FAQ # 75

QUESTION  75 :  According to Ezekiel 18:24-26 and other Old Testament scriptures, a man that “turneth away from his righteousness and committeth iniquity” must die in them and so loses his salvation. How much more us?

That was the Old Covenant or another dispensation of God’s dealings with humanity. For instance, some of the Israelites sinned one time with Dathan and their names were blotted out of the book of life (Ex 32:33). According to Paul’s epistle and logics, the New Covenant or a newer thing make the old obsolete (Heb 8:13). Hence, your verses and arguments is null and void or inapplicable to the New Covenant, where its no more works but faith in Christ finished work; obtained and retained forever by the one time obedience (Heb 5:9) to the gospel – Acts 2:38. Here is the New Covenant in scripture,

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now, where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin” (Heb 10:16-18). Because, “by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified” (Heb 10:14).
