The Cross Worked.

After some introductory posts, I posted two of my older books in installments. As the posts are featured in reverse order on the main page, I imagine several confused people have wandered into a commentary on the Book of Revelation without context. Therefore, let's turn in our Bibles to Hebrews 10:14:

"For by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."

The Cross worked. If you believe in Him, you are a totally forgiven person. Even your next sin is forgiven. He's not dying again and again, and you're not being forgiven again and again. If He has perfected you forever, that is impossible to mess up; that would require you somehow to be temporarily imperfect. You are not falling out of fellowship with Him and begging your way back into His good graces. God doesn't accept apologies; He accepts blood, and the issue has been settled. You are not making yourself holy. You are being made holy. How? Believers in Christ have the new heart, new spirit, and the Holy Spirit (that were all promised parts of the New Covenant), but we are still waiting for our resurrection bodies (similar to Christ's present physical form). When we see Him with our own eyes, we will be like Him. Until He returns, we all stumble in many ways, and we are all learning and growing as children of God. That doesn't make us any less saints at any point in the process. An acorn grows into an oak tree, but it is an oak the whole time.

Since you are a good person now, Believer, thanks to what Jesus has already done for you, then doing bad stuff is out of character for you. Go forth and be excellent to each other, please and thank you.
