You know, in our church or in different churches like ours, we're going to go through seasons of doctrinal battles, right? You know, there's going to be a season in our church where we have to battle for the King James Bible, where people begin to question the infallibility of the Word of God. There's going to be times when people are trying to attack the Trinity or trying to attack calling upon the name of the Lord. And each of these doctrines have a season that we have to battle it for, right? Whereas salvation and eternal security is always being attacked. Eternal security is not a seasonal doctrine that people attack every once in a while, it's just always being attacked. And so this is something that we have to earnestly contend for, emphasize, preach about, teach about, and make sure that we give the distinction of what the Bible says about it because it's that important, okay? You say, why? Well, look at verse 4. For there are certain men crept in and aware who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. He said, why should we earnestly contend for the faith? Because there are wicked false prophets out there that seek to pervert the ways of the Lord, that seek to pervert the gospel and turn the grace of God into lasciviousness. They're trying to carnalize the gospel by saying you have to work for it. There's something you have to do on your part. In order to be saved. That's what they're doing. And so it's important that we emphasize this and hit it with the hammer and hit the nail on the head and constantly emphasize the importance of the fact that once you're saved, you're always saved. You can never lose it. Go to John chapter 11, if you would. John chapter 11. John chapter 11. Now what's another way to describe eternal security? Because when we talk about eternal security, we're talking about the fact that a believer is eternally secure from the moment that they believe forever, right? They're never going to go to hell. They'll never suffer the consequences of their sins because Jesus Christ has already paid for it.
