Story of two believers
Theology matters
Ephesians 1:11-14
Perseverance of the saints
What it is
Romans 4:21
Simply speaking, perseverance of the saints, is believing that God is able to do what He said He would do.
It is having faith that God is strong.
That what He says He will do…he can and will do.
We must not get confused between what man says, and what God says.
Some people declare promises.
God is not obligated to keep those.
God keeps the promises that He makes.
The Preservation of God
v.13
You were sealed
God is the one who saved us.
God is the one who preserves us.
We are strong standing not in our strength and power, but in the Lord, and in His might.
1 John 5:4
All those who are born of God, can and will overcome the world
Phil 1:6
God began a good work in you, He will complete it.
What is that good work?
1 John 4:19
If we love God, it is because God has begun that good work in us.
What it isn’t
Freedom to sin
Romans 6:1-4
We are not to trample on the grace of God, living as sinners and claiming grace.
What about those other verses?
1 Tim 6:12, Luke 12:8-9, 1 Cor 10:12, Rev 3:5
They tell us to fight the good fight, that if we deny Christ, He will deny us.
That our names can be blotted out of the book of life.
God does not contradict, nor is He a God of confusion.
These verses are a call to persevere, a call to holiness.
They are a stern reminder that we were bought with a price, and if you are really a Christian, you have a job to glorify God with your life.
It is a warning letting you know that assurance isn’t a free license to sin.
They were not Christians
Those who don’t stand strong, who walk away.
1 John 2:19
What John reminds us, is that those who would trample on the blood of Christ in their own freedom, were not really believers.
This is why Jesus says, you will know them by their fruits.
Why 1 Peter says that the genuineness of your faith must be tested by various trials.
Why?
To separate the sheep from the goats.
Comfort, In Christ
The entire point of knowing these things isn’t to get a license to sin.
It is to encourage, and strengthen the believers who are fighting the good fight.
To encourage those who yes, might not always be perfect, but love God and desire to glorify Him.
It is so we may know that neither riches, or poverty, or sickness, or persecution, or cancer, or Alzheimer, nothing can separate you from the love of Christ.
To encourage those doing right
1 John 5:13
That we might have confidence, that we have eternal life.
Our salvation began as a gift of grace, it isn’t kept by works.
Our salvation is a gift of grace, and is kept by grace.
Jude 24-25
