INTRODUCTION: Salvation prayer on roller coasters.
The biggest question is who is he talking about?
Christian or non-Christian.
3 biggest theories:
You lose your salvation.
Hebrews 5:9 “9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,”
Hebrews 10:14 “14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.”
Its about non-believers who are around the church.
Its a hypothetical.
Cross illustration.
Yet, many of us know people who have fallen away.
Teaching us that there will be many people who for a seasons will look like believers.
Don’t let this happen to you!
If you could fall away then Jesus would need to be crucified again.
If you could lose your salvation.
You would.
Don’t ask if you can lose your salvation, ask can God lose me?
drink the rain - receive the teaching from the word of God.
Produces a crop.
receives a blessing from God. - bear fruit.
You do what you were designed to do.
If your life is marked with thorns and thistles instead of the love of God then you are “closed to being cursed” notice, it is not cursed yet.
But close to it.
end is to be burned.
The final destination: burn.
Hell.
If you fall away you become useless to the Lord.
Draw this out - He has been warning them don’t fall away!
…but then he switches it and says but I’m not worried about you.
Leading to assurance
in your case, beloved - He is saying, because you are Christian.
there is something better.
- salvation.
God is not unjust - this is true. in all circumstances.
We often feel like he is, but he never is.
overlook your work - he sees your faithfulness (sees in secret)
love that you have shown for his name - We love the name of Jesus, and being serving saints as you do.
You want assurance that you are a believer?
Serve others for God’s sake.
ILLUSTRATION - overlooking good work at job or school??
God has no desire to keep you doubting your salvation.
He wants you to be assured.
How?
By showing earnestness.
- the sin makes you doubt, not Jesus.
Inherit the promises - the point of it all.
How do we do that?
By faith and patience.
Sluggish - lazy in following Jesus.
imitators - Copy those who inherited it
patience - big difference between being lazy vs being patient.
If you fall away you miss the blessings of the Lord.
CONCLUSION - story of someone who fell away????????????? / emphasis on grace????????????? it is well
Child, hold onto me as I hold onto Jesus…story of boys on my shoulders.
If it was up to you, you would lose your salvation, but it’s not up to you.
If they walk away, then they can’t get saved again.
....Good news, Christians can’t walk away, fully.
....If you do, your not saved.
Falling away - never ate macdonalds chicken again.
Getting saved on every roller coaster.
