Is demonstrated by the unrepentant sinner, as he resists the constant and gracious call of God in this life. Such obstinance leads to further rebellion and hardens the corrupted heart even more against the loving and holy God. Though God gives us a lifetime to turn from selfishness and turn to Him, the persistent rejections of a disobedient, eternal soul does not end at the grave; thus the reason for eternal judgment. Heaven would not be heaven with upheaval and division.
THE SOLUTION...
God's solution to the sinful, selfish, rebellious, divisive person is
NEW BIRTH into the family of God and
ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION of His children.
NEW BIRTH
2 Peter 3:9
(9) The Lord is not... willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 John 2:29
(29) If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John 5:4
(4) For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:18
(18) We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION
1 Thessalonians 4:3
(3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
(23) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(24) Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Psalms 24:3-4
(3) Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
(4) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
James 4:8
(8) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
1 John 3:2-3(2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
(3) And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
TODAY DETERMINES YOUR ETERNITY
2 Corinthians 6:1-3
(1) We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(2) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
(3) Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
Revelation 22:11-15
(11) He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
(12) And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
(13) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
(14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
(15) For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
