The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago

By God's grace, I have lived so far to age 57 in 2024. The inspired King James Bible admonishes us in Proverbs 27:1, “Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” I am prepared to meet my God. I became a born-again Christian at age 13 in 1980. The old account was settled long ago. Once saved, always saved! I have fought the good fight of faith since I began my website ministry in 2002...

2nd Timothy 4:7-8, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

I am ready to go home to be with Jesus when it's my time to go. I am so sick and tired of this sin cursed rotten world. Albeit, I share the same sentiments as the Apostle Paul in Philippians 1:2, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” I have dedicated the rest of my life to preaching THE BOOK (the inspired King James Bible), THE BLOOD (Jesus' literal liquid blood sprinkled on the Mercy Seat in Heaven), and THE BODY (the importance of local New Testament churches),. These three great Bible doctrines are under Satanic attack today.

My great joy each day is knowing that my name is recorded in Heaven in the Lamb's Book of Life (Luke 10:20). The old account was settled long ago. Perhaps you've heard this old Christian hymn...

THE OLD ACCOUNT WAS SETTLED LONG AGO

Stanza:

There was a time, I know,

When in the book of heaven,

An old account was standing

For sins yet unforgiven;

My name was at the top

And many things below,

I went unto the Keeper,

And settled long ago.

Refrain:

Long ago, long ago,

Yes, the old account was settled long ago;

And the record’s clear today,

For He washed my sins away,

When the old account was settled long ago.

Amen! Dear reader, are you 100% certain that if you died this moment you would go to Heaven? You can and should have that blessed assurance. Something is very wrong with the perverse theology of ne0-evangelical false prophets like Ray Comfort, Paul Washer, Dan Corner, R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur and other Calvinists who deny eternal security. These wicked false teachers all instill fear and uncertainty into their ministry followers.

The inspired Word of God teaches in 1st John 5:13 that believers can “KNOW” that we are saved. 1st John 3:24 teaches that we know we are saved by the indwelling Holy Spirit which God has given to every believer. If you don't have the Spirit of Christ (i.e., the Holy Spirit living inside your body and soul), then you have never been saved. There is no need to doubt, worry, fear or labor to maintain God's free gift of eternal life.

If you are still struggling with the assurance that you are 100% saved and on your way to Heaven, it is only because you do not fully understand God's simple plan of salvation. Thankfully, the Bible makes it very clear how to get to Heaven in the Gospel of John. In John we find the word “believe” 85 times. My sin belongs to me, but my righteousness is Jesus Christ's. I have no righteousness of my own. That is why we need God's righteousness credited (imputed) to us, which is by faith alone. Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Thank you friend for reading my ministry blog. To God alone be all the praise, credit and glory, great things He is doing.
