How God Is Bringing The Good Work In Us To Completion

[TheBlade]

What He starts He always finishes and He does not lose. He is the only one that is there no matter how many times you fall and take the wrong path be it moments or years He is still there never once condemned you judged you just loved you as He smiles and picks you up. He has the enemy and "Christians" for the condemning and judging....ouch. 

As for backsliders some would call that apostasy but what and just who are they walking away from?  No offense please but most if asked to talk about your spouse or kids or best friend.. you know them you love them yet when it comes to Christ and the sweet sweet holy Spirit they don't know Him like that yet will tell you "obey Him if you love Him". Something that was said years after the 12 had walked with him day in day out. There is a personal reason I always say "sweet sweet holy Spirit". 

Praise GOD we can quote the scripture.. Satan knows it better them most of us....but do we know Him? Just saying.. be careful when talking about "backsliders" or any other believer or group for we are not even right here of one accord and there is no Apostle or prophet here .. no one ever has to believe or follow what we say. 

We forget He is out side of time. We see someone fall backslide for years yet for Him it was not even a moment. We take what just happened or a year or two and judge. What about the life time before where they walked hand in hand or after? He sees it all. You are so much more then what just happened.. one moment in time or sin does not define you. We have to take everything and sift it through Christ first. See people through His eyes. Then here we are right back to the start.. what He has started in you and me He will not maybe not might but will finish it.

With a question like @Dennis1209 mentioned we'd have to respond with " backsliding from what"? Many will quote from Scripture,perhaps regarding the Apostle Peter denying Jesus not once,not twice but 3 times but we must remember we have no example of a man Inwelled by Holy Spirit and " backsliding"- do we?... yes,Annointed men who had the Holy Spirit Upon them but they had not Received God's Spirit by Christ Jesus Abiding within( eg: before Jesus Died ,Rose & sent His Spirit)....so can a Born Again Believer ever truly " backslide"

I've not said one can or can not but you have to wonder,don't you?

With love in Christ,Kwik

The answer is yes. To the believers in Jesus Christ and members of the church it was said to let go of the works of the flesh. 

They did not stopped going to church but they were found doing the works of the flesh. They believe while they were doing the works of the flesh and they were found randomly doing the works of temptation and they were call to overcome. Some works of the flesh are very addictive and to some their involvement is deep as they are defined by those works who had become their nature. They need extra grace and grace upon grace. Jesus will never cast them out. It is against his Atonement. The door is open for them. How he treats them here on earth he knows how and it his to decide how. Some of them they become preachers at the end. Anyway the sins of the flesh remain in the flesh. Thanks Jesus for that. 

We are not Jews who were depending on the yearly Atonement and their individual sacrifices for Atonement and sanctification.

Many years ago ,yet a babe- one foot drawn to the world,sins of the flesh & one foot in Spirit- struggling between flesh & spirit and a dear Sister in Christ said to me- " When God Looks at you do you know Who He Sees?"  I said,yes- a sinner..... she said" the Precious Blood of the Lamb Covers every inch of you- God Sees His Son!  Stop trying so hard and LET Jesus...."

I think her words had much to do with the beginning of truly Renewing of my mind....Understanding God's GRACE more that day helped me to Trust God Would Complete the Work He Started because it was Finished,2000 yrs ago

So yes,God is not bound by space or time- He Sees us Completed in Christ because just like He is "I Am"- we Are also Eternally His
