The faith you receive must not come from those who are “out”. Peter said true salvation is only through “a faith of the same kind as ours” (2 Peter 1:1).
Our defining affirmation of salvation is also here in 1 John
What God does to each of us when we are born again? That is what saves us – what He does to us. But He does not save the “cracked heart”, the one who holds-back anything. Did God save you, or have you deviated into what He is against?
Why God rejects anyone
God rejected all of us – way, way back in time. Every single one of us is disqualified to enter His Holy Kingdom. Why would God reject anyone? Why doesn’t God just simply declare this? “I accept everyone.”
Willing to change
Are you willing to change? To be ready for the entrance into God’s Holy Kingdom – you must be radically changed. “You must be born again” Jesus said. Now THAT is radical!
