ITS NOT A MATTER OF GOOD AND EVIL;
ITS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH

1 Corinthians 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

2 Corinthians 3:6  Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

2 Corinthians 3:9  For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

John 3:16-17  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 5:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 10:10  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


Learning the Word of God about our salvation is building our houses upon the ROCK.

Our lives should recognize that the issue we need ot be concerned about is not a matter of good and evil. Being a matter of LIFE, we must GROW. When an infant errs and clumsily spills drink, the issue at  hand has nothing to do with being good or evil. Many people feel condemned because they do not comprehend the issues of life and death. God is weaning us away from the knowledge of good and evil once we are saved. Lack of faith does not make you evil, either. One can even think, "Oh no!  I always felt I was evil because I had weak faith.  But now I know it was never a matter of good or evil, but life and death.  Therefore, I am evil because I did not know that." This is an entirely different set of choices. EVERYONE in Christ shall life.
1 Corinthians 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Being in Christ includes those immature saints of God and mature saints. Its a matter of LIFE AND DEATH. A PARADIGM is sort of like a platform from which we look at everything.
