OS is from a crappy horror B-movie. I took the lyrics and instead of spacing them, ran them together to fit my style for this message. I think this set-up is better overall :)

* host protection= angelic **splatter of Ark mess= OT annual sprinkling of the lamb's blood over the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant for 1-year forgiveness of sin (temporary until Jesus became the substitute perfect lamb of God, innocent, who went to the slaughter willingly and HIS blood doesn't cover sin, it removes it forever). Note: sins committed after salvation can cause loss of personal fellowship with God, missed blessings, hardship in discipline, sickness, even death... but salvation is NEVER in question b/c it is based on Christ and NOT you. Salvation is never merited and cannot be earned through works. All righteousness is imputed. Works come subsequent to salvation but are not required for salvation as it is a free gift of God and only the HS knows what works each of us has. The thief on the cross had no works and was in Paradise with Jesus until that compartment of the underworld was emptied with the preaching of the Gospel there. No one is lost in the First Resurrection at the Bema of Christ b/c only works are judged. There were those with no works that were saved as if by fire. Where sin abounds, so much more does grace abound. As Jesus told Paul, "my grace IS sufficient." If ONE person could lose salvation then the Cross and grace are defeated. Jesus said "I will lose NONE that the Father gives me." None means none. Period. "There are none righteous, no not one." And "Anyone that says they have no sin is a liar, the truth is not in him."
