1st John 5:11, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”
The subject of eternal security is a controversial subject, but it is 100% Biblical. My friend, if you don't believe in “ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED,” you are not saved. It's that simple. The reason why is because if you're trusting Jesus, then you can't lose it. It you think your salvation can be lost, then you are relying upon human effort to keep you saved. This is why I expose the Salvation Army as heretics.
Please notice three things from our text Verse in 1st John 5:11...
- Eternal life is a gift from God.
- It is “eternal life,” that is, it never ends.
- Eternal life is obtained only in Jesus Christ!
Amen! The inspired, precious, inerrant, preserved, holy, King James Bible, teaches that once a person is saved, they can NEVER lose it!!!
Many Baptists are not saved. It is sad but true. I can tell you unequivocally that if you believe you can ever forfeit your salvation, you don't have it friend. Dr. Hank Lindstrom preaches a wonderful MP3 sermon on the subject titled, “How Permanent Is Your Salvation?”
Once you are saved, you have passed from death unto life. John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” What a beautiful Scripture teaching eternal security of the believer. There are two types of people in this world: 1) those who believe; 2) those who don't believe. The Bible promises that those who believe have everlasting life. God authored the Gospel of John to convince us that Jesus is the Son of God, the Christ, and that by BELIEVING on His name we will have eternal life. John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
