Hello everybody, it's minister tall23 back with another video and this is
another video talking about the 35 reasons why we cannot lose our salvation.
If we are born again, if we have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, there's nothing
at all that can cause us to go to hell. Now in the first two videos I went
through at least the first eight points and I'm going to continue now with
reason nine. Now I hope that people watch this in order because some of the things
that I mentioned in this video and in the following videos I'll refer back to
some of the points that I already made. So hopefully you don't watch these
things out of order if you're watching it at a later time. Try to watch the
first two parts first before you watch this part. So without any further ado
let's show that the doctrine of eternal security, that the doctrine of once saved
always saved, that once you are saved from your sins there's nothing you can
do to go to hell, is biblical. It's taught very clearly in the scriptures. So reason
number nine of why we cannot lose our salvation concerns our justification.
When we get saved by grace through faith the Bible teaches that our sins are
washed away by Jesus's blood and these sins are omitted, they are forgiven, and
they are forgotten. We already know that we're perfected forever according to
Hebrews 10 for a teen if we are sanctified it says he is perfected
forever than which are sanctified and a part of this is when we first believe
and get saved and the Bible teaches our sins are washed away they are remitted.
It is written in Revelation chapter 1 verse 5 and from Jesus Christ who is the
faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings
of the earth unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
Ephesians 1 7 also says in whom we have redemption through his blood though
forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace and Colossians 1 14
basically says the same thing in whom we have redemption through his blood
even the forgiveness of sins and by the way concerning those last two verses
Ephesians 1 7 and Colossians 1 14 remember one of the points that I made
earlier was that the Bible says clearly that it is eternal redemption so if the
redemption through his blood is defined in these two verses as the forgiveness
of sins that means those sins which are forgiven are truly gone forever since
it's eternal since it it lasts forever that's what the word eternal means the
scriptures teach that it is faith alone which is what causes us to have our sins
remitted he says in Acts chapter 10 verse 43 to him give all the prophets
witness that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission
of sins so if you believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ if you have put
your faith and trust in the Lord the Bible teaches that your sins are gone
they are remitted they're forgiven it is written again in Romans chapter 4
verses 6 to 7 even as David also describe it the blessedness of the man
unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works saying blessed are they
whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered so when God imputeth
righteousness unto us a matter that I will discuss a little bit later reason
number 10 when he imputes righteousness to us our iniquities are forgiven and
our sins are covered the Bible says here in Romans 4 7 again the Bible says that
Christ has purged our sins as it teaches in Hebrews that means that they are gone
that's what purge means Christ died for them he took them upon himself he died
for those sins and he went down to hell he took those sins down into hell that
means that they are also forgotten okay the result of our sins being forgiven
means that God does not remember them anymore it says in Hebrews chapter 10
verses 15 to 18 where of the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us for after that
he had said before this is the covenant that I will make with them after those
days saith the Lord I will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds
will I write them and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more now
where a remission of these is there is no more offering for sin and then Psalm
103 verses 10 to 12 it says he has not dealt with us after our sins nor
rewarded us according to our iniquities for as the heaven is high above the
earth so great is his mercy toward them that fear him as far as the East is from
the West so far have he removed our transgressions from us so our
transgressions when our sins are forgiven they are forgotten also God
says he will remember them no more he has removed them as far as the East is
from the West okay both our sins and the punishment for our sins are removed from
us as stated in verse 10 of Psalm 103 which by the way refutes the Catholic
strange doctrine that when God justifies us he doesn't remove the punishment for
those sins he just removes the sins well what are we being punished for that
doesn't make any sense you know they believe that we still have to go to
purgatory because having our sins were mitted doesn't necessarily mean that the
punishment is gone but again what is the purpose of having your sins forgiven if
we're still going to face judgment that doesn't make any sense and that's
completely contrary to the Bible and it's refuted by the statement in Psalm
103 where it says he if not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities why because he has removed our transgressions from
us as far as the East is from the West it says that he has shown mercy meaning
he's withhold from us what we deserve okay we deserve God's wrath we deserve
punishment of death and hell but God has withheld that from us because he has
forgiven us of our sins and our sins are gone they're forgotten by God
understand that if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thus have your
sins remitted they are gone forever because Jesus died for those sins
therefore it makes no sense to say that we because of our sins can go to hell
when those sins are gone they've been forgiven okay now the event of
justification does not just involve the removal of iniquities but the
imputation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ that would be reason number 10 it
says in Romans chapter 3 verses 21 to 22 but now the righteousness of God without
the law is manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
then that belief so it is clear that we are not justified by the works of the
law we know that but rather it's by the faith of Jesus Christ and this
justification which means to be made just or to be declared as righteous is
through the righteousness of God being given unto and upon all them that
believe it says so if you have believed according to the Bible God's own
righteousness is upon you remember the exchange that takes place on the cross
as it says in 2nd Corinthians 5 21 I talked about this the other day it says
for he hath made it to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him so when Jesus was on the cross he became sin for
us he took our sins in his own body on the tree it says in 1st Peter 2 24 and
when this was done according to 2nd Corinthians 5 21 he did this that we
might become the righteousness of God this is what justification is not just
having your sins removed not just having your past sins forgiven and remitted but
also then becoming the righteousness of God being made the righteousness of God
when God looks at our soul in our spirit he does not see our iniquities he sees
the righteousness of Christ again it says in 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
again we know that we are just because of God's own righteousness and not our
own righteousness which is of the law as Christians we are getting to heaven not
because of our own goodness not because of our righteousness not because of what
we do but rather that which is through the faith of Christ which is called the
righteousness which is of God by faith meaning God's own righteousness is given
to us when we have faith is taught also as I said earlier from Romans chapter 3
verses 21 to 22 now why is this important because we need to understand
that the moment one believes in Christ God imputes or accredits unto them
righteousness this righteousness we are talking about as it says in Romans 4 6
even as David also describes the blessedness of the man unto whom God
imputed righteousness without works so our salvation is not dependent on our
own righteousness in the first place okay we don't go to heaven because well
I live a righteous life and because we do all these good things and we have
turned from our sins we go to heaven because of God's righteousness and the
fact that he has fulfilled the law whether we are saved or not has nothing
to do with the way that we live or the way that we act but rather whether we
have God's righteousness to say that our works or repenting for our sins or
whatever is necessary to keep us justified is by itself saying that
whether or not we are righteous depends on our own obedience to the law in our
own righteousness and not the righteousness of God which is by faith
which is what the Bible teaches again one last scripture teaches it is simply
the obedience of Christ that we are made righteous Romans chapter 5 verses 18 to
19 says therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of life for as by one man's disobedience men
many were made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous according to the Bible by the righteousness and by the obedience of
one that's Jesus we are justified how are we justified because of the
obedience that we do know because of Jesus's obedience the obedience of one
okay if you have trusted Christ not only are all of your past sins washed away by
Christ's redeeming blood but then God imputes righteousness to you without
works so from the moment we get saved onward we are just not because of what
we do but because of God's righteousness so to say that you can lose your
salvation is basically in a way trying to say that God sins because we're going
to heaven not because of our righteousness but because of God's
righteousness so if you think what you're gonna go to hell because of your
sin well you're saying that God is not looking at Jesus and his own
righteousness you're saying that God is looking at what you do which is a
contradiction to what the scriptures say reason number 11 is that once we are
justified the Bible says that the Lord will not impute sin to us Romans 4 8
blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin so in Romans 4 there's a
continuing thought I stopped before at verse 7 where it says blessed are they
whose iniquities are forgiven and his sins are covered then in verse 8 it
teaches that blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin so it
teaches in this chapter that our justification is not has nothing to do
with our own works in any way we're justified by God's grace through faith
if we believe and that's it he that justifies the ungodly forgives our sins
and then imputes righteousness unto us and the result of this the ultimate
result of this is that it says in verse 8 the Lord will not impute sin unto us
and yet people teach well we can still go to hell because of the sins that we
commit after we get saved no because no sin you do in this flesh is imputed unto
your account he will not impute sin to you is what the Bible says if you have
been justified when God sees you he sees his own righteousness not your sins
here is a great example of this in 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 11 it says
in such were some of you but ye are washed but you are sanctified but you
are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God this
is the very same letter where Paul addresses the Corinthians as carnal that
is fleshly back in chapter 3 and he says that they were creating divisions and
factions of following after men back in that same chapters rebuking them for
allowing people within the church to commit fornication in chapter 5 and yet
Paul says clearly even though they are sinners even though they are not living
the way that God wants them to even though they are wicked he says ye are
washed ye are sanctified ye are justified okay that's present tense he
doesn't say well if you commit these sins you aren't justified anymore if you
commit these sins you're not going to be righteous anymore because our
righteousness is not dependent on what we do it's dependent on what Jesus
already did okay justification is about the forgiveness of our sins and the
imputation of Christ's righteousness as nothing to do with our own righteousness
in the first place and that's why he says to the Corinthians even though a
lot of them were living in sin he said ye are washed their sins have been
washed away ye are sanctified okay they have been made holy and you are
justified they have been raid righteous with the very righteousness of God so
therefore the Lord will not impute sin unto us meaning if you today have
believed on Jesus Christ from that moment forward no sin will ever condemn
your soul God has sanctified us meaning he's made us holy which we saw in
Hebrews 10 and that's an eternal sanctification it says he's perfected
forever than that are sanctified now reason number 12 is kind of continues
that thought is that we have been made a new creature through regeneration the
Bible teaches that part of our salvation besides just different besides just our
justification is also being regenerated or being born again so it says in Titus
chapter 3 verses 5 to 7 not by works of righteousness which we have done but
there's that again but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of
regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost which he shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Savior that being justified by his grace we should
be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life so here we see the whole
package of salvation he saved us by his mercy by the washing of regeneration and
renewing of the Holy Ghost and at this point we are justified by his grace and
it should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life of course talk
about some of the other stuff in some of the later points but I want to focus on
the phrase washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost what does
that mean well the word regeneration when you break it down simply means to
be born again is generation means to be created to be born while the prefix re
means again okay so to be regenerated is to be born or created again and then the
word renew that's also used here is to make something new again so when we are
saved according to Titus 3 the Holy Ghost both regenerates and renews us
meaning he causes us to be born again he makes us new again Jesus taught this
concept in John chapter 3 verses 5 to 7 Jesus answered verily verily I Sam to
thee except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit marvel not that I said unto thee ye must be born again
now we've all heard about being born again yet we should not mistake what
that means because Christ makes it clear that being born again is a spiritual
matter since everything brings forth after its own kind as taught throughout
the Bible that flesh brings forth flesh then spirit must also bring forth spirit
okay now since it's the Holy Ghost which regenerates and renews us according to
Titus 3 and it since it's the Holy Ghost which causes us to be born again since
it's called being born of the Spirit then this new birth is spiritual in
nature we've already been born into this world at the flesh and blood body okay
that's our first birth when we were born out of our mother's womb the second
birth is not a flesh and blood birth as Nicodemus originally thought it was but
rather it's a renewing a recreation of the Spirit within us it's an inward
change not an outward one when we got saved there was no change to our flesh
however there should be a change to the Spirit now how are we born again well
the same way that we are justified remember in Titus 3 it says the washing
of regeneration is part of salvation itself so therefore as the Bible teaches
in acts sick acts 1631 in Ephesians 2 8 we are saved by faith meaning we are
also regenerated by faith and that's proven further in John chapter 1 verses
12 to 13 where it says but as many as received him to them gave me power to
become the sons of God even to them that believe on his name which were born not
of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man but of God so
according to the Bible if you have believed on the name of Jesus Christ you
had been born of God and in doing so the Bible teaches that we have become a new
creature it says in 2nd Corinthians 5 17 therefore if any man be in Christ he is
a new creature all things are passed away behold all things are become new
now just think about that concept when we become a Christian when we get saved
by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ the Bible teaches that we are born again
but this regeneration is inward it's of the Spirit has nothing to do with the
flesh the scriptures teach that we are still waiting for the redemption of our
bodies in Romans 8 23 however our soul is a part of us that is redeemed and we
have become a new creature now what does this mean for us what are the
qualities of this new creature well the Bible says the following in Ephesians
chapter 4 verses 22 to 24 Ephesians 4 chapter 22 to 24 chapter 4 verses 22 to
24 it says that you put off concerning the former conversation the old man
which is corrupt according to the sea full us and be renewed in the spirit of
your mind and that you put on the new man which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness so here two different natures two different men
are presented there's the old man which it says is corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts that is the flesh okay but then there's also this new man which
according to the Bible is created in righteousness and true holiness so when
we talk about the new creature in Christ what is that new creature like it's
righteous and it's holy according to this verse and I'll talk about that a
bit more later but the point is that when we are saved we become a new
creature inwardly to say you can lose your salvation doesn't make any sense
because then it it creates the question well what happens to that new creature
what happens to that spirit what according are which according to the
Bible is in righteousness and true holiness if this new creature is
righteous and holy then why would it go to hell you know think about that
there's no answer that they can give because a lot of the people who teach
that you could lose your salvation think that like they present it as if all we
have is our bodies and that there's no soul or spirit that they're not they're
connected in every way which is not what the scriptures teach now reason number
13 relates to this and that is that the Bible teaches that we are spiritually
circumcised the scriptures speak of this in Colossians chapter 2 where it says in
Colossians 2 verses 10 to 11 and ye are complete in him which is the head of all
principality and power in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the
circumcision of Christ so it states clearly that Christ has circumcised us
with circumcision made without hands so of course this isn't a talking about the
physical circumcision which the Jews participate in but rather it defines it
as the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh now remember we talked
about earlier about how when we got saved we died with Christ on the cross
okay I believe that was reason number six or seven or something like that okay
that our body of sin is destroyed it says in Romans chapter 6 that is the
circumcision made without hands now the etymology of the word circumcision means
it's to cut around okay circum like like the word circumference and then scission
meaning to cut okay it means to cut around something when we get saved God
spiritually cuts out our flesh our body of sins from this new creature in his
eyes the body of flesh and blood is already dead according to Romans 6 it's
already destroyed and taken apart from our regenerated spirit it speaks
furthermore of the circumcision in Romans chapter 2 verses 28 to 29 where
it says for he is not a Jew which is one outwardly neither is that circumcision
which is outward in the flesh but he is a Jew which is one inwardly and
circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit and not in the letter whose
praise is not of men but of God so here we see that the circumcision is that of
the heart the circumcision not made with hands is not an outward one it's not an
outward circumcision as with the Jews the physical Jews but it's an inward one
it's an inward circumcision what is the result of this circumcision well it says
in a Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 6
Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 6 and the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart
and the heart of thy seed to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and
with all thy soul and thou mayest that thou mayest live so when our hearts are
circumcised the body of the sins of the flesh is put off according to
Colossians 2 meaning that our heart completely loves God that we might live
according to Deuteronomy 30 we live through this fact that now our heart our
inward man the spirit is circumcised it's set apart from our wicked flesh now
this ties in with the next point don't misunderstand what I'm saying because
all this ties together but I wanted to separate these things to help you to
understand and break it down reason the next reason reason number 14 is that
that which is born of God cannot sin according to the Bible first John 3 9
whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin for his seed remaineth in him and he
cannot sin because he is born of God now some who use the phony modern
translations will twist this to say well it means that you can't make a habit of
sin or you can't make a practice of sin or like you can't sin a lot otherwise
you were never sinned the first are saved in the first place that's what a
lot of Calvinists teach okay but that's not what it says in addition it clearly
says they cannot sin see they'll they will take apart the first section where
it says whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin and these people who
don't even speak Greek will go back to the Greek and say well commit means to
make a habit of okay well what about the second half of the verse where it says
he cannot sin see they don't have an answer for that plus it says later in
the book in 1st John 5 18 we know that whosoever is born of God
sin is not but he that big or he that has begotten of God keepeth himself and
that wicked one touch at them not so if you were born of God a Bible says three
times clearly you do not sin you cannot sin you sin it's not okay is this
teaching sinless perfection that those who are truly safe will never sin in the
flesh no that's not what it's teaching at all because it says even earlier in
a first John chapter 1 it says that if we say that we have no sin we deceive
ourselves of the truth is not in us see in this world in this life we still sin
but remember according to John chapter 3 the part of us which is born of God is
the spirit okay that's what it means here because it says whosoever is born
of God sin if not whosoever is born of God cannot sin okay we're talking about
the new creature we're talking about that which has been regenerated we're
not talking about our flesh the Bible says in John 3 that which is born of the
spirit is spirit our flesh was not born again our flesh was not changed when we
got saved the part of us that became the new creature is the spirit and according
to the scriptures that part of us cannot sin now why is this important because
how many religions out there say that if we sin in this world we will go to hell
okay that's probably the main reason why people say you can lose your salvation
they say well well you can't just live however you want if you sin in this life
and you'll still go to hell even if you've believed on Jesus Christ there's
a lot of religions that teach that Roman Catholicism and the Hebrew roots
movement and the Holiness movement of the Pentecostals and some
non-denominational churches there's a whole bunch of groups that say if you
sin in this life you will go to hell but that's impossible because since we have
been born again once we get saved remember Titus 3 says very clearly that
regeneration is part of our salvation so since we're saved by faith and according
to John chapter 1 verses 12 to 13 if you have belief if you have faith then
that moment you are born again and from that moment on according to 1st John 3
9 you cannot sin the new creature cannot sin it's created in righteousness of
true holiness that new man cannot sin and then our flesh is also circumcised
apart from the spirit so therefore there is no way to say that our spirit and our
soul could be condemned because when we sin in this life it's not our soul or a
spirits not the inward man that's sinning it's our flesh that's sinning
what sense does it make to say that we can go to hell for our sins when being
born of God means that we cannot sit okay if I commit sin in this life it's
not the the parts the part of us that's born of God okay so how can you say that
that new creature can go to hell when that new creature is without sin that
doesn't make any sense rather when we sin in this life the Bible teaches that
it is only the flesh that does so in Romans chapter 7 verses 17 to 25 now
then it is no more I that do it but sin that dwelleth in me for I know that in
me that is in my flesh dwelleth no good thing for to will is present with me but
how to perform that which is good I find not for the good that I would I do not
but the evil that I would not that I do now if I do that I would not it is no
more I that do it but sin that dwelleth in me I find that a law that when I
would do good evil is present with me for I delight in the law of God after
the inward man but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my
mind and bring me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members Oh
wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death I thank
God through Jesus Christ our Lord so that with a mind I myself serve the law
of God but with the flesh the law of sin so Paul explains clearly it is not I
that is the new man that which has been born of God is not I that sin but he
says sin that dwelleth in me he defines the next verse for I know that in me
that is in my flesh so when we sin what part of us is sinning the flesh it's not
the new man it's not the new creature is just the flesh sin that dwells within
the flesh because the flesh has not changed but the Spirit has and this
creates a battle while remain in this body while we remain on this earth while
our flesh wants to serve sin our mind wants to serve God with the mind we
serve the law of God and delight in the law of God that inward man that heart
which loves God because it has been circumcised and separated from this
wicked flesh made it into a new creature that part of us is without sin it was
prophesied in the book of Ezekiel concerning this in Ezekiel chapter 36
verses 25 to 27 it says then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and you
shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse
you a new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I
will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I'll give you in heart of
flesh and will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and
you shall keep my judgments and do them God talks here about being born again of
giving us a new heart and a new spirit and taking away the former stony heart
which would be a hardened heart that cannot be moved and that he will put his
spirit within us it says and cause us to walk in his statutes we know that this
has nothing to do with our bodies because we can still sin in this life
our flesh could still mess up rather it's talking about a change of heart
that's why he says heart and spirit and uses those words in this passage here if
you have believed on Christ you have a new heart and a new spirit and the
former sinful one is completely gone if you have believed on Christ your spirit
is perfect and cannot and cannot sin according to these multiple scriptures
that's part of the reason why sin will no longer be imputed to us remember
Romans 4 8 it says the Lord will not impute to us or the Lord will not impute
sin to us okay now we know that is not just so that our past sins are forgiven
but also sin will not be imputed because we are without sin from the day that we
got saved forward because we have been born of God okay now that's what the
Bible teaches and yet people say you can lose your salvation to say that you can
go to hell after being saved is ridiculous because if we're holy and
just and sin will never be imputed because our spirit and our soul cannot
sin because it has been renewed and our heart has been circumcised then this can
never happen it doesn't make any sense to say it could happen because what are
we being condemned for if our sins are gone you understand it doesn't make any
sense reason number 15 is that we have been made free from sin according to the
Bible another thing that takes place at our salvation is our freedom from sin
itself I touched on this briefly earlier with the subject of redemption but Jesus
said in John 8 32 and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free
he explains what he means in verse 34 by saying whosoever committed sin is the
servant of sin but remember according to 1st John 3 9 that which is born of
God cannot commit sin for a seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he
is born of God so our spirit that which has been born of God since it cannot
sin has been made eternally free from sin that's also part of the eternal
redemption remember the redemption is eternal and redemption is to buy us to
free us from our bondage to sin so we were our spirit our inward man was in
bondage to sin before but because we have been born again and our sins have
been forgiven we are no longer under that bondage we cannot go back into that
bondage we are eternally redeemed the Bible says so through knowing and
believing the truth of the gospel we are made free from sin as Jesus said in John
8 32 it says further in Romans chapter 6 verse 6 to 7 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 so again you see
how all of this works together because our old man is crucified with Christ and
our body of sin is destroyed we are freed from sin our body of sins have
been put off from us the born-again believer through the circumcision made
without hands although it is still possible in this world for our flesh to
serve sin it is not possible for that which is born of God it is written in
Romans chapter 6 verses 17 to 18 but God be thanked that he were the servants of
sin but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was
delivered you being then made free from sin you became the servants of
righteousness so according to the Bible we are now free from sin we are no
longer the servants of sin but rather servants of righteousness back in Romans
7 which I read earlier it says that with the inward man with the mind we serve
the law of God but it is the flesh that serves the law of sin how long does this
freedom last well as I mentioned earlier in Hebrews 9 the Bible says that Christ
has given us eternal redemption so in purchasing us in buying us with a price
we belong to God and are his servants forever the redemption is eternal this
is proven by the fact also as I showed earlier that we cannot sin because we
are born of God and only those who commit sin according to John 834 are the
servants of sin and since we cannot commit sin since we are born of God then
our spirit cannot be a servant of sin anymore it's very clear finally the
scriptures say in 2nd Corinthians 3 17 now the Lord is that spirit and where
the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty according to the Bible in John
7 38 39 those who believe on Christ receive the Spirit of God and where that
same spirit is according to the scripture 2nd Corinthians 3 17 it says
there is Liberty which of course is another word for freedom that's what
Liberty means but what's the point well it leads us to the next reason reason
number 16 of why we cannot lose our salvation is that the Holy Ghost abides
with us forever according to the Bible John 14 verses 16 to 17 and I will pray
the Father and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you
forever not temporarily not for a moment not until you sin not until you
backside but forever even the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive
because it seeth him not neither knoweth him but ye know him for he dwelleth with
you and shall be in you so Jesus said that this comforter which is the Spirit
of truth later in in John 14 26 it defines it clearly as the Holy Ghost he
says that he will abide with us forever when we get saved in the Spirit of God
indwells us this is not temporary it does not last for just a short period of
time okay as long as our bodies are alive the Spirit is dwelling within it
and therefore since it is not temporary neither is our Liberty because the Bible
says where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty and since the Spirit of
the Lord dwells forever then therefore we are forever free from sin but just
also the fact that the Bible tells us that we can never lose the Holy Ghost
is another reason why we cannot lose their salvation okay like the Lutherans
and the Augsburg Confession condemned Anabaptists which is basically the
forerunners to the Baptist they condemned and they attacked the Anabaptists
for saying that you can't lose the Holy Ghost they said well yeah you can lose
the Holy Ghost the Anabaptists are wrong well Jesus says right here that
the Holy Ghost will abide with us forever okay so if you are saved the
Holy Ghost will never leave you and that continues on in some other scriptures as
well so reason number 17 also relates to the Holy Ghost to the Spirit the Bible
tells us that the Spirit which has been given to us seals us unto the day of
redemption and it itself is an earnest or a sign of the promise that God has
given so it says in Ephesians chapter 1 verses 12 to 14 that we should be to
the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ in whom you also
trusted after that you heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in
whom also after that ye believed you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of
promise which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchase possession unto the praise of his glory so when we heard the word of
truth the gospel and that believed on Christ we were sealed with the Holy
Spirit of promise so when the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us it seals
us and verse 14 it says that the spirit is the earnest of our inheritance until
the redemption of the purchase possession now the word earnest as a
noun means something that is given as a sign or a promise of that which is to
come you could also define it as a down payment God giving the spirit to us
according to the Bible is his earnest meaning is sign of the future promising
us our inheritance and according to this passage the spirit ceiling is not
temporary as we've already seen with John 14 see the fact that he has sealed
us until the day of redemption or until the redemption of the purchase
possession shows us that until this takes place until our until this
purchase possession that it talks about here is redeemed there is nothing that
we can do to reverse our salvation because the spirit is within us and it
seals us until that day now what is the purchase possession that's mentioned
here remember first Corinthians 6 20 says that we have been bought with a
price therefore glorify God in your bodies and in your spirits which are
gods meaning that our body right now belongs to God okay it has been
purchased by him even though it's not yet been fully redeemed it will one day
be redeemed it still belongs to him later in the book of Ephesians and again
says in Ephesians 4 30 and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are
sealed unto the day of redemption so the scriptures say again clearly that the
Holy Spirit has sealed us unto the day of redemption until our bodies also are
redeemed and we experience the fullness of our salvation at the rapture the
Holy Spirit will always seal us it is still there you cannot remove it and to
teach that the Holy Ghost can depart from us is heresy it goes against what
the scriptures say the Bible says we are still wait we are still waiting for the
redemption of our bodies in Romans chapter 8 verse 21 to 23 it says because
of the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God for we know that the
whole creation groaneth and travaileth and pain together until now and not only
they but ourselves also which have the first fruits of the Spirit even we
ourselves groan within ourselves waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption
of our body so what we wait for right now what we are still waiting for
according to this passage is the adoption to wit the redemption of our
body we know that from other passages like 1st Corinthians 15 verses 51 to 54
that this speaks about the rapture when Christ will change our corruptible
bodies into an incorruptible and immortal body like our spirits okay the
spirit within us that dwells within every believer is the sign that God has
given that wit or is the sign that God has given that this will indeed take
place it is our earnest it is our promise until the rapture happens and
our bodies also are redeemed alongside our souls again it says in 2nd
Corinthians chapter 1 verses verse 22 or 21 to 22 now he which established us
with you in Christ and hath anointed us is God who has who has also sealed us
and given the earnest of the spirit in our hearts so we should know within our
hearts that we are sealed by God to say we can lose our salvation is to say that
you by your own actions can undo that ceiling which God did that's nonsense
in this practical blasphemy okay the spirit within us or spirit is within us
if you are saved and according to the Bible it dwells with us forever and
since it dwells with us forever we have the guarantee the earnest that one day
our bodies will be raptured and our salvation will be complete again it is
written in 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verses 1 1 through 5 for we know that if
our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God
and house made not with hands or eternal in the heavens for in this we
groan earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven
if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked for we are we that are in
this tabernacle do groan being burdened not for that we would be unclothed but
clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up of life now he that hath
wrought us for the self same thing is God who also hath given unto us the
earnest of the spirit so according to the Bible the body which we dwell in
right now the earthly house of this tabernacle will one day be dissolved and
replaced with a building of God which according to verse 1 is eternal in the
heavens so imagine that the spiritual body of a Christian is already being
prepared for you in heaven and we desire that this tabernacle this flesh we now
dwell in might be taken off that we might be clothed with this building of
God our house which is from heaven that mortality might be swallowed up of life
notice the same language here that's also used in Romans chapter 8 where it
talks about groaning within ourselves while waiting for this adoption okay
then verse 5 ends with the same statement that we've seen twice already
in Ephesians 1 14 and also in a second Corinthians 1 22 where it says that God
has given to us the earnest of the spirit so how do we have the hope that
our body shall be redeemed because God has given to us the spirit it is the
earnest it is the promise it is the sign that he will do what he has
promised to do that is his sign that we will be changed to say you can lose your
salvation is basically to say well even though God has given the spirit that's
not the promise I'm not gonna believe God okay that is a lack of faith in the
Lord reason number 18 is that we are the children of God according to the
scriptures when you are born again being born of God you become the child of God
you are born into his family as it is written in John 1 12 but as many as
received him to them gave me power to become the sons of God even to them that
believe on his name so those who believe on the name of Jesus according to the
Bible they become the sons of God is written further in Galatians 3 26 for
you're all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus so if you have faith
according to the Bible you are right now a child of God it is written further in
Romans chapter 8 verses 14 to 16 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God
they are the sons of God for ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
fear but you have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba father the
spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God
again I think it's pretty clear when the spirit of God comes to indwell us that
is the sign that we are the sons of God and we know that we are through that
spirit which bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God
therefore since we have been made his children the Bible says we are of the
household of God again we belong to his family there's a spiritual relation
between the born-again Christian and the Lord it says in Ephesians 2 19 now
therefore you're no more strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the
Saints and of the household of God now why is this important well because
we're God's children to say that somebody can lose their salvation is to
say that somebody can undo their birth which of course doesn't make any sense
because we can't be unborn that doesn't make any sense furthermore to say that
we can lose their salvation and end up going to hell would be to say that our
loving father would cast us cast us our own children into everlasting torment of
fire that's such a wicked way to think the scriptures teach us that God deals
with us as with a son because we are his children Hebrews chapter 12 verses
5 to 8 it says and ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as
unto children my son despise not thou the chastening of the Lord nor faint
when thou art rebuked of him for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and
scourgeth every son whom he receiveth if he endure chastening God dealeth with
you as with sons for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not but if he be
without chastisement where of all our partakers and our you bastards and not
sons so because of the fact that we are now God's children if we have believed
God treats us as his children and inflicts discipline when discipline is
needed we are chastised when we sin okay just like a loving father with chastise
or chasing and spank his child if they disobey him would never kill that child
so God deals the same with us okay in the following verses of Hebrews 12 it
explains clearly that the purpose of this chastening is for our prophet it's
not to destroy us but to get us on the right path again the scriptures speak of
God's chastening in the following manner in Psalm 89 verses 30 to 33 if his
children forsake my law walk not my judgments if they break my statutes and
keep not my commandments then will I visit their transgression with the rod
and their iniquity with stripes nevertheless my loving kindness will I
not utterly take from him nor suffer my faithfulness to fail another great
proof of eternal security if we break God's commandments he will visit our
transgressions with the rod he will chastise us he will discipline us it's
the same language used in Proverbs about when speaking about a father
disciplining their child but then it says in verse 33 is loving kindness will
not be utterly taken away he will not allow his faithfulness to fail he's
never going to stop loving us he's never gonna stop being faithful to us he's
never gonna kill us or sent us to hell we are his children hey I think that
should be pretty obvious to understand but there's a lot of people who don't
get that today okay and let's see I think I'll stop there or no yeah that's
good for today all right so that's that was reason 18 so I'll pick up with
reason number 19 in a couple days or whenever I don't know I guess tomorrow
I'm gonna be doing the video on Romans so I'll probably pick it back up on
Monday all right so thank you buddy for watching that's it for today I'll
continue this series still have what 16 17 reasons to go so thank you buddy for
watching god bless you and goodbye
