hello everybody it's me mr. tall 23 back with another video and I was
experiencing some internet difficulties that's why the video cut out and I don't
want to do they live anymore I'm just gonna pre record the video and upload it
later so if you're wondering why I stopped just all the sudden it's because
of that's because the internet stopped working for a second so anyway
thankfully that was at the end of point for reason number four that I was making
there so I want to continue on now with reason number five remember reason four
is that Jesus Christ has perfected us forever if you have trusted Jesus Christ
as your Savior you were sanctified and that is not just now but the Bible says
forever so going on into reason number five why we cannot lose our salvation
the Bible teaches us that the blood of Jesus Christ which washes away our sins
gives us eternal redemption Hebrews chapter 9 verses 12 to 14 neither by the
blood of goats and calves but by his own blood he entered in once into the
holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us for if the blood of
bulls and of goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctify
after the purifying of the flesh how much more shall the blood of Christ who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God now the word eternal means it
never ends it's pretty simple it's a pretty simple word to understand it lasts
forever if the scriptures say that Jesus obtained eternal redemption for us when
he entered into the holy place with his own blood that means that redemption is
forever the word redemption means the purchasing of something by paying off a
debt and buying freedom so we were servants to sin according to John 834
Jesus says that before we're safe we are servants to sin but we are made free
through the power of the blood of Christ the scripture show us that it is the
blood which makes redemption in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 it says in
whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according
to the riches of his grace 1st Peter chapter 1 verses 18 to 19 for as much as
ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers but with the
precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot so
unlike the blood of the bulls and the goats offered in the Old Testament
sacrifices in which the high priests needed to oftentimes enter into the holy
place at least once every year for the people and then for his own sins Jesus
Christ as we've already seen offered himself one time and entered into the
holy place one time and by it he obtained eternal redemption for us why
because his blood is not corruptible but precious and without blemish and spot
therefore the Bible says of the same blood that it is the blood of the
everlasting covenant in Hebrews chapter 13 verse 20 Jesus's eternal blood is
still on the mercy seat in the tabernacle of heaven and if you have
been redeemed by that save that same blood the Bible says that you are
redeemed forever it is eternal redemption the scriptures say that it is
iniquity that we are redeemed from in Titus 2 14 it says who gave himself for
us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a
peculiar people zealous of good works meaning Jesus had bought us from sin
although we were the servants of sin we have been made free from that and we now
belong to God the Bible says in 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verses 19 to 20
what know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you
which you have of God and you're not your own for you're bought with a price
therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are gods so this is
redemption that God has bought us back he has purchased us with his own blood
and therefore our bodies and our spirits are gods meaning we belong to him but
this is not temporary nowhere does it say we are redeemed until we backslide
we are redeemed until we decide to turn away from God just as Jesus has
perfected us forever by the offering of his own body he is redeemed the
justified forever it is eternal it's never-ending redemption that's what the
Bible says in Hebrews 9 if you belong to God because your sins have been
forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ you belong to him forever he has
redeemed you forever to deny this is to not deny the power of Jesus's sacrifice
a reason number six is that Jesus continues making intercession for us
even to this day after he rose from the dead and ascended up into heaven to
offer his own blood in the heavenly tabernacle the Bible says that when he
had by himself purged our sins he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on
high it is written in Romans 834 who is he that condemneth it is Christ that
died yea rather that is risen again who is even at the right hand of God who
also maketh intercession for us Hebrews 7 25 again says wherefore he is able also
to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing he ever liveth to
make intercession for them see the work of Jesus Christ is still going on to
this day as we speak Jesus is up in heaven sitting on the right hand of God
and making intercession for us meaning he is intervening on our behalf we in
this world still might sin but Jesus stands in our place as the advocate unto
the Father as it talked about also in 1st John 2 1 it says if any man sin we
have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous it is the devil who
is called the accuser of the Brethren in the book of Revelation the one who goes
into heaven and and day and night accuses us for our sins but Jesus as our
intercessor eternally stands on our behalf it says he ever liveth to make
intercession for them he eternally stands on our behalf and points God to
his own redeeming blood okay no matter what the devil says no matter who
accuses us no matter who tries to condemn us as it talks about a Romans
834 it is Christ who is at the right hand of God making intercession for us
he still works to this day to keep us saved and we'll see that more later that
our salvation is not dependent upon us but on the unchanging eternal God which
is what the scriptures teach over and over again we are kept by the power of
God it says another reason reason number seven of why we cannot lose our
salvation is because when we are born again we die along with Christ a sin but
are made alive to God now this is an amazing truth that many Christians
really need to realize that if you are a Christian you have already died this is
part of what the Bible means when it says over and over again that we are in
Christ that we have been made partakers of his crucifixion and his resurrection
it says in Romans chapter 6 verse 3 to 11 know ye not that so many of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death therefore we are
buried with him by baptism into death they like us Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the Father even so we also should walk a newness of
life for if we've been planted together in the likeness of his death we shall be
also in the likeness of his resurrection knowing this that our old man is
crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that henceforth we
should not serve sin for he that is dead is freed from sin now if we be dead with
Christ we believe that we shall also live with him knowing that Christ being
raised from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him for in
that he died he died unto sin once but in that he liveth he liveth unto God
likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God
through Jesus Christ our Lord so in verse 6 it is stated that our old man is
crucified with him with Christ that the body of sin might be destroyed that
henceforth we should not serve sin see at this point if you are in Christ if
you are a Christian your old man that is the flesh although we still feel it
although it's still present here on this earth it is as good as dead in the sight
of God our old man has already died it's already faced the punishment for sin now
why is that because Jesus bore our sins in his own body on the tree as we talked
about earlier we are crucified with him because those sins of the old man those
sins of our flesh were placed upon him he became sins for us and died for those
sins and put those sins down in hell so the old man the flesh is as good as dead
as if it were nailed on the cross alongside Christ when we got saved we
died with Christ the Bible says but also we rose again from the dead with him as
well as well as it says in verse 8 now if we be dead with Christ we believe
that we shall also live with him in verse 9 tells us what manner of life
this is knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more death hath
no more dominion over him when Jesus Christ was raised from the dead with his
incorruptible and an immortal body of flesh and bones death no longer had any
power over him but the Bible says that he dieth no more but the scriptures say
that we are in the likeness of his resurrection if we have died with him
meaning that we too can die no more that's taught throughout the scriptures
that we have eternal life and I'll talk about that more later that the Bible
says over and over again that we have eternal life if we have believed in
Jesus it's probably gonna be the next video of the one after that it's gonna
gonna take a while to get to that because there's a lot of points I want
to get to but the point is that if you are a Christian you have already died
with Christ and you are risen together with him meaning death too has no more
dominion over you the Bible says further in Romans chapter 8 verse 10 and if
Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness so through faith in Christ according to the Bible
we receive the Holy Spirit of God it teaches that in John chapter 7 verses
38 to 39 and Ephesians chapter 1 verse 13 and if the Spirit of Christ dwells
within us according to the scripture if Christ is in us as we are in Christ our
bodies are already dead because of sin we deserve the death penalty for sin and
we indeed face that death penalty when our sins transferred onto Christ when
he was on the cross it again says in the book of Galatians chapter 2 verses 19
to 20 for I through the law and dead to the law that I might live unto God I am
crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God who loved me and gave himself for me again if you are a Christian and
Christ lives within you you have already been crucified with him the Bible says
your sins have already been paid for you have already died because of sin the
death penalty has already been inflicted but Christ rose up again you were in the
likeness of his resurrection so that the Spirit continues to live through Christ
that liveth in you remember these heretics who teach that you can lose your
salvation will often say that the way that we live our life and the sins that
we commit after we get saved determine whether or not we ultimately go to heaven
or go to hell but if anybody says that to you realize you have already died in
your sins you have already died because of those sins that you have committed
you have already been crucified and went to hell when the sins of your old man
were imputed onto Jesus Christ and he faced that penalty in your place and in
doing so when we get saved the Bible says our body of sin is destroyed and
we are made alive with everlasting life so you have already died and risen again
and death has no more dominion over you if you are a Christian that has already
taken place okay you don't have to worry and think well am I going to be a
partaker of the resurrection the Bible says we're already in the likeness of
his resurrection now it's hard for us to wrap our minds around this but remember
God is outside of time the Bible says that the Lord inhabited eternity the way
that he sees us is not the same way that we see ourselves God who has
already guaranteed us salvation even though from our perspective this body is
still here from the perspective of God it is destroyed it is dead it is gone
already and we are immortal and we'll talk more on that a bit later but I want
to get to reason reason eight is that salvation is a free gift by grace and
many will agree with this many who say that you can lose your salvation will
say well yeah I believe that yeah I believe salvation is by grace through
faith any Methodists out there will probably tell you they believe salvation
is by grace through faith and it's not of works many Christians well at least
say that salvation is by grace but then they'll turn around they'll say well if
you don't do any works after being justified then you're not really safe
now first of all Romans 11 6 proves that grace and works are completely
non-compatible okay it says if it be of grace that is no more works otherwise
grace is no more grace because grace by definition is means that you don't earn
it it's undeserved hey while working for it means that you do earn it you do
deserve it okay you can't have both that doesn't make any sense that they're
contradictory to each other if it's by grace then it can't be it works because
works is the opposite of what grace is so it's obvious they don't understand
what grace means but every Christian will just use that word they'll say
we're saved by grace the Catholics will say that we're saved by grace but then
they teach that you're justified by works hey they teach that once you have
your sins forgiven that you still need to live a good life and you could still
go to hell I'll say well God you lose God's grace because of the works that
you do that doesn't make any sense now it says in Romans chapter 5 verse 15 but
not as the offense so also is the free gift for if through the offense of one
many be dead much more the grace of God and the gift by grace which is by one
man Jesus Christ have abounded unto many not as it was by one that sinned so
as the gift for the judgment was bought was by one to condemnation but the free
gift is of many offenses unto justification here it mentions the free
gift and this gift comes by grace this gift is the gift of salvation as it is
written in Romans 6 23 but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord and Ephesians 2 8 to 9 for by grace are you saved through faith and
that not of yourselves it is a gift of God not of works us any man should boast
therefore our salvation and our eternal life is something which is a gift and it
comes by grace meaning we don't earn it we don't pay for it it is given unto us
by God out of his own grace the fact that it is by grace means that we we
can't we don't deserve it okay that's what grace means it means undeserved
favor when the Lord saves us by his grace that means we didn't do anything
to earn it that means we don't deserve it nobody deserves to go to heaven in
the first place we cannot earn it through our works but we must receive
the gift through faith in fact there's no mixing between grace and works
whatsoever as mentioned earlier because of what Romans 11 6 says where it says
and if by grace then is no more works otherwise grace is no more grace but if
it be of works then is no more grace otherwise work is no more work if our
salvation had anything to do with our works then it would not be by grace the
fact that it is by grace as stated in Ephesians 2 8 and Titus 2 11 and several
other places means that we are saved completely apart from our own works or
as it says in Ephesians 2 it is not of ourselves it's not about us okay
salvation is of the Lord the Bible says over and over again in the Old Testament
it's free we don't earn it the Bible says in 2nd Timothy 1 verse 8 to 9 be not
thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner but
be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God
who has saved us and called us with an holy calling not according to our own
works but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began so if God has saved you it was according to his
grace and this grace was already given to us before the world began the Bible
says and I'll talk about that a bit more later but God who is omniscient
already knew those who would believe and bestowed his grace upon us and saved us
already if you are saved it is through God's grace if any works were involved
it would not be grace I can't emphasize that enough now here's one last
scripture to prove that Romans chapter 4 verses 4 to 5 now to him that worketh is
a reward not reckoned of grace but of debt but to him that worketh not but
believeth on him that justified the ungodly his faith is counted righteousness
the reason why I'm making this point is because a lot of people who say we're
saved by grace don't really mean it Roman Catholics will talk about being
saved by grace but they don't understand what that means because they'll say well
yeah we're justified by grace but you can only remain in grace depending on
how you live well then they don't believe we're saved by grace it
salvation according to the Bible according to Matthew 1 21 and Romans 5
9 is being saved or delivered from our sins and the punishment for our sins
which is the wrath of God at death if you think deliverance from sin and its
consequences which would be death in hell is dependent upon the works that
you do then you don't believe it's by grace if you think that what I don't
have the works so I'm not eventually gonna go to heaven I'm not gonna be
saved for my sins you don't believe it's by grace you believe it's by works it's
that simple and that's especially so for all the people out there who will
say well we're justified by grace but once you have your previous sins taken
away then you still have to live a good life otherwise we'll go to hell the
Hebrew roots movement teaches this Michael root teaches that we're not even
saved yet until the coming of Christ and that our obedience during this life
determines whether or not we get eternal life but that's heresy Charles grand
heretic Finney taught the same thing he said that the condition of final
salvation is continued holiness until the end of our life and there's many
other examples of that but the point is they don't believe our salvation is by
grace they believe it's of ourselves they believe it's by our own works our
own obedience our own holiness while the Bible teaches it's free you don't have
to earn it it's a gift given by grace meaning you don't deserve it in the
first place you don't have to pay for it it's just given to you all you have to
do is believe and you'll receive it salvation has nothing to do with works
so if we're going to be saved it is by the grace of God only grace alone and
nothing else saying that whether or not we stay saved until the end is dependent
upon our own works is contradictory to the clear teaching of Scripture and
shows that these people don't understand what grace is so I'm gonna stop right
there originally I just wanted to stop right here with the full video so this
whole video I guess was gonna be like 40 50 something minutes so I'm gonna
stop right here I'm gonna continue I don't think tomorrow but maybe in a
couple days like Thursday or Friday or Friday actually I'm gonna do the series
on the book of Romans but I'll probably pick it up on Thursday again and like I
said this is gonna be quite long now because my internet cut out there's
probably gonna be like seven videos in this series now instead of just six so
thank you for watching that's it today that's it for today thank you for
watching God bless you bye
