Now, having seen, ETERNAL LIFE FOR THOSE GOD LOVES, We come to our second division;
2. NO JUDGMENT ON THOSE GOD LOVES-JOHN 3;17-21-[TURN].
God didn't send His Son to Mankind, To judge The World of The Elect, but, that, The World of The
Elect MAY BE SAVED.
The Elect are saved through The Agency of The Lord Jesus Christ.
Some people say that John 3;17 means that Christ did not judge, the 1st time, that He came;
but will, at The 2nd Coming.
But He did judge, manifested by His driving the money-changers, out of the temple.
In John 3;18, The Person believing, because of Him, is not being judged.
Unbelievers stand judged, because they REFUSE to believe that Jesus Christ is The Person, His
Name declares Him to be, The Only Given Son of God.
The only 2 major divisions of people, in The World of Mankind are believers, and unbelievers.
There is no 3rd category, composed of unbelievers, who, at one time were believers. . .
Those who accept the possibility of Christians becoming Unbelievers. ask about those, who believe for a brief time, and in the time of trial, become Apostates-
LUKE 8;13-''They on the rock are they, which when they hear, receive the Word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away''. [Temporal or Superficial Faith.]
There are 5 kinds of Faith, that do Man no good-Superficial, Historical, Satanic, External and
Commercial Faith.
NOW, Get This Truth; APART FROM A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE LIFE, ONE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
HANDLE THE SCRIPTURES, WHICH SEEM TO CONTRADICT.
Those who do not have The Subjective Life of The Spirit in Regeneration, may believe for a short time with human [superficial or temporal] faith-Luke 8;13-[Turn].
And they may believe, in the same manner, as those, who saw the miracles Christ did-External Faith-John 2;23-25-[Turn].
Simon Magnus had Commercial Faith; He heard Philip's Preaching, and wanted to buy the power, he saw in Peter's working of miracles-Acts 8;12-23-[Turn].
The devils believe [Satanic Faith]-James 2;19-[Turn]. The difference between Religionists and devils is that Religionists do not tremble, or shudder.
So, we see that believing apart from The Regenerating Spirit is a faith, that WON'T ENDURE
THE TEST.
Now, The One, who consciously lays hold of Jesus Christ, because he has been consciously laid hold of, by The Regenerating of The Holy Spirit, HAS SAVING FAITH.
The ''Spirit of Faith'' [2 Corinthians 4;13], is a part of The Subjective Life of The Spirit in
Regeneration, and that which is a part, CANNOT BE THE CAUSE of The Whole.
Since no fact can be known BEFORE Its existence, then, One can't know by faith, that he has been Regenerated, UNLESS HE HAS BEEN REGENERATED.
I JOHN 5;1-''WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.''
Faith, apart from The Spirit of Regeneration is only Unregenerate Human Faith.
The Elect are capable of objectively laying hold of Christ by Faith, because having been legally crucified with Christ at Calvary, we have been subjectively laid hold of in Regeneration.
I JOHN 5;9-13-[Turn].
Now, I want to say, ANY PERSON WHO CANNOT SEE THAT ''BORN OF GOD'' PRECEDES
''BELIEVING'' IS EITHER SPIRITUALLY BLIND, or He is so filled with such prejudice, that he cannot see The Forest of God's Truth, for the trees of Human Tradition, and Denominational Customs.
Some people feign what they are not.
Simulation, The Act, or Process of Pretending, is popular Today.
A Simulator is a person, or thing, that simulates, as we have simulated Diamonds.
The Average Church Member cannot distinguish between a simulated Church Member, from One, born of God, because he has so little knowledge of God's Word, which enables One, to make A Righteous Judgment, according to God's Word-John 7;24-[Turn].
