Look at first John 5 10 he that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself he that believeth not God hath made him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son so what is the record that God is giving of his son what does record mean it means the witness right he's giving a record that Jesus Christ came he died for us was buried rose again the third day and if we believe on him he'll give us everlasting life if we choose not to believe that God automatically takes that as you're calling me a liar verse 11 and this is the record that God had given to us eternal life and this life is in a son now here's the thing one thing we have to understand that in order for someone to get saved they have to believe the salvation is a gift a gift right they obviously have to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God so you have to believe that it's a gift you have to believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God without sin but still the Son of God distinct from the Father amen but you also have to believe that it's eternal that it can never be lost now why is that well it's kind of stupid to believe to say that we believe in everlasting life or eternal life but that we believe in losing because at that point then then you need to switch the first part of that phrase and just call it temporary right there's no longer eternal eternal means it never ends but all of a sudden it ends because you did something and here's the thing that people like to say well yeah I believe it's everlasting and God will never take away your salvation but you you can give it up who in the right mind I don't want this anymore that's such a stupid illustration stupid saying yeah but you we can't lose it but you can you know you can give it back what that is so foolish and garbage you know this this philosophy that says it just semantics is what it is what they're trusting well you know yeah God can't take it away from me he won't but you can give it up you know you know where that stems from that stems from this denominational Christianity that uses unbiblical phrases about salvation such as surrender my life you know oh so how did you get saved wise I gave my life to God what does that mean what does that mean you gave your life are you a monk what does that even mean because you won't find them in the Bible I surrendered my life I gave my life now look as Christians I believe we should surrender it daily amen we die daily take up our cross and follow him but that's a that's another sermon for another day because right now we're talking about getting saved okay you know they'll say I surrender my life I gave my life to Christ and they'll relate that to their salvation okay that is not how you get saved because here's the thing in order to die daily you have to keep God's commandments right in order to surrender to God you got to keep God's commandments right you got to do things that are pleasing unto him abstain from doing that which is not pleasing to them and at that point guess what it becomes works you
