Abiding
The Lure, the Lie, and the LORD [podcast]
BEFORE sin had ever entered the world, Satan derailed God’s sinless couple, the very first man and woman, with his OSAS/eternal security lie (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Adam and Eve chose to partner with Satan against the Almighty. This is clear evidence that who we choose to believe is exactly who we side with, who we serve (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
The Savior Said vs Satan Said
It all started in the Garden. How can we possibly believe we have a foundational knowledge and understanding of God and not understand the creation of God, in His very image, and then the fall, the descent of mankind into sin, and the way it transpired?
God Said:
“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17
Satan Said:
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall NOT surely die:” Genesis 3:4
Are you listening to the Savior or the serpent? Any person who is living by and following today’s snakes who peddle the “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie – that is, if you sin, it will not separate you from God…. are listening to and following Satan, not the Savior.
GOD: “Thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17)
vs
SATAN: “Ye shall NOT surely die” (Genesis 3:4)
Satan, whom the Bible informs us is still using the same lures and tricks, contradicted what God said (1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 2:11).
This is irrefutable. No eternal securist or Calvinist heretic can deny this Garden of Eden lie nor that it led to the fall of mankind into sin.
All make the choice to serve the Savior or Satan. There is no neutral ground.
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
By not choosing, one chooses.
“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. … choose you this day whom ye will serve; … but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14, 15
Each of us chooses life or death. Either or.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
Now, in light of this truth of the origins of God’s creation of mankind and their fall into sin…. and God’s ultimatum to serve Him or Satan…
What’s this revelation of Satan’s lie and mankind’s betrayal of God say for the utter arrogance and blindness of those who believe this lie today? Like Adam and Eve, they’ve taken Satan’s bait. As when a fish bites the worm, he never suspects there is a hook hidden in the bait, and it is to his demise.
Those who believe this don’t realize that the hook was set to snare and damn them irrevocably.
Believing un-conditional eternal security is designed to lower the guard, to make lukewarm, to ultimately damn those who put man and Satan’s word above God’s. See Genesis 2:17 and 3:4. God spoke, then Satan spoke to the man and woman. The man and woman believed the devil as have all today who believe in the grace-corrupting lie of eternal security. The Holy Spirit through Jude warned us about this very heresy peddled by “ungodly men” (Jude 3-4).
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
Believing a lie demonstrates that the one who believes that lie does not fear nor love God and His truth (John 17:17). Apparently the LORD takes this personally – that someone would call Him a liar – and He sends “strong delusion” to such rebels. Check this out:
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Be sure your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” Ezekiel 18:30
Returning to the Lord
Joel 2:12-17
“12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?”
In light of the fact that our LORD Jesus warns us that “many,” not a few, will swear they know Him on judgment day yet and be rejected, how then shall we live? See Matthew 7:21-23, etc..
“There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” Proverbs 30:12
“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4
IF Christ doesn’t mean enough to us to daily seek Him and obey Him, to do His will, we simply do not know Him.
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
Christ’s remnant today is known in that they are living the crucified life. They are taking root downward and bearing His good fruit upward (daily death, burial, and resurrection).
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:” Isaiah 37:31
Did you catch this? – “the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah.” Notice how the remnant of Christ have escaped, have departed from the cross-less, self-loving, heretical modern church apostates – in order to serve the LORD and not be ensnared by the lies. They have come out of her, out of Babylon (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; 2 Timothy 3:1-13; Revelation 18:1-10). They are taking root downward, they are crucified and buried with Christ and being raised up by Him into His full victory and fruitfulness (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
The remnant of Christ are daily participating in HIS stated mission, goal – to cleanse us from “ALL sin” (Titus 2:11-14). According to the Bible definition, this is exactly what saving grace looks like for the “few” who are truly saved (Matthew 7:13-14). See also 2 Corinthians 7:1 and 1 Peter 1:15-16 and Psalms 51. The true remnant disciple never makes excuse for any sin, but rather openly admits, confesses it to God as such at the throne of His grace where fresh mercy and grace is always available, this side of Heaven (Hebrews 4:14-16).
The whole of Scripture reveals that one must “abide” in Christ which means to continue, to remain in Christ. Such can only occur where one that Christ saved is continuing in Him, following Him – otherwise those who don’t remain in Christ after being saved will be burned in the fires of eternal Hell (John 15:1-6). Jesus warned us that in the last days, the days we now live in “the love of many” would “wax cold” and then says that only those who “endure to the end” are going to be “saved” (Matthew 24:10-13).
YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I know You are Holy, holy, holy. Please rebuke this fool to the innermost part of my being. Here and now I re-turn to You, I turn myself in to You as a fully guilty, vile, depraved sinner. Please unite my heart to fear Thy name. Have mercy upon, forgive, and rescue this pauper. Cleanse every trace of sin and please fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost and live Your holy life through me from this moment forward. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
