Once Saved Always Saved?

I was in fellowship with brothers in the faith, not to long ago and the
subject came up, Once Saved always Saved! Which for some is to them
OK, but to others it is not altogether, truth. Why ? You say on one side
his word said in (Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Savior shall be saved. This is a truth that many stand on
firmly). But look in the scriptures a bit more and see (If you forgive, you
will be forgiven but if you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven.       
( Mat 6:14-15)  Then the parable in (Mat 18:23-35) In which verse 35 is
what all must see, (So my heavenly Father also will do unto you, if you
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses).
Verse 34 said he was held accountable for his own debt, to pay it
himself. I do not know about you but, I would not be able to pay my
own debt, none of us would be able to. It is only by his Grace and
Mercy that we can experience the true life eternal, the hope of glory in
him. By ourselves we all fall short of the glory of YHWH, for none is
righteous no not one. Our righteousness is but filthy rags to YHWH
Almighty. He would toss even the best of the self righteous in the (lake
of fire and brimstone in a twinkle) for we cannot make a suitable
sacrifice to atone for even the least of all sins, as if we were someone
special. YHWH is no respecter of persons, and gives no special
treatment to those who think they are. We are able to understand more
as we seek his truth and follow through with that which we have learned.
Our Sovereign Mighty YHWH desires that of us as he says, It is his will
that all men be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth. The
truth only comes by studying his word and the real mysteries of his word
are only revealed to those that study to show there selves approved unto
YHWH workman that need not be ashamed of rightly dividing the word
of truth. So as we all learn more of his word we are able to discern more
and are held more accountable for what we learn of his will. For instance
when the law came by Moses all learned they were wrong and had
sinned, then they were accountable for their actions. So we, as well are
accountable for what YHWH  teaches us in his word. Does that mean I
will not go to heaven if I do not learn? He clearly said it in (Hosea 4:1-6)
Verse: 6  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you
have rejected my knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no
priest to Me, seeing you have forgotten the law of your creator, I will
also forget your children). So you can ask him for yourself in prayer or
learn his word. There are places in his word where he says that men will
not enter in to the kingdom of heaven, for one reason or another, or be
cast out into outer darkness. He is perfecting, completing and sanctifying
us for his purpose, His desire, His good pleasure. That only happens by
learning about him and the things he will not tolerate or allow in the
heavenly place, and there will be no excuses, Like I didn't’t know! That
is why his word is so important for us to learn and use, for our heart,
mind, and soul to become like that of the beloved Son Yahushua the
Messiah. With his righteous and holy ways, and his righteous and holy
morels a part of our total being, that our every thought would be taken
captive by the truth of his word in us. YES! We are supposed to keep
his truth in our hearts and apply all we learn in our daily walk with him.
For instance his word clearly says do not steal, so if we purposely steal
is that OK? No, I know it is wrong. So by doing wrong the law of sin
applies and we are in full disobedience to YHWH, by doing so.
Remember Adam and Eve only disobeyed once, and the whole existence
of man was changed. What if I just stop learning and do not study any
more? Then you lose the race! We are called to persevere and
overcome, so to know the right thing and not do it is a sin. That is not to
say, what if I have things working against me and I know what I am
supposed to do but cannot seem to overcome them or it ? As long as
you do not quit he will not quit, and each try is accounted as learning
when we fail or take even a little ground, these are called trials and
tribulations. He says in his word that he is long suffering and patient,
well that is one way we can see he is truthful and faithful about our short
comings, and knows we are in need of his strength to claim victory. So
let me say this,  Once Saved always Saved ? What do you think or
better yet what do you know?       ISAIAH 35:10
Verse 10 ( And the ransomed of YHWH shall return, and come to Zion
with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy
and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away)!  AMEN!

I will pray for you.
May YHWH bless you good.
Your brother in the faith by Yahushua the Messiah!
