08/12/17 NON-NEGOTIABLE

Luke 17:33
(33) Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Matthew 10:32-33
(32) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(33) But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

CONSIDER THESE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE SAME TRUTH.

* He who is willing to die for Christ in this life shall save his life forever.
* He who seeks to save his life in this world, by denying * Christ, shall lose his life forever.
* He who seeks to take the life of a Christian in this world, will lose his own life forever.

* You either will submit to being persecuted or you are separated from God forever.
* If you seek to save, to preserve, to keep your life from persecution in this world, you will be lost forever.
* If you persecute others in this world, you will be lost forever

* The only exception for being lost is repentance, turning from the sin of denial.
