Bible and lukewarm

HEY PPL! i am back!! hahahaha=)
Oh! i have learnt really great things and facts from Grace Lum! on fri's cell.
I really wanna thank God for her! she is Really good!!
Oh! i had loads of fun too!!

Firstly, i wanna ask you all some questions that Grace pointed out!
IS IT TRUE?
1)God will never leave you nor forsake you
2)All sin will be forgiven (when you seek repentance and forgiveness)
3)Once saved, Always saved

Hmmm..you may think that it is ALL true or even like at least the first and second one is true...
HOWEVER, it is ALL half true!! that means they are not entirely true!
you know why?

For the first one, God will never leave you nor forsake you as said in the bible IF you go according to his will!
Lets just say if you did not go according to his plans and wills, you divert from him and stuff, he will forsake you! cause in a way, you are actually sinning!
Oh! you know, when Jesus got persecuted, and was hung on the cross, he said "Father, why have you forsaken me?"
You see, when Jesus died for us, he carried all out sins! he bore so much sin until he was forsaken by God(who is like the perfect one)! somemore he is like the son of God! what more US?

For the second one, Grace read somewhere in the bible that the ONLY SIN that cannot be forgiven is that one curses the holy spirit! this is more of the intention...
If one who commits this sin, he cannot be forgiven by God! but nonetheless, not many ppl do that la...

For the third one is that you are once saved, always saved, if you stay save! and not to backslide!
Do not be lukewarm christians!
What is lukewarm christians? they are christians that are not on fire for God and are not non-believers....
God said in revelation chap 3 verse 16 "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, i will vomit you out of My mouth."
Don't you think it is kinda scary?
So my prayers will always include stuff like hope my passion for God never die! Thats why, if you feel that you are neither here nor there, not a true christian, always always pray!
And that is why church is very important for us to renew ourselves every first day of the week!
This is so that we got the strengh from God to face all challenges throughout the week!

Oh! there is one more point that Grace mentioned that i thought it is really good.
If you don't live out a life as a christian but you believe in God, you are no different from demons!
why?
Because the bible says that the demons believe and shake in fear!
So if we believe, but don't act out like one,we will be just like demons who also disobey God but believe!

Oh! i finally know what is the meaning of Grace
Grace is unmerited favour (it is when you didn't do anything to deserve it, but God still gives it to you)
What is the difference between grace and mercy?
Mercy is when you do something wrong, then you plead for forgiveness, then you are forgiven...

I would like to end off with something..
You are not saved through good works,
If you are saved, you will do good works!

For all those who know me and read my blog, i really need ppl to pray for me to have lots of love for everyone...sometimes it gets really hard to not love the word but love the people that belong to the world...

GOD LOVES YOU ALWAYS!
