"Will Christians be left behind?"


 
 
 
 As a reader of 5 Doves now for almost 2 years, I can say there have been many posts that I do not agree with. However, I am usually not compelled to say much about it. When it comes to christians being left behind after the rapture, that I feel compelled to address...
 
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
 
Christ has saved the believer to the uttermost "Panteles" which means utterly, perfectly, and completely.
 
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
 
The believer also has been perfected forever, by that one offering. How are we sanctified?
 
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
 
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Ephesains 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
All believers are sealed by God, which is a proof of purchase, we are a purchased possession.
 
Ephesians 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
We are purchased by the blood of Christ, and sealed till the day of Redemption. We are also kept by His power, He holds us in His hands. So the believer as a purchased possession, perfected forever, saved to the uttermost, will not be left behind. We have been reconciled to God, we do not need further perfection, or reconciliation. To teach otherwise is to cheapen the effecacious power of the blood of Christ, and His work on the Cross. So in no way, shape, or form will any believer be left behind.
