...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; or with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Romans 10:9-10
At the moment of salvation, every believer in Jesus Christ receives 40 things from God. Of the 40 things, 39 of them are permanent and can never be removed from the believer - even by God Himself! The only temporary thing is the Filling of the Holy Spirit which we lose due to our own free will to act against God. We can repeatedly gain the Filling of the Spirit following confession of our known sins to the Father.
21. Unseen Assets
At the moment of salvation, we receive all of
the unseen assets of the Christian life. Our recognition, utilization, and
possession of these assets requires our daily spiritual growth which is
necessary to receive blessing because of our election to privilege and
opportunity and predestination. It is also necessary to function under our
priesthood and to fulfill our ambassadorship.
Spiritual growth also enables us to "live
out of our own souls" and to realize that all assets, provision, and
blessing for time and eternity are guaranteed by the Triune God! All of this
demands maximum Bible truth living in our souls as Spirit-filled Christians.
Ephesians 1:2-6
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing
in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy
and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons
through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of
his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
(Ephesians 1:2-6)
22.
Judgement of Sins
All of our sins were judged under the spiritual
death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The application of this truth to our lives as
Christians is of the utmost importance because all of our personal sins were
judged at the cross. Whenever we confess all of our known sins to God the
Father, He forgives those known sins and he also forgives all of the unknown
sins.
This "forgiveness and cleansing" is a
reality in our lives because Christ was judged for all sins in His spiritual
death on the cross. also, our confession of sins is the basis for the
frustration of the Old Sin Nature controlling our lives and our restoration to
fellowship with God. 1 Pet 2:24; Romans 4:25; 1 John 1:9
He himself bore our sins in his body on the
tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds
you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
He was delivered over to death for our sins and
was raised to life for our justification. (Romans 4:25)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John
1:9)
