It makes me sad to know there are "Christians" who do not experience the continual power of God that delivers them from temptation, sin and a corrupted heart.
It makes me even sadder that they are not sad to the point of wanting, seeking and believing God for "Uttermost" salvation.
Until they are dissatisfied with their carnal life, they will never seek the life of walking in the light, living in the Spirit, resting in the Lord. Today is a great day to explore the possibilities of making Jesus your sole, soul purpose.
UTTERMOST SALVATION
Hebrews 7:25
(25) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
UNLIKE ROMAN RELIGION
The Jesus of the Bible died only one time, unlike Roman Catholicism's Jesus, who dies every time the priest says the Mass.
UTTERMOST SALVATION

UNLIKE ROMAN RELIGION
The Jesus of the Bible died only one time, unlike Roman Catholicism's Jesus, who dies every time the priest says the Mass.
The Roman religion teaches that the wafer/bread is the ACTUAL body of Christ, and every time it is SACRIFICED on the table/ALTER, Christ dies again.
The Roman religion teaches that the cup/wine is the ACTUAL blood of Christ, and every time it is SACRIFICED on the table/ALTER, Christ dies again.
I am not misrepresenting this idolatrous teaching. According to Roman religion, the bread and the wine are not symbols or representatives of the body of Christ, they say it "becomes the actual body, blood and deity of Christ."
UNLIKE SINNING RELIGION
Sinning religion is correct when it says that Jesus died only once, and that His death is sufficient. However, God's plan of salvation is not simply what Jesus did on the cross and rising from the tomb for us, but what He does in us because we come to the Father, by Jesus (continuously, repeatedly coming through faith).

He died once, but He lives continually to make intercession for those who are coming to Him. If we only come one time, and then we
fail to CLEAVE TO, REMAIN LOYAL TO the LORD (Ac. 11:23), or
fail to CONTINUE IN the GRACE OF GOD (Ac. 13:43), or
fail to CONTINUE IN, PERSIST IN the FAITH (Ac. 14:22),
He does not make intercession for us.
We are cleansed from all sin, only as we walk in the light as He is in the light (1 Jn. 1:7).
Not only are believers initially saved by grace through faith (Ep. 2:8-10),
the Bible says the just (the justified, the righteous) shall live (continue) by faith (Ro. 1:17; He. 10:38).
God's provision of salvation through Christ's death and resurrection is a one and done, reality. Our personal salvation is a walk the talk, reality (2 Jn. 1:6).
Christ died once, He rose from the dead and continues to live as our High Priest, making intercession for those who come to Him. This intercession is not only for forgiveness, but for cleansing, empowering and every blessing that is included in the atonement. He saves us to the UTTERMOST.
