DEATH - WINNER & LOSER BELIEVER
At the point of salvation every believer receives the same opportunity, and same priviledge, to exploit the multi-faceted grace of God in regards to the unique spiritual life, which we are given at that moment. The issue: God's plan for our life; Will we fulfil it, or not? "Winner" and "Loser" are the designations for the distinction between believers who sieze the opportunity, and those who donnot. There is a vast difference between the two categories, and these variables are defined by The Word. Reference diagrams and Home page selections are provided, should the visitor care to pursue one or more of the concepts involved. Click on the link option, below. Keep in mind that it is impossible to incorporate the sweeping plan of God in one diagram. His systems and management of human history, right down to the mundane circumstances of every believer's life, are masterworks of perfect coordination and planning on a scale too vast to imagine, and it has many facets. Our knowledge of Him, and His work, is learned a facet at a time, even a fraction of a facet at a time. This diagram deals with the contrasting destinies of both categories of believers. Please note that the "Loser" does not lose his salvation, regardless of his failure in this life. But there are spectaular blessings, over and above the "standard issue blessings" that all believers will receive. Even the Losers will have a resurrection body and perfect happiness. Note that the grace of God has provided for us on an equal basis where only His will is involved, but variations of blessing and punishment come into play where human volition becomes a factor. Freedom, which is the environment of God's Kingdom, insures that there will be great differences in the eternal state. The human volition will determine our eternal status, in terms of honors and blessings, even social strata. Divine Justice bestows blessings according to a fixed scale, and where every man falls on that scale depends on him, alone. The elements involved; 1. Filling of the Holy Spirit 2. A Pastor who teaches from the original languages. 3. Consistent daily intake of Bible Doctrine 4. Application of doctrine to life The Winner will only achieve by this formula.
