The same apostle who was inspired by the Spirit to write, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: Anyone abiding in Evangelical Faith must be walking in "good works" 2: Without that walking in "good works" 2: Paul asserted that those who are presently committing sin shall not enter Heaven , i. The Apostle John agreed with Paul that those who were presently committing sin could not enter and defile Heaven. Can Eternal Life Ever Cease?
But, our right to lay claim to Eternal Life can cease. The Gospel of John was written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of promoting Gospel Faith in the reader, i. Therefore, the entire epistle is to be read searching for the theme, "that ye may know" 5: Again, how can we lose our right to claim that we have Eternal Life?

Let us examine a prime example of this concept in the second chapter of the epistle. Or, "He that saith [literally, is saying-- present tense] , I know [literally, I have known-- perfect tense] Him, and keepeth not [literally, is not keeping-- present tense] His Commandments, is [present tense] a liar, and the Truth is [present tense] not in him" 2: To paraphrase the verse, 'He that is saying that I have known Him, and is not keeping His Commandments, is [presently] a liar, and the Truth is [presently] not in him'.
This is the Holy Spirit's Infallible Guide to teaching His people how He takes away our right to claim that we have known Him, when we are walking in present disobedience. Why should the Father give us His gentle assurance of our acceptance and forgiveness, while we are willfully, knowingly disobeying Him? We would no more reward a dog in obedience training for wrong behavior than the Father would reward us with His loving assurance of our Salvation, while we abide in stubborn and willful disobedience.
Since our willful sinning is the same as re-crucifying the LORD Jesus afresh, do we think it is unreasonable that the Father would withhold from us His assurance that we are "accepted in the Beloved" Ephesians 1: The impossibility of renewing them "again unto repentance" is that it is impossible "to renew them" while they are presently crucifying the LORD Jesus, i. In fact, the "deceitfulness of sin" Hebrews 3: For this reason, the human memory of events that are supposed to have been our Evangelical Salvation, cannot be verified without the testimony of the Spirit.

On the other hand, the Spirit warns the Saints that "if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth , there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries" Hebrews This is not only withholding assurance, but it is also the certainty of Judgment to those walking in disobedience. Take care not to tempt the Living God, for "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God" How to Know That You Know he Holy Spirit has established immutable rules of evidence for the knowledge of sonship that no human court can rightfully overturn.
Let us examine another verse, which is adjacent to the previous example-- "He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him" 1John 2: Remember, also, that all the good works attributed to the Saints are not only our "reasonable service" Romans Just as it is altogether proper for the Holy Spirit to withhold any kind of Assurance of Salvation to those who are not presently walking in obedience, it is just as consistent for the Spirit to bestow upon the obedient, tokens of sonship. Since Gospel Salvation is a willing submission in faith to Jesus Christ, then those who are presently submitted to Him, are those to whom the Spirit testifies that they "know Him".
Our obedience is a sign that the promised Holy Spirit of the New Covenant is dwelling within us.
This prophecy should be presently fulfilled in us, for the Apostle Paul has instructed us that we are the temple of God. And, anyone possessing not the Holy Spirit cannot be Christian.
