https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYbtFlA2Dac&ab_channel=GotQuestionsMinistries The assurance of salvation is, simply put, knowing for sure that you are saved. Many Christians throughout history have written about their struggles in being assured of their salvation. The problem is that many followers of Jesus Christ look for the assurance of salvation in the wrong places. We tend to seek assurance of salvation in the things God is doing in our lives, in our spiritual growth, in the good works and obedience to God’s Word that is evident in our Christian walk. While these things can be evidence of salvation, they are not what we should base the assurance of our salvation on. Rather, we should find the assurance of our salvation in the objective truth of God’s Word. We should have confident trust that we are saved…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OD3Xz0YZ1U Let's  talk about the sin of Adam specifically  as it relates to a very popular concept  today that we all as human beings  inherit the sin of Adam and are  therefore born by inheritance sinful and  guilty and with blame because of sin. Is this a biblical concept? The concept of this  inheritance of sin is taken a lot of  times from Romans 5:12. Paul  said to the church at Rome “Therefore,  just as through one man sin entered the  world, and death through sin, and thus  death spread to all men because all  sinned.” He said that through one man sin entered  the world. In Genesis chapter 3, you can see that Adam was the first  man to sin and that was the  entrance of sin into the…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5qVTCBhiIQ&t=1167s Do some people who  have become real Christians ever  renounce their faith and stop being a  Christian? Or is someone who's been  saved once always saved? Christianity is  pretty much divided into two camps. One  side believes in eternal security and  the other side does not. The  Bible clearly teaches that once you're in  the faith, Jesus keeps you in the faith  unto the end. It also teaches that if you  depart from the faith, you'll be damned. First of all, I'm going  to give you a list of scriptures that  teach preservation of the Savior  (i.e. God preserves us in the  faith). Then I'm going to give you a  group of scriptures that teaches perseverance  of the saints (i.e. saints must  persevere in the faith to be saved…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLsH1udGGC4 Can a Christian lose salvation? Once we are born again, justified by  faith in Jesus Christ, can we then lose  salvation? Does  God give us the free gift of salvation  and then if we're not good enough or  don't obey enough, remove it?  The position that  I believe in is called “perseverance of  the saints”. That once a Christian is  justified by faith, the faith alone is  that which makes him right with God. It  is not works at all. Works has nothing to  do with how an individual is justified,  saved, brought into salvation. But I  don't believe it ends there. I believe  that true saving faith leads to a  transformation. The Bible says we are  born again. It is a very real  supernatural rebirth that occurs in…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZu0DXcDypE Is it wrong for a  Protestant church to have a Creed that  says something to the effect that we are  saved by faith evidenced by works or  Abraham was saved by faith demonstrated  by works? No, that's I would say,  that the biblical view is that we are  saved through faith alone - that's the instrument that joins us to  Jesus - but saving faith is never  alone;  it always has works. If it is truly  saving faith, it will produce works  because it's a divine faith given by God  that's real.  Abraham  believed God and it was credited to him  as righteousness. (Romans 4:3) God credits  to us righteousness apart from works of  law but then  he asked the question in Romans 4 - When  was Abraham justified…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn-xF_meCZ0 When you preach grace, you're always going to be met with this question: Is grace a license to sin? When you tell people that Jesus just gives you eternal life as a free gift totally apart from your works, totally apart from whether you're a good person or a bad person (and really we are all bad people) but he just gives bad people eternal life, who simply believe in him for it. People are outraged at that. It seems totally unfair. They want to be able to earn their salvation or to deserve it or be able to boast before God that “Yes, I was better than the other person. That's why I'm saved.” But when you preach God's free grace, they think “If people hear that, what's…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LyUaQDxG-A Are good works necessary for salvation? Let's look in the Bible for answers. In Luke chapter 23, the Bible tells us that there were two criminals hanging next to Jesus. We can see how the two criminals responded to Jesus. One mocked him, the other asked for forgiveness. They both encountered Jesus but only one accepted him. With his dying breath, Jesus forgave the criminal of everything he had ever done and he assured the man he would be with him in Paradise. What is your idea on how the criminal was saved? It is clear that this criminal was saved by God's grace through his faith in Jesus Christ. Luke 8:9-14 Jesus told the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. He contrasts two people in the…

Salvation is very unsure.Philippians 3:10-21 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; {11} If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. {12} Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. {13} Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, {14} I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus……{20} For our conversation (ie citizenship) is in heaven; from…
