YOU HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH TO LIFE

John 5:24: “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

One of the most powerful truths of the gospel is that the believer is not waiting to pass from death to life someday. In Christ, you have already passed from death to life.

Jesus did not say, “He will someday have everlasting life.” He said, “hath everlasting life.” He did not say, “He will eventually pass from death unto life.” He said, “is passed from death unto life.”

This is a present reality for everyone who has believed in Christ.

Before Christ, man was spiritually dead because of sin. Ephesians 2:1 says, “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” But the gospel announces that something has changed. Through faith in Christ, the one who was dead has received life.

Paul explains it this way:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. — 2 Corinthians 5:17

Notice the language: “is.” It is a present reality.

The believer is not trying to become a new creation by his good works. He has become a new creation because he is in Christ.

Colossians 2:13 says:

And you, being dead in your sins... hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.

You were dead, but Christ gave you life.

You were under condemnation, but Christ brought you into justification.

You were separated from God, but through Christ you have been reconciled.

You were spiritually dead, but now you have received eternal life.

This is why the gospel is called good news. The gospel is not primarily a message about what you must do to make yourself acceptable to God. It is the announcement of what Christ has accomplished for you.

Romans 6:4 says that we are raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father.

The resurrection life of Christ is now the believer's reality.

Therefore, the Christian life should not be lived from a consciousness of spiritual death but from the consciousness of the life we have received in Christ.

You don't serve God in order to become alive. You serve God because you have received life.

You don't obey God in order to become a child of God. You obey from the identity you have received as His child.

You don't live holy so that Christ will finally accept you. You live from the acceptance you already have in Christ.

This distinction is important because when believers do not understand what Christ has accomplished, they can spend their entire lives trying to obtain what God has already given them.

The gospel says: you have passed from death to life.

1 John 5:11-12 declares:

God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life.

The question is not whether you can make yourself alive. The question is whether you have the Son.

If you have the Son, you have life.

Christ is your life.

Your confidence is therefore not in your ability to preserve yourself, but in the finished work of Christ and the life He has given you.

This does not give the believer a license to live carelessly. Rather, understanding the life we have received in Christ should produce gratitude, confidence, holiness, and a desire to walk in the reality of our new identity.

We are not trying to earn life.

We have received life.

We are not trying to escape death.

We have passed from death to life.

We are not waiting for Christ to complete the work of salvation.

We are standing in what Christ has already accomplished.

So, believer, understand who you are in Christ.

You were dead, but now you are alive.

You were in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

You were without Christ, but now Christ is your life.

You were under condemnation, but now there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

The gospel is not merely a promise of life someday.

The gospel reveals that in Christ, you have already passed from death to life.

Walk in that reality.

Live from that reality.

And let your life continually testify to the power of the finished work of Christ.

Someone sent us the message in the picture to argue that a believer can lose his or her salvation.

The write-up contains some important truths about Christian maturity, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the believer’s need to submit to God.

However, it makes a major doctrinal leap when it concludes that a person who truly received Christ can eventually lose salvation because of failure to submit or because personal desires overthrow God’s purpose.

That claim must be tested carefully by the New Testament.

First, receiving Christ is not presented in Scripture as merely receiving an opportunity to begin a journey toward salvation. The believer is said to have already passed from death to life:

«“He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” — John 5:24»

Notice the language: everlasting life and has passed from death unto life.

Jesus also said:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. — John 10:28

If eternal life can simply be lost because a believer did not attain a particular level of maturity, then the question becomes: in what sense is the life eternal?

1. The Holy Spirit is given to the believer, but Scripture does not teach that salvation depends on achieving spiritual perfection

It is true that the Holy Spirit lives in the believer.

Paul says:

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts.— Galatians 4:6

And:

Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God? — 1 Corinthians 6:19

The Holy Spirit leads, teaches, corrects, and transforms the believer. But this transformation is the fruit of salvation, not a condition by which the believer earns or maintains salvation.

Philippians 1:6 says:

He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

God does not begin the work and then abandon it because the believer has not reached perfection quickly enough.

2. Scripture teaches growth, but growth is not the same thing as remaining saved

The New Testament certainly commands believers to grow:

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. — 2 Peter 3:18

Believers are also instructed to put away sinful conduct, renew their minds, walk in love, and live according to the Spirit.

But the existence of these instructions does not prove that failure to perfectly obey them causes the believer to lose salvation.

The Corinthians were deeply immature. Paul described them as carnal, characterized by envy, divisions, and strife (1 Corinthians 3:1–3). Yet Paul still addressed them as:

them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints.— 1 Corinthians 1:2

Their conduct needed serious correction, but Paul did not tell them that their salvation had disappeared.

3. The believer's sinful behavior is serious, but it does not mean Christ has abandoned him

The New Testament does not encourage sinful living. Grace is never a license for sin.

Paul asks:

Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. — Romans 6:1–2

Therefore, someone teaching eternal security should never be interpreted as saying, “Since salvation is secure, sin does not matter.”

Sin matters. Holiness matters. Christian conduct matters.

But we must not turn the necessity of Christian growth into a doctrine that contradicts the finished work of Christ.

Romans 8:1 says:

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

The believer's confidence is ultimately in Christ, not in his ability to maintain himself by perfect performance.

4. The “seven churches” in Revelation 2–3 do not prove seven categories of believers concerning salvation

Jesus addressed seven churches in Revelation, and He certainly gave them warnings, corrections, encouragement, and promises.

However, the text does not say that these seven churches represent seven categories of saved people whose salvation can be lost.

These were actual churches in Asia Minor receiving specific messages from Christ.

Some were commended. Some were rebuked. Some were warned to repent.

But we must allow the text to say what it says rather than assigning a doctrine to it that the passage itself does not establish.

For example, Christ told the church at Ephesus to repent because they had left their first love (Revelation 2:4–5). The issue was their spiritual condition and works—not a statement that every believer who becomes spiritually cold has ceased to be born again.

5. The parable of the sower does not automatically teach that genuinely born-again believers lose salvation

The parable of the sower in Matthew 13 describes different responses to the word.

Jesus explains that some seed falls by the wayside, some on rocky ground, some among thorns, and some on good ground.

The rocky-ground hearer receives the word with joy but has no root and falls away when persecution comes (Matthew 13:20–21).

The important question is: Does this passage explicitly say that the person was born again and subsequently lost eternal salvation?

It does not say that.

In fact, Jesus distinguishes between those who merely hear and those who bear fruit. The good ground represents those who hear the word, understand it, and bear fruit (Matthew 13:23).

Therefore, we should not use the parable to establish a doctrine that the text itself does not explicitly teach.

6. The New Testament distinguishes between salvation and the believer's rewards

A believer can fail badly and still suffer loss concerning his works.

Paul says:

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. — 1 Corinthians 3:15

This is extremely important.

There can be loss of reward without loss of salvation.

Therefore, when Scripture warns believers about their conduct, we should not automatically interpret every warning as “you will lose your salvation.”

7. The believer's perfection is ultimately rooted in Christ's finished work

The writer of Hebrews says:

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. — Hebrews 10:14

Notice the remarkable expression:

perfected for ever.

This does not mean that the believer has no need for growth in character or conduct. It means that Christ's sacrifice has completely dealt with the believer's standing before God.

The Christian life is therefore not:

I received Christ, and now I must become perfect enough so that God will continue to accept me.

Rather, it is:

I have been accepted in Christ, and from that secure position I am being transformed by the Spirit.

Ephesians 1:6 says that God has:

made us accepted in the beloved.

Our acceptance is in Christ.

8. We absolutely should submit to the Holy Spirit

This part of the write-up is correct in principle.

The believer should walk in the Spirit:

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. — Galatians 5:16

We should renew our minds (Romans 12:2), put off the old manner of life (Ephesians 4:22–24), walk in love (Ephesians 5:2), and mature in the knowledge of Christ (Ephesians 4:13–15).

But these commands are not evidence that salvation is maintained by our performance.

They describe how the saved person should live.

Conclusion

The proper biblical distinction is this:

Salvation is received by grace through faith in Christ, not earned by spiritual maturity.

Sanctification is a process of growth in the believer's life.

Christian maturity requires submission to the Holy Spirit.

Sin is serious and must never be excused.

Believers can become carnal, immature, disobedient, and spiritually ineffective and must be corrected.

But none of these truths, by themselves, establishes the claim that someone who has genuinely received eternal life eventually loses that eternal life because he failed to reach a particular level of spiritual maturity.

Our confidence is not in how perfectly we perform.

Our confidence is in Christ.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. — Philippians 1:6

The believer should therefore pursue holiness—not because he is trying to earn or preserve salvation, but because he has already been saved and now desires to live out the life he has received in Christ.

We have never attributed words to any man or woman of God that they did not say. If you have been following us all this time, you should already know this.

So why make the allegation that we always say things a preacher never said? If you believe we have done so, then show us the specific statement and where we misrepresented what was said.

We are committed to dealing with what was actually said, not inventing statements and attributing them to anyone.

Don’t choose a church simply because it is close to your house or convenient to attend.

Choose a church where Christ is the message, the Gospel is faithfully taught, and the Word of God is rightly divided—even if it means traveling a greater distance.

Convenience should never be more important than truth. Dr Abel Damina

My prayer is that the ministry God has committed into your hands will prosper and continue to impact lives.

May you receive strength, wisdom, grace, and divine provision to fulfill your assignment.

May your labor in the Gospel never be in vain, and may the work of your hands continually bring glory to Christ.

25/08/2026

We declare that the light of the Gospel shines everywhere, bringing truth, understanding, and freedom to everyone.

You will eventually come to the truth you are running away from. It is only a matter of time. We will keep praying for you people.

25/08/2026

The real problem here is not the statement itself, but the failure to understand the context in which it was made.

Dr. Abel Damina made the statement while teaching that Jesus Christ did not come to the earth to prove His educational qualifications, intellectual ability, physical beauty, or human accomplishments.

His point was that Christ’s mission was not about displaying those things. He was addressing the tendency of people to create an image of Jesus based on human standards and traditions.

Yet, you took one sentence from the middle of that teaching—“Jesus was illiterate”—and presented it as though that was the entire message.

The statement was made in the context of a complete teaching, but you picked one sentence out of its immediate context and started running with it.

You ignored everything Dr. Abel Damina was actually explaining and built your criticism around one isolated statement.

If you truly want to correct a minister, deal with the complete teaching, understand what he was saying, examine it with Scripture, and then present your criticism.

Taking one sentence out of its context and creating an entirely different meaning from it is not biblical criticism; it is misrepresentation.
