Particulars: 1. God is His Own Word; 2. Double Predestination and Perseverance of the Saints: God’s judgment of the wicked and salvation of the elect not built on anything but God keeping His Own Word
God is His Own Word
John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Jesus Christ is the Incarnate Word of God. The referenced Scripture is the beginning of the gospel of John and next in order of revelation comes the revealing of Jesus as the Christ/Word. It is impossible to miss the plain order of revelation in which it is revealed that God is His Word and then that God as Word has already become flesh:
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
First we see that God is His Own Word and that by extension, Lucifer, men and God then do not at all share a single language but that God as Word is separate from the speech He as God and Word confounded at the attempt to build the tower of Babel and is Himself uniquely holy. For later in the Gospel of John 14, Christ/Word/God Himself as Jesus Christ says :
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
And also plainly declares to be one with God and be One with the Father:
John 10:30 I and the Father are one.
Plainly, God’s witness of His Own character as being His Own Word is perfect. Of course Jesus Christ is One with the Father and the Holy Spirit: Of course He/They are all One because God is His Own Word, Jesus Christ is Incarnate as God-as-Word and by His Word demonstrates Himself to all as Truth and Light. For through His Word He creates and is therefore not a lie and is truth. The Jews, the Romanists, as well as all pagan religions to this day have no holy Word or any word separate from human speech; they have a collection of God’s sayings they have made a lie by claiming those sayings are exactly powerless enough that they can have authority over them or sayings they claim were revealed by some mystical source they think they must make truth on the moment from within a non-creating mind and contained within the lie of human free will, a lie that could only exist in a language/speech/word not-God. They set themselves up as priests precisely because they claim they alone can understand the mystical speech, yet at the same time must claim free will for themselves and others in order to appear to be have a logical widget to tell others what to do “with” their supposed free will. They point themselves out as liars constantly because they see and understand everything from within the speech God confounded at the attempt to build the tower of Babel. But God is not mocked but glorified instead.
God constantly proves He is His Word by the means of the Gospel of Jesus Christ/Word of God because He constantly, since the beginning and even after the time of the Incarnation and working in power and subsequent crucifixion, death and resurrection and ascension of the Word of God/Jesus Christ into heaven makes new creations in Jesus Christ, called actual Christians, and does so in every generation.
God sends those whom He speaks His Word through and makes new creatures in Jesus Christ as evidenced by God as Word in Scripture:
examples:
God/Word through Paul saying he is a non-metaphorical spiritual father to the Corinthians because of having been used to speak the Word to them:
1Corinthians 4:15 For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus *I* have begotten you through the glad tidings.
God/Word through James explicitly pointing out that God makes us new creatures by His Word and has already done so:
James 1:18,19 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of *his* creatures. So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
God/Word through Peter saying the same:
1 Peter 1:23,25 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the living and abiding word of God…but the word of the Lord abides for eternity. But this is the word which in the glad tidings is preached to you.
Plainly then, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a powerless piece of information one is to obtain via various religious looking rites and costs but is the Word of God Himself in you, that creating speech that created all that is, to include you as new creature. All this is truth because God is His Own Speech/Word AND is not the speech He confounded at the attempt to build the Tower at Babel.
Because God is His Word, He must be consistent with Himself and never lie and indeed says He cannot lie:
Titus 1:2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time,
New creation then is new creation and is forever. Those whom God newly creates to be His children are saved by the fact God is His Own Word and the blood of that Word/Jesus Christ being fulfilled in every way by God Himself. There is no dependence or condition that a pre-new creature in Jesus Christ can satisfy or ‘do’ because the whole work of salvation is wrought by God, as Word, Truth, Spirit and Life.
1Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.
Plainly then, we have assurance of our perpetual salvations being eternal with eternal grace and consequences, forgiveness in Christ is forever and in addition we know that what God has said about the reprobate/wicked/those-who-cannot-hear-God/those who equate the Word of God with the speech of Lucifer and Satan and demons will inevitably come true. We know that only God chooses whom He will save and indeed, by name condemns the rest as striking their name from the Book of Life that contains the names-as-Word-of God written before the foundation of the world. It is not truth that the names struck out are unknown to God or that God has made no specific plans of their eternal future. Quite the contrary:
Jude 1:4 For certain men have got in unnoticed, they who of old were marked out beforehand to this sentence, ungodly persons , turning the grace of our God into dissoluteness, and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
And indeed, everyone who is not in the Book of Life have already been judged and their first sentence is that they will listen to the speech God confounded at the attempt to build the tower at Babel against the Word of God:
Revelation 13:5-8And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to it authority to pursue its career forty-two months.And it opened its mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and those who have their tabernacle in the heaven. And there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation; and all that dwell on the earth shall do it homage,every one whose name had not been written from the founding of the world in the book of life of the slain Lamb.
And after that:
Revelation 21:8 But to the fearful and unbelieving, and sinners , and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
But as for the saints in the Word of God, we shall enter in the holy city only because God is His Word and thus must keep His Word:
Revelation 21:27 And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
Everything is then owed to God, not owed to a concept of religious piety or a hope of an unbroken chain of good deeds. But everyone who is in the Word of God is kept by God for Himself.
John 10:27-30 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can seize out of the hand of my Father.
I and the Father are one.
Do not be deceived by liars who pretend to question your salvation according to your works or by those who work evil constantly and yet say they are saved and understand the Word of God. They seek to argue over Predestination and Perseverance of the Saints on the basis of the supposed truth of human free will and on the basis of self-willed piety to rules they make up: all of what they say is a lie in a speech that will itself be thrown into the lake of fire. God has judged it in God’s double predestination as well, not just the all the lies within it:
Isaiah 47:10-15 For thou hast confided in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath seduced thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, It is I, and there is none but me. But evil shall come upon thee–thou shalt not know from whence it riseth; and mischief shall fall upon thee, which thou shalt not be able to ward off; and desolation that thou suspectest not shall come upon thee suddenly. Stand now with thine enchantments and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to turn them to profit, if so be thou mayest cause terror. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the interpreters of the heavens, the observers of the stars, who predict according to the new moons what shall come upon thee, stand up, and save thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, they that trafficked with thee from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his own quarter; there is none to save thee.
Nahum 1:7-15 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. What do ye imagine against Jehovah? He will make a full end: trouble shall not rise up the second time. Though they be tangled together as thorns, and be as drenched from their drink, they shall be devoured as dry stubble, completely. Out of thee is gone forth one that imagineth evil against Jehovah, a wicked counsellor. Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be complete in number, and many as they be, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder. And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy god will I cut off the graven image, and the molten image: I will prepare thy grave; for thou art vile. Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings, that publisheth peace! Celebrate thy feasts, Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
