Faith Plus Means No Assurance

There is absolutely nothing to the belief that everlasting life once received cannot be lost that suggests our behavior is not important to God.  Jesus Christ made that clear in all His teaching including what He said in John 8:31-32.  He desires that everyone take up the challenge of being a disciple.  However, being a disciple does nothing to eliminate the main barrier to entrance into Heaven.  Look at John 3:3.   The man Nicodemus would not see the eternal kingdom because he was dead.  His behavior was not the issue it was his lack of life, everlasting life.  He needed the second birth.  Death is what blocks the way to entering the eternal Kingdom. 
 
A dead person doesn’t need to clean up his or her life.  They don’t have a life to clean up!  They need two things.  The removal of whatever caused their death and then a new life installed.  Jesus Christ took away the sin of the world (Psalms 103:12 & John 1:29).  That was the cause of death.  Having removed sin He now is free to offer the rebirth unto everlasting life to all who believe in Him.  It really is that simple (2 Corinthians 11:3). 
 
Those who insist that continued faith coupled with good works are necessary to get you across the finish line just removed any chance of certainty.  Because no one has ever offered a quantitative measure of when you’ve done enough accept the Lord.  And He said you have to keep the whole Law 100% of the time.   Deuteronomy 27:26 - Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law by observing them.’  Galatians 3:10 - For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
