00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
 All right, as we come to God's Word this morning,

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.220
 as promised, we're going to be dealing with this question.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:10.080
 Can I lose my salvation?

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:13.599
 It's a big question, and so I hope you don't mind.

00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:16.080
 There's going to be a big answer,

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:18.820
 and we're going to go a few minutes longer today,

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:20.019
 so grace yourselves.

00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:23.059
 Kids, feel free to get a clipboard if you haven't got one yet.

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.699
 I can't really chop this into two pieces,

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:29.260
 and I will try to go a few minutes less next Sunday.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.820
 So here we go.

00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:33.660
 Can I lose my salvation?

00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:37.640
 We've come to this as we've been exploring Jesus' teaching

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.579
 about vine and branches and fruit in John 15,

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:46.560
 and he's made some statements that kind of get us wondering.

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:49.500
 He, referring to his father, said,

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:53.680
 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit.

00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:56.740
 And then again in verse 6, he said,

00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:58.320
 If you do not remain in me,

00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:02.240
 you're like a branch that is thrown away and withers.

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:07.480
 Such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire, and burned.

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.200
 So the question arises,

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.379
 is Jesus saying that there's a real danger of losing our salvation,

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:21.659
 or of losing our vital connection with Jesus once we have it.

00:01:22.259 --> 00:01:24.399
 We're going to be moving pretty quickly today.

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:26.739
 There's lots of scriptures, so let's go.

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:28.780
 Let's start with verse 2.

00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.819
 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit.

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:36.439
 The big question here is,

00:01:36.559 --> 00:01:41.379
 what does Jesus mean when he says that the branches are in me?

00:01:42.039 --> 00:01:46.059
 And there are two views, two major views.

00:01:46.219 --> 00:01:49.379
 One view is that every branch in me refers to genuine,

00:01:49.979 --> 00:01:52.139
 born-again followers of Jesus,

00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:58.199
 and that being cut off refers to them losing their saving connection to Christ.

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:06.799
 The second view is that every branch in me refers to all visible followers of Christ,

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:08.620
 all who claim the name of Christ,

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:14.000
 and that the branches that are cut off refers only to those among the visible church

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.980
 who are not true, born-again believers,

00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.520
 who are believers in name only.

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.659
 And while there's debate and disagreement over this,

00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:27.960
 I will tell you today that the second view is really the only one that fits

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.800
 with the rest of the Bible's teaching on the subject.

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.300
 And we're going to look at that teaching today.

00:02:36.019 --> 00:02:38.939
 We can also reason this out and arrive at number two

00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:43.620
 just by looking a little more closely at Jesus' own words in this passage.

00:02:44.780 --> 00:02:47.300
 Which branches are cut off?

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.379
 Well, Jesus says it's the ones that bear no fruit.

00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:55.979
 And down in verse five, he says,

00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.240
 If you remain in me and die in you, you will bear much fruit.

00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.439
 So there's a guaranteed fruitfulness for all branches that remain in the vine.

00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.120
 All who stay connected to Christ, who continue to follow him,

00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.859
 continue to believe in him.

00:03:13.359 --> 00:03:17.079
 Which means that the branches that are cut off

00:03:17.079 --> 00:03:20.060
 are only those who don't remain in Christ,

00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:22.140
 who don't have that faith,

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.860
 who don't continue to follow him.

00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.580
 We might picture it this way.

00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:29.400
 If the church is a fruit tree,

00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:31.539
 Jesus is the trunk.

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:35.140
 Those who attend the church are the branches.

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.920
 And at the end of our church's story,

00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:41.080
 there will be some branches which look dead

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.780
 and have no fruit on them at all.

00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:47.560
 While others around them will have much fruit on them.

00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:49.360
 And it will be obvious.

00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:52.379
 Those that have no fruit and look dead

00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:54.280
 are that way for a reason.

00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.060
 There has been a problem with their connection to the tree.

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.240
 They haven't really been connected

00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.479
 as the other branches have all along.

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.740
 And that's why there's no fruit.

00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:07.400
 That's why there's no life in the branch.

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.840
 Now they might look from the outward view of things

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.460
 to be connected to Christ,

00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:14.280
 to be part of the tree,

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:16.819
 but it's really the fruit produced.

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.300
 That's the evidence of whether they have

00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:23.759
 the life-giving flow of the tree coming into them.

00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:26.439
 And in all such cases,

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.800
 the problem is not with the tree,

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:29.319
 the main trunk.

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:31.560
 The problem is not with Jesus,

00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:33.360
 the source of life,

00:04:33.780 --> 00:04:36.319
 the one who enables us to produce much fruit.

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.399
 The problem lies with the branch

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.839
 and its own connection to the tree.

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.500
 Did that person remain in Christ?

00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.339
 Did they truly repent and believe in Him

00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:50.579
 and hold fast to Him and His word?

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.959
 Or was it only a superficial thing?

00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:55.659
 A thing of appearances?

00:04:56.659 --> 00:04:57.779
 Were they merely pretending?

00:04:58.779 --> 00:05:00.100
 Calling themselves Christians,

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:02.240
 but not really believing from the heart?

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:06.300
 What Jesus is getting at here is this.

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.399
 The mark of every true believer

00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.860
 is the presence of fruit in their lives.

00:05:13.860 --> 00:05:15.099
 And it makes sense.

00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.439
 The mark of everyone who has been born again

00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:19.719
 by the Holy Spirit

00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:23.100
 is the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces

00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:24.719
 in our lives.

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.639
 And there's no defectiveness in God's Spirit.

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.339
 If the Spirit of Christ lives in you,

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.399
 you will bear that good fruit.

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.719
 And if the Spirit of Christ does not live in you,

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:40.300
 the branch of your life will be bare

00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:43.159
 and you will be cut off, says Jesus.

00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:47.740
 These words of Jesus are a warning

00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:50.019
 that there is no substitute

00:05:50.019 --> 00:05:53.300
 for genuinely remaining in Jesus.

00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:56.460
 There's no substitute for sincerely embracing

00:05:56.460 --> 00:05:58.660
 for sincerely embracing Jesus Christ.

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.360
 All that He is.

00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:02.180
 All that He did.

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.280
 All that He says.

00:06:05.580 --> 00:06:08.240
 There's no substitute for a sincere faith.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.819
 And eventually it will become obvious

00:06:11.819 --> 00:06:13.360
 who are the pretenders

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.379
 and who are the real deal.

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:18.060
 who are the imposters

00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:22.339
 and who are the true children of the kingdom.

00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.959
 So that's verse 2.

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.819
 On to verse 6.

00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:28.079
 Jesus says,

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.439
 If anyone does not remain in Me,

00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:33.060
 he is thrown away like a branch

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:34.199
 and dries up.

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.100
 And they gather them

00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:38.019
 and throw them into the fire.

00:06:38.719 --> 00:06:39.920
 And they are burned.

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:43.279
 Again, there are two views here.

00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.119
 Some may suggest

00:06:45.119 --> 00:06:47.459
 that you can't stay connected to Jesus

00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:49.239
 unless you've been connected

00:06:49.239 --> 00:06:50.219
 in the first place.

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:52.519
 And accordingly,

00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:53.379
 they might say,

00:06:53.659 --> 00:06:54.579
 Well, you could choose

00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:55.599
 at some point in your life

00:06:55.599 --> 00:06:56.979
 not to continue with Jesus.

00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:59.519
 This view would say

00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.759
 that you had eternal life,

00:07:02.059 --> 00:07:03.339
 but then you lost it.

00:07:05.119 --> 00:07:06.899
 The other way of understanding this

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:08.739
 would be this,

00:07:08.739 --> 00:07:11.459
 that this warning Jesus gives

00:07:11.459 --> 00:07:13.699
 is for all who claim

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:15.919
 to be a follower of Jesus,

00:07:16.219 --> 00:07:18.919
 for all who visibly identify themselves

00:07:18.919 --> 00:07:20.479
 with Jesus in some way.

00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.399
 And this warning by God's grace

00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.159
 causes those who are truly born again

00:07:26.159 --> 00:07:27.299
 to remain in Him.

00:07:28.679 --> 00:07:30.579
 They see the consequences

00:07:30.579 --> 00:07:32.199
 of forsaking Him.

00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:35.459
 But some who are now claiming

00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:37.039
 to be followers of Christ

00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:38.560
 and are not truly born again,

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.300
 they are the ones

00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:42.180
 who do not remain in the vine

00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:45.699
 and suffer this awful fate described.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:48.019
 And again,

00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:49.720
 I think this second view

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:50.840
 better reflects

00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:52.379
 what the rest of the Bible teaches

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:54.180
 about our salvation.

00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.720
 All of this has to do

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:57.899
 with an important doctrine

00:07:57.899 --> 00:07:58.660
 of our faith.

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:00.800
 Eternal security

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.519
 is sometimes what we call it.

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:03.959
 Eternal security of the believer.

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:05.180
 Other times,

00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:05.920
 it's referred to

00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:06.920
 as the perseverance

00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:07.980
 of the saints.

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:09.240
 Now,

00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:10.480
 some Christians

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.840
 will get into a squabble

00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:13.620
 about the labels

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:14.540
 and which one

00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:15.460
 is the right one.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.520
 You might hear,

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.240
 I believe in eternal security.

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:21.879
 And those perseverance

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:22.840
 of the saints people,

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:23.620
 you guys are preaching

00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:25.000
 works-based salvation.

00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:26.340
 Or,

00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.520
 I believe in perseverance

00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:28.280
 of the saints.

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.759
 It's all over the New Testament.

00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:30.620
 And those

00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:32.620
 eternal security people

00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:33.320
 are giving people

00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.180
 false assurance

00:08:34.180 --> 00:08:34.940
 of salvation.

00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:35.020
 salvation.

00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:37.500
 But when it comes

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:38.260
 right down to it,

00:08:38.340 --> 00:08:39.700
 there is no need

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:41.000
 to squabble about this.

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:42.780
 Both of these labels

00:08:42.780 --> 00:08:43.640
 are helpful

00:08:43.640 --> 00:08:45.180
 and they capture

00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:46.320
 a biblical truth.

00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:47.960
 It's not a case

00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:48.720
 of either or.

00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:49.700
 It's both.

00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:51.320
 Neither of these

00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.220
 biblical truths

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:53.060
 on their own

00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:54.540
 tells the whole story

00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:56.280
 of how we are saved.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.020
 So let's get into

00:08:58.020 --> 00:08:58.660
 some passages

00:08:58.660 --> 00:08:59.800
 and see both of these

00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:00.520
 clearly taught

00:09:00.520 --> 00:09:01.460
 from the Word of God.

00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:03.660
 First of all,

00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:06.139
 Jesus and the apostles

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:07.160
 did teach

00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:08.320
 that true

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:09.440
 born-again believers

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.620
 are secure

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:12.120
 in their salvation

00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:13.680
 and cannot lose it.

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.840
 John chapter 10

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.160
 verse 26.

00:09:18.300 --> 00:09:20.080
 But you do not believe

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.000
 because you are not

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.639
 my sheep.

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:23.759
 My sheep listen

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.639
 to my voice.

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:26.379
 I know them

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:28.019
 and they follow me.

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:29.840
 I give them

00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.460
 eternal life

00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:32.779
 and they shall

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:34.019
 never perish.

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.059
 No one will snatch

00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:37.019
 them out of my hand.

00:09:37.699 --> 00:09:38.679
 My Father

00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.559
 who has given

00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:40.439
 them to me

00:09:40.439 --> 00:09:41.500
 is greater than all.

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.240
 No one can snatch

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:43.919
 them out of

00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.480
 my Father's hand.

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:48.139
 So Jesus describes

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:48.860
 his relationship

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:49.519
 with those who

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:50.419
 truly believe

00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:51.399
 as being

00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:52.799
 they are his sheep.

00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:53.740
 He is their shepherd.

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.620
 They are his sheep.

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:55.679
 And there's no

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:56.899
 superficiality here.

00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:57.659
 There's no wondering

00:09:57.659 --> 00:09:58.360
 whether or not

00:09:58.360 --> 00:09:59.980
 they are true sheep.

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:00.699
 Jesus says

00:10:00.699 --> 00:10:01.620
 I know them

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:03.639
 and they follow me.

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:06.219
 I give them

00:10:06.219 --> 00:10:07.679
 eternal life

00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.039
 and they shall

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.519
 never perish.

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:12.740
 No one can snatch

00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:13.539
 them out of my hand.

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:14.379
 No one can snatch

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.019
 them out of my

00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:16.279
 Father's hand.

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.339
 Eternal life.

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:22.159
 Never perish.

00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:23.939
 It doesn't say

00:10:23.939 --> 00:10:25.839
 they'll never perish

00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.139
 unless they change

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:27.680
 their mind

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:28.340
 about me.

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:29.660
 No.

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:31.899
 We'll never change

00:10:31.899 --> 00:10:32.360
 our mind

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.460
 about Jesus

00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:34.820
 our shepherd

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:36.980
 because we know him.

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:39.720
 He is in us.

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.879
 We are in him.

00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:44.379
 We love him.

00:10:46.300 --> 00:10:47.540
 Now some have noticed

00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:48.700
 here that it says

00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:49.940
 no one can snatch

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.940
 them out of my hand.

00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:53.080
 And some will say

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.040
 well it doesn't say

00:10:54.040 --> 00:10:55.080
 that we can't jump

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.280
 out of the Father's hand

00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:57.460
 or remove ourselves

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:58.660
 from the Father's hand.

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:00.580
 I'm going to defer

00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:01.700
 this one to the words

00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:03.060
 of Wayne Grudem.

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:07.140
 To those who suggest

00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:07.980
 we might remove

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:08.760
 ourselves from

00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:09.660
 Christ's hand

00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:10.620
 this is what he has

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:10.980
 to say.

00:11:11.060 --> 00:11:11.420
 He says

00:11:11.420 --> 00:11:12.620
 that seems to be

00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:13.320
 pedantic

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.180
 quibbling over words.

00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:17.219
 does not

00:11:17.219 --> 00:11:18.159
 no one

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.699
 also include

00:11:19.699 --> 00:11:20.259
 the person

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.079
 who is in

00:11:21.079 --> 00:11:22.139
 Christ's hand.

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:23.779
 Moreover

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:24.500
 we know

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:25.279
 that our own hearts

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:25.959
 are far from

00:11:25.959 --> 00:11:26.419
 trustworthy.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:27.779
 Therefore

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:28.719
 if the possibility

00:11:28.719 --> 00:11:29.239
 remained

00:11:29.239 --> 00:11:29.699
 that we could

00:11:29.699 --> 00:11:30.379
 just remove

00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:30.819
 ourselves

00:11:30.819 --> 00:11:31.699
 from Christ's hand

00:11:31.699 --> 00:11:32.679
 this passage

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.159
 would hardly

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:33.959
 give the assurance

00:11:33.959 --> 00:11:34.519
 that Jesus

00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:35.519
 intends by it.

00:11:36.719 --> 00:11:37.559
 I agree.

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:39.079
 We shouldn't

00:11:39.079 --> 00:11:39.859
 pick at the words

00:11:39.859 --> 00:11:40.500
 here and what

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:41.039
 seems to be

00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.979
 missing from them

00:11:41.979 --> 00:11:42.959
 at the expense

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:43.519
 of the whole

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.439
 point Jesus

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.120
 is making.

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:45.860
 Jesus is

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:47.180
 saying that

00:11:47.180 --> 00:11:47.820
 his sheep

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:48.480
 are secure

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:49.060
 forever.

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:50.640
 That there's

00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:51.360
 no threat.

00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:52.140
 There's no

00:11:52.140 --> 00:11:53.140
 danger.

00:11:53.280 --> 00:11:53.780
 Nothing can

00:11:53.780 --> 00:11:54.520
 change that.

00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:56.720
 Let's look at

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:57.460
 another passage

00:11:57.460 --> 00:11:58.660
 which affirms

00:11:58.660 --> 00:11:59.620
 that true

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:00.300
 born again

00:12:00.300 --> 00:12:00.720
 believers

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:01.880
 are secure

00:12:01.880 --> 00:12:02.760
 in their salvation

00:12:02.760 --> 00:12:03.260
 and cannot

00:12:03.260 --> 00:12:03.780
 lose it.

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:04.720
 Romans chapter

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:05.700
 8 verse

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:06.420
 29.

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.300
 For those

00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:09.420
 God foreknew

00:12:09.420 --> 00:12:10.840
 he also

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.220
 predestined

00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:12.980
 to be

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:13.740
 conformed

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.580
 to the image

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:15.220
 of his son

00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:16.200
 that he

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:16.500
 might be

00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:17.200
 the firstborn

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:17.779
 among many

00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:18.419
 brothers and

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:18.840
 sisters

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.200
 and those

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.100
 he predestined

00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:21.940
 he also

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:22.460
 called.

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:23.419
 Those he

00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:23.899
 called

00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:24.840
 he also

00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:25.680
 justified.

00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:26.700
 Those he

00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:27.299
 justified

00:12:27.299 --> 00:12:28.620
 he also

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:29.440
 glorified.

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.220
 What then

00:12:31.220 --> 00:12:31.740
 shall we say

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.259
 in response

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:32.680
 to these

00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:33.039
 things?

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:33.620
 If God

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:34.480
 is for us

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:35.419
 who can

00:12:35.419 --> 00:12:35.960
 be against

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:36.340
 us?

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:37.580
 He who

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:37.879
 did not

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.360
 spare his

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:38.879
 own son

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:39.399
 but gave

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:39.700
 him up

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:40.060
 for us

00:12:40.060 --> 00:12:40.360
 all.

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:41.200
 How

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:41.500
 will he

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:41.700
 not

00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:42.120
 also

00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:42.560
 along

00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:42.800
 with

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:43.139
 him

00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:44.440
 freely

00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:44.680
 give

00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:44.840
 us

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.000
 all

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:45.480
 things?

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.000
 Who

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:47.159
 will

00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:47.360
 bring

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:47.700
 any

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.279
 charge

00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:48.940
 against

00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:49.220
 those

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:49.399
 whom

00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:49.600
 God

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:49.759
 has

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:50.139
 chosen?

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:51.360
 It

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:51.519
 is

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:51.899
 God

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:52.320
 who

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.100
 justifies.

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:54.039
 Who

00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:54.240
 then

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:54.379
 is

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:54.480
 the

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:54.620
 one

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:54.800
 who

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:55.399
 condemns?

00:12:56.259 --> 00:12:56.600
 No

00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:56.899
 one.

00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:57.919
 Christ

00:13:56.979 --> 00:13:57.439
 one of

 conformed

00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:12.899
 to the

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:14.100
 of his

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:19.279
 it's

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:19.600
 it's

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:19.779
 like

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:19.980
 it's

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:20.100

00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:43.600
 to

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:43.920
 sin

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:44.100
 as

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:44.340
 much

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:44.519
 as

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.040
 possible

00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:46.460
 and

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:46.720
 just

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:47.000
 to

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:47.879
 satisfy

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.580
 ourselves

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:48.900
 and

00:16:48.900 --> 00:16:49.280
 live

00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:49.460
 for

00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:49.879
 ourselves

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:50.139
 as

00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:50.400
 much

00:16:50.400 --> 00:16:50.580
 as

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:51.100
 possible

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:52.500
 ignoring

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:52.980
 God's

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:53.399
 commands

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:53.759
 can we

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:54.159
 go back

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:54.620
 to that

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:56.759
 John's

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:57.139
 answer

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:57.500
 here

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:57.920
 seems

00:16:57.920 --> 00:16:58.379
 to be

00:16:58.379 --> 00:16:58.879
 no

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.360
 we

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:00.980
 can't

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:02.420
 we

00:17:02.420 --> 00:17:02.940
 won't

00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:03.420
 because

00:17:03.420 --> 00:17:04.240
 God's

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.700
 seed

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.400
 remains

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.220
 in us

00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:07.180
 he says

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.860
 they

00:17:08.860 --> 00:17:09.200
 cannot

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:09.900
 go on

00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:10.640
 sinning

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:11.039
 because

00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.319
 they

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:11.559
 have

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:11.799
 been

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.220
 born

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:13.200
 of

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:13.720
 God

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.720
 the

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.960
 new

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.259
 birth

00:17:18.259 --> 00:17:18.460
 that

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:18.700
 God

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.079
 gives

00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:19.240
 to

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:19.440
 his

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:19.779
 people

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:20.019
 when

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:20.200
 they

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.600
 truly

00:17:20.600 --> 00:17:21.059
 repent

00:17:21.059 --> 00:17:21.279
 and

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:21.680
 believe

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.220
 it

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:22.660
 changes

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:22.940
 us

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.259
 so

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.759
 deeply

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:24.600
 and

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:24.920
 so

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.620
 permanently

00:17:25.620 --> 00:17:26.840
 that

00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:27.039
 even

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.259
 if

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:27.380
 we

00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:27.559
 do

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:28.000
 stray

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:28.240
 or

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:28.700
 wander

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.279
 or

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:29.720
 sin

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:30.259
 we

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:30.740
 always

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:31.019
 come

00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:31.380
 back

00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:32.180
 and

00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:32.340
 we

00:17:32.340 --> 00:17:32.779
 always

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:33.259
 repent

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:33.980
 and

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:34.319
 humble

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:34.819
 ourselves

00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:35.279
 before

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:35.660
 God

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.720
 we

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:36.920
 come

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:37.140
 back

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:37.299
 to

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:37.960
 recognizing

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.460
 again

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:39.080
 acknowledging

00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:39.440
 that

00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:39.660
 he

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.120
 is

00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:40.700
 our

00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:41.200
 life

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:41.700

 and

 nothing

 world

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.039
 compares

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.159
 a

00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:53.519
 sin

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.899
 is

00:17:54.899 --> 00:17:55.319
 enough

00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:55.599
 to

 this

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.559
 last

 passage

00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:26.440
 into

 biblical

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:27.539
 doctrine

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:28.400
 of

 the

 perseverance

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:29.779
 of

 the

 again

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.160
 the

 scriptures

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.259
 also

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:33.680
 warn

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.079
 us

00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.519
 that

00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:35.720
 we

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:36.240
 must

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.019
 persevere

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:37.779
 in

 our

00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:38.339
 faith

00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:39.640
 and

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:39.779
 we

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:39.980
 must

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:40.299
 also

00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:40.900
 persevere

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.160
 in

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:41.319
 the

00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:41.720
 obedience

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:42.079
 that

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:42.579
 springs

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:42.839
 from

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:43.059
 that

00:18:43.059 --> 00:18:43.380
 faith

00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:43.599
 that

00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.120
 fits

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.479
 with

00:18:44.479 --> 00:18:44.939
 that

00:18:44.939 --> 00:18:45.599
 profession

00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.239
 and

00:18:47.239 --> 00:18:47.399
 if

00:18:47.399 --> 00:18:47.559
 we

00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:48.019
 don't

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:49.179
 we

00:18:49.179 --> 00:18:49.359
 will

00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:49.819
 perish

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:50.879
 this

00:18:50.879 --> 00:18:51.019
 is

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:51.139
 the

 other

 side

00:18:51.639 --> 00:18:51.779

 coin

00:18:52.239 --> 00:18:53.879
 this

00:18:53.879 --> 00:18:54.019
 is

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:54.199
 what

00:18:54.199 --> 00:18:54.559
 Jesus

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.739
 warnings

 doing

00:24:36.159 --> 00:24:36.519
 the

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:37.039

 faith

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:42.919
 we

00:24:42.919 --> 00:24:43.359
 cannot

00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:43.819
 pull

 persevere

00:26:58.440 --> 00:26:58.700
 in

 our

 the

00:27:01.179 --> 00:27:01.659
 obedience

00:27:01.659 --> 00:27:02.059
 that

00:27:02.059 --> 00:27:02.539
 springs

00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:02.819
 from

 our

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.359
 faith

 and

00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:04.179
 confirms

00:27:04.179 --> 00:27:04.759
 that

 if

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:07.960
 we

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:08.119
 do

00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:08.460
 not

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:09.639
 we

00:27:09.639 --> 00:27:09.819
 will

00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:10.279
 perish

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:11.460
 so

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:11.599
 now

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:11.759
 we

00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:12.039
 bring

 this

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:19.019
 is

00:27:19.019 --> 00:27:19.179
 what

00:27:19.179 --> 00:27:19.359
 we

00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:19.679
 get

00:27:19.679 --> 00:27:19.940
 I'm

00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:20.039
 going

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.159

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:37.039
 until

00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:37.559
 the end

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:20.539
 no

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:22.039

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:25.819
 you

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.339
 cannot

00:28:26.339 --> 00:28:26.779
 undo

 you

00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:28.359
 are

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.879

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.619
 still

00:28:30.619 --> 00:28:30.940
 must

 remain

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:31.900
 in

 him

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.019
 consciously
