Being Saved Eventually Deified

I have a new acronym like OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved)

It is my oen invention for which I accept full blame.

B S E D stands of Being Saved Eventually Deified.

"Being Saved" I think should be discussed first as an ongoing process which reaches a climax.

Humans get "deified"??

Surely you have your tongue in your cheek.

Being Saved Eventually Deified.

Some may prefer to exchange deified for glorified.

By deified there are some things that I do not mean.
The saved will never be the Source as the etermal Father of divine life.
The saved will never be objects of worship being deified.
The saved will never have been always eternal being deified.
The saved will never be omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent being deified.
The saved will bever be Creators of universes being deified.
The saved will never be able to accomplish eternal redemption for others as
Christ did in their being deified.


There are perobably some other non-cumminicable attreibutes of God that could be specified. This is adaquate for now. And I have written this before on other threads.

My usage of the word deification does not entail any of the above things.

Lucifer, the Day Star was a being whose rebellion against God took on two major aspects.

Isaiah 14 speaks of His rebellion against God's authority.
Ezekiel 28 speaks of His rebellion against God's holiness.

One thing this arch angel never had. He never had the life of God. He never had God living in him. He was a high creature. He was a high creation of God responsible for leading the worship of the universe to God.

He never has God within.

Saved humanity has an organic relationship with the Father such that God's life is dispensed into them. The saving of them is not of their striving but of God's life in Christ imparted into them and operating in them.

"For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life." (Rom. 5:10)

The saving is in the realm of His life.
The rescuing, the transformation, the conformation is not of the believer's striving
in his natural created self. Rather it is the operation of His life. In the sphere and
realm of the life of Christ in them they are saved.

This is something NO ANGEL of any kind ever had - God's life living in them and they in the sphere and realm of that imparted Person.

Here we see God in the saved also:

"Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in Him and he in God." (1 John 4:15)

" And we know and have believed the love which God has in us, God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God abides in him." (v.16)

"And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we might know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life." (1 John 5:20)

Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God." (1 John 3:9)

The SEED of God within the one begotten of God is the divine life of God living in him. According to this new SEED, the believer must learn to live turning over more and more of his being to the mighty influence of this SEED of God's life.

The life of God in him is the sin overcoming power of divine life.
And it is the terminating the old man and exalting seed of the Triune God
deifying the believers who have been begotten of God.

a stroke is a devious and horrific thing to watch
and yet has no intention of harm

Amen.

The same letter says - "For we by the Spirit out of faith eagerly await the hope of righteousness." (5:5)

Read the whole book sometime.

Amen to that.

Grit your atheist teeth someday and read the whole book, why don't you?
