If You Do These Things, You Shall Never Fall
aqrinc:
My understanding of this is, we walk by Faith and not by sight. For if we see it already then we have no need of faith. But if we exercise The Faith Given to us By GOD, then we grow from Faith to Faith Daily. We make choices all day and every day by the thousands.
Here are choices each of us makes minute by minute daily:
Joshua 24: 11-15 (CLV)
11 `And you pass over the Jordan, and come in unto Jericho, and fight against you do the possessors of Jericho--the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--and I give them into your hand.
Here we must exercise The Faith, Given to us, and Choose to believe GOD Will Deliver.
12 And I send before you the hornet, and it casts them out from your presence--two kings of the Amorite--not by your sword, nor by your bow.
Here we must trust GOD, that HE Will Conquor our enemies, By HIMSELF.
13 `And I give to you a land for which you have not labored, and cities which you have not built, and you dwell in them; of vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted you are eating.
Here we learn to seek first HIS Kingdom, And Righteousness; then HE ALONE PROVIDES for us.
14 `And now, fear (Honor) you Yahweh, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the elohims which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve you Yahweh;"
Here we learn why we should HONOR GOD; and not to trust in our own treasures or abilities.
15 and if wrong in your eyes to serve Yahweh--choose for you to-day whom you do serve; --whether the elohims whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the elohims of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling; and I and my house--we serve Yahweh..
Now we make the choice, to Serve GOD (Yahweh Elohim) with every thing we do, every minute of every day.
Yes choices are what we make all day, as does every living human being. We though have the ability to see and choose clearly; Only By GOD'S GRACE And FAITH HE GIVES us.

Hello Bunni,
There is also a bible study from March 2008, titled 'Can we Lose God's Spirit and Eonian Life' (http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,7047.0.html). And here is the link to the audio: http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,8256.0.html.
Hope this helps,

I just laugh and say no that is not true, I just have no desire to be the person that I was nor do I have any interest in doing the things I used to do.

Eph 4:23-24 Be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Col 3:9-10 ...seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

I'm not complaining because I know the end results are worthwhile and justified and I don't miss any of the stuff I've given up from my former life, I just have moments whee I have to really focus and thinking and analyze certain situations and try to figure out which category they fall under.

John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Rom 6:4-5 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Acts 17:27-28 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Ps 15:14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge...
Your thoughts & words really line up with spiritual admonitions in His Word...all glory to God.
