The Essential Truth of the Gospel

Guido

Active Member
It is unknown by many that the truth of the gospel essential for saving the one who believes it, is that whoever believes in Jesus Christ, and not in the merits of their own human efforts, before or during or after the moment they initially exercise faith, that very believer has eternal life, granted by God, irrevocable, at the very first moment of their faith.

I am aware that I used numerous phrases having already been written. I made no endeavor to invent new language, but merely aimed to declare the gospel in harmonious sounding language, making use of whatever language I could think of mostly easily, regardless of how simple or complex, and not without editing carefully. With respect to sound, I feel as though my effort was of insufficiency. I'm not sure about clarity or content.

Also, I'm not a pastor. I don't know why everyone keeps thinking that. Are people not allowed here unless they are pastors?

for a sinner to either BELIEVE or DISBELIEVE, require FREE WILL, which every human has built into their dna!

It is human "theology" that has done much damage to the plain Truth of the Gospel Message, where some DARE to place "limits" in the extent and scope of the Death of Jesus Christ, Who Himself says plainly, that HE LOVES THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE VERY MUCH WITH A SAVING LOVE!

If Christ loves the entire human race so much then why are there those residing in hell?

It is because God loves His creation that He has given them an actual free will with which to make real choices up to and including where they will spend eternity.
Free will without boundaries isn’t all it’s cracked up to be not for all humans who sin. Even after regeneration and conversion the heart still wants the things we are forbidden from having, therefore I still have a desire to sin.

It behoves me now to acknowledge this, that I failed to declare the gospel of grace in accordance with total accuracy, the error revealing a truth to my mind, as many have endeavored to open the same thereto, which also, while making neglect of it long, long I have understood, that prior to the clothing of a thought in beauty, it ought fully lucid be written down, fully formed, not having received the effort of ornamentation, these by the same who is minded to render orament thereto. Moreover, that I should handle the gospel without meticulous caution, it is truly a very wicked thing, for which I repent, and ask forgiveness of all whose faith is therein.

I don't mean to show off. Sorry. I am just practicing. I had long been able to write clear, complex sentence for a long time already, but just recently became able to write them so smoothly. It might be due to practice editing, practice varying the feet of prose rhythm in scansion marks or both. Next thing to tackle is rhythmic effects. I must practice harmony for a long time. I still need to work of being fully clear.

If I showed off I apologize. I just like writing in this manner.

Sorry, I know I'm going off topic. I did not state the gospel clearly. I am also not a Calvinist.

Isn't it sinful to ornament the gospel?

Once again this post proclaims an unstudied fiction. Individuals are not "automatically saved" before, during or after the moment they initially exercise faith. The Second and Third Soils of Matthew 13 exercised their faith, yet were not saved. God must credit the person's flawed faith as righteousness. And if God does not, He does not transfer them from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of His Beloved Son.

Man does not have free will with out boundaries, Man can not save himself nor can he flap his arms and fly but that does not preclude him having the free will to make real choices. God gave man a free will and thus will hold them responsible for the choices they make.

Being born again does not equate to sinless perfection, even though some think it does. The free will that man exercised when he trusted in Christ unto salvation is the same free will that he has after he is saved.

Who thinks that?
