The duty or responsibility of being a Christian.
Obeying the message of the gospel.
GOD is aware that even though Christians have a portion of HIS Holy Spirit they can still sin.
Sin for a Christian is not loving GOD and neighbor. It is having thoughts that are evil, that consider doing something that is not of GODS agape. No actions or words are required, just the thought. We are not yet perfect as long as we are in the flesh but our hope is to be born into the kingdom of GOD where we will be changed into immortal, impeccable spirit beings as perfect as GOD in righteousness and love.
If any of us sin we have our savior, Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice for us that the sin is blotted out upon sincere repentance and because we have faith to believe all these things, GOD imputes HIS own righteousness to us as a spiritual covering to shield us from being condemned with the carnal world.
All these tremendous blessings are for the church, the elect saints of GOD and no one else. Even the knowledge of these things is only for the elect. We, the elect receive this spiritual knowledge by divine revelation from GOD through the mediator Jesus Christ. All of GODS elect saints therefore by necessity must be prophets and prophetesses to receive the divine revelation.
The elect must never refuse to repent or try to hide their sins because GOD has known all of our thoughts, words and deeds in eternity. GOD sacrificed HIS only son, the only righteous man who ever lived, for us, to give us all these blessings because HE first loved us and now we owe GOD our highest love. We saints have no idea about the awesome glory that GOD desires to give us, it is beyond human comprehension.
For those of us who have been called and chosen, placed by GOD HIMSELF in HIS church, it is literally the greatest thing that could ever happen to any human being.
Take comfort in this one thought; in the book of Revelation 19:20 “the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who performed miracles on his behalf. With signs deluded those who received the mark of the beast and worshiped it’s image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur.” This verse takes place at the return of Christ and notice, only the beast and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire, no one else. This means that none of GODS elect saints will be cast into the lake of fire. Both the beast and false prophet must have had at one time the Holy Spirit and blasphemed the spirit because this is the only way to the second death. All others that died and committed the unpardonable sin before this event and before the millennium and great white throne judgement will never have a resurrection from the dead.
Our future in GODS kingdom is dependent on our being faithful to the message of the gospel, obedience to the teachings of the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles; to willingly with our whole heart submit ourselves to our GOD. If we do this we will never fail.
