Ever turn your back?

A Professed Christian who Turns away from the truth and turns His back on Jesus Christ and refuses to suffer for His sake was NOT a True Believer in the first place. A person who Genuinely belongs to Christ may sometimes be Disobedient, but he will Never Reject His Lord. The person who Belongs to Christ continues to Confess Him, to Serve Him, and to Suffer for Him when that is necessary. He does not endure because of his Own Strength but because he is consumed by Christ’s own Spirit, who Never Fails to give sustaining Grace to God’s Children. False Converts— They will put their hand to the Plow of Discipleship, but they will NOT Forsake the Old Life (Matt 7:21-23), Demonstrating that they have Never Received the New. They are therefore Not "Fit for the Kingdom of God," Jesus said, because their Hearts have NEVER been with Him (Luke 9:57-62).

Jason, I think this is the best thing you've ever written. Straight from the heart and straight from God's word.

Thanks for calling it as you (and the Lord) see it.

I wish I could take credit for it but this is some things that I have been studying and learning from scripture and Godly men. ALL GLORY TO GOD!
