Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. You cannot become unborn, You are His child forever. If life has left you with a heavy burden and you feel caught and tired of failures you have an Advocate in heaven with the Father. Listen to what is written: 1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, [That One Another is with you and the LORD] and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Note it does not say has cleansed but is cleansing.
Living in Fellowship with Whom You Have Believed! "Alpha and Omega" are the first and last letters of the Greek Alphabet. The believer is in Him and is to live and walk in Him. You should not try to live outside of Him!
Are you persuaded that Jesus is able to keep that which He promised? Are you persuaded that Jesus is telling the truth when He said, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. If you know that He is telling you the truth then you should be able to say, "I have confidence in whom I have believed and believe that He is able to keep that which He promised me.
It has been 2,000 years more or less since Cross, and the Resurrection, and we are way over in the end time. Here is what I believe, 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. He is waiting not willing that any should perish â€" He is waiting and people are coming to faith in Christ and He is waiting for Believers to repent and confess their sins
How fitting that Jesus was born where all the sacrificial lamb made under the law were born. Since He is the end of all those sacrifices, Heb 9:26 "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." Rom 10:4 "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Every believer's faith is tested, 1Pe 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1Pe 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
We need an understanding of the message of Christ. He is the Word of God. He spoke words here on earth, John 14:1-6. Beyond the word here on earth He is the Living Word of God. Though not on earth He still speaks. Jesus gave you a place with the Father.
His message of saving grace and power was given in the Garden, Gen. 3:21, See Hebrews 11:1-4
What God did for Adam and Eve was a temporary fix pointing to the Jesus Christ who is the Permanent Sacrifice, Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

What is at stake is the truth or the untruth of What God has said. And what has God declared? What is the testimony about His Son? V11a " He is saying that Eternal Life is God's Gift to us in Christ. There is no other work given to possessing eternal life than to possess God's Son V11b and 12. Then you the believer in the Son may know that they have eternal life V13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
When Christ died you died with Him. 2Co_5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 2Co_5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. That new life you have is Christ in you " your potential to have victory " to finish the race to stand up for Christ., to walk in fellowship with Him and with each other. I wrote an article a long time ago, "If One died for all then all are dead" and Christ died for all =you.
