In this episode from GraceNotes no. 96, we discuss the three similar lists of sins that all have the same consequence for those who commit them: they will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:3-5). Some think that Paul is saying that those who commit such sins will lose their salvation or that they were never truly saved at all. Others say that "not inherit" refers to forfeiting rewards in the coming kingdom. A better interpretation is that Paul is simply saying that these sins are characteristic of unbelievers, so Christians should not act like them. These sins can describe a believer in Christ as shown throughout the New Testament, especially in 1 Corinthians. The interpretation that the readers could lose their reward or that the readers should not act like unbelievers both keep the gospel of grace free from works to earn, deserve, or keep their salvation. Kingdom-bound believers should not act like hell-bound unbelievers. Please leave your comments, like this episode, and share it with others. #GraceLifeMinistries#SimplybyGrace#EternalSecurity
