Everlasting is in the realm of time, the temporal; it lasts as long as the appointed time last. |

#Eternal_vs_Temporal|
#Eternity_vs_Temporality
#Temporality - the state of existing within
or having some relationship with time.
#Eternity - a state to which time has no
application; timelessness.
Hebrews 5:9 KJV — And being made perfect, he
became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.
Hebrews 9:12 KJV — Neither by the blood of
goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Philippians 2:12 KJV — Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
1 Timothy 4:16 KJV — Take heed unto thyself,
and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save
thyself, and them that hear thee.
The salvation which God purposed, Christ
accomplished, and the Holy Spirit freely applies to each elect personally
(while still dead in trespasses and sins) is the eternal salvation, redeeming
them from the eternal damnation in the lake of fire.
Of this gospel of eternal salvation, it is
said,
Titus 2 - KJV
11 ¶For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might
redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works.
Those whom the Triune God has freely and
graciously saved with eternal salvation are enabled to work out their own
salvation; they are commanded to do so with fear and trembling.
How? By "denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and
our Saviour Jesus Christ."
May the Lord grant you understanding.
AMEN.
