Her heads judge for a bribe, Her priests teach
for pay, And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the LORD, and say,
“Is not the LORD among us? No harm can come upon us.” – Micah 3v11
What utter hypocrisy on the part of the priests. These guys were so
sure of themselves that they thought because they were God’s men nothing could
happen to them. They were dishonest and corrupt and led by money and yet they
said ‘We are on God’s side, nothing can happen to us!’
I firmly believe in the doctrine of eternal security. I firmly believe that
once a person puts their faith in Jesus Christ that they are His forever and
nothing can ever remove them from Christ’s family. I believe their eternity is
from that moment on secure in Him.
However, that doesn’t mean, as those who disagree would say, that once
you are saved you can just do whatever you want. Eternal security does not
lesson the importance of holy living. Those of us who are saved have liberty in
Christ, but that does not mean that we have licence to sin.
I hope none of us ever gets the idea that our sin is no big deal
because our salvation is secure. The problem is that these guys were not
secure. They mocked God with their sin and destruction soon followed. Their
false profession brought about their doom.
Professing Christians who are comfortable with their sin because they
are trusting in the fact that they cannot lose their salvation had better be
sure they had it in the first place.
