We must not neglect so great salvation for it is eternal salvation
For "He became the author of eternal salvation" Heb 5:9. Jesus said, "And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish..." Jn 10:28. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God" 1 Jn 3:2. Not one day we will be the sons of God but NOW are we the sons of God. We were "born of God"
"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (on the cross and suffer and die for all of our sins) that whoever believeth in him (and what He did to get them to heaven) should not perish but have eternal life" Jn 3:14. Remember when Jesus suffered and died for our sins, ALL of our sins were in the future, none had been committed yet. He did not die just for the sins we committed before we were saved but for all, before and after we were saved.
When my son does something wrong he does not cease to be my son. He was born my son and that can not change. He will lose fellowship and I my have to chasten him but he is still my son. So it is with God. A Christian is "born of God" and that is an eternal relationship. When we sin, it breaks our fellowship not our relationship. When we confess our sin it restores the fellowship.
Now we must not neglect this great salvation. Make sense? We must "prepared to meet thy God" ABC Sumner
