The one question I ask others is have you found yourself in Him n 99 percent of the time I don't get an answer idk i just don't know anymore✌
Have you ever wondered about a former believer that would wind up denying Him about how He is abiding in them still 100% of the time? Unless they look to Him for help to see the lies that turned them away from Him, they are at risk of being denied by the Bridegroom when He comes and they get left behind, but yet He abides in them still. That is why we are still to call them to depart from iniquity so that they may obtain the eternal glory that comes with our salvation in Christ Jesus of being that
vessel unto honor in His House, the
vessel of gold & silver, to be received by the Bridegroom, rather than denied by the Bridegroom for being in iniquity & left behind to die, only to be resurrected after the great tribulation as being that
vessel unto dishonor in His House,
vessels of wood & earth, to serve the King of kings on earth.
2 Timothy 2:10
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus
with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him
: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some
. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
So a believer may not be abiding in Him 100% of the time, but He is abiding in us 100% of the time because we are always Spirit-filled since salvation as a testimony from God that we are saved.
Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Remember this promise from Jesus below?
Matthew 5: 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
This was fulfilled when any sinner comes to & believe in Jesus Christ for why they will never hunger nor thirst again to be filled with the Spirit after salvation.
John 6: 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
So the question to ask others isn't really about if they are in Him 99 % of the time, but if they know they are complete in Christ since salvation since having come to & believed in Him?
Colossians 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ
. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
With Him in us 100% of the time, there is only running that race by faith in Jesus Christ as our Good Shepherd to help us to abide in Him & His words in following Him by laying aside every weight & sin daily in walking in the light fellowship with the Father & the Son.
Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and
let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
1 Corinthians 9:
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Did you know you were complete in Christ 100 % of the time since you had come to & believed in Him at the calling of the gospel?
Matthew 12: 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 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.
Hebrews 12:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Galatians 3: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ... 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
