• 0:47

  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Shot out to Team Jesus for allowing me to be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on your group as well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That's a good look right there. Seen it flash across
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the screen.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: We're gonna just go into a little bit of a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: question that comes up a lot in discussion and conversations.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I should say, right, can you lose the gift of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: eternal life?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Think about it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The eternal life giver gives us the gift of eternal
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: life and you already have it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I already have it right Why because.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: We believe trust and put our faith in the Lord Jesus,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: who is the one who offered eternal life. Can you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: or I lose the gift of eternal life today in the.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Morning, devo? Amen?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And the thing is losing your gift of eternal life.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Listen to this clashes clashes with the core message of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the New Testament. We're gonna be in first. Excuse me
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and John now, First John, John, Chapter ten, verses twenty
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: eight and twenty nine. John, Chapter ten, verses twenty eight
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and twenty nine.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I know it's a loaded question. It's up for debate,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: but we don't debate over here. And I'm not saying
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that my viewpoint is one hundred percent correct.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You have a different viewpoint. You can leave it on
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a live chat as well. But we're gonna read a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: scripture straight from the New Testament and just look at
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it for a second, Amen, and look at it honestly
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with an open heart, an open mind, and that Holy spirit.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Amen. Teach us this, Teach it to us. Amen.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So that's an amazing question, because if we could lose
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: something that God gave us. Then it seems like we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: have a lot more power than we thought we had.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Right giving God to something back that he gave us.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't even know how you do that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: How do you do that? Amen?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: God gave me a gift of X Y Z and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I say, no, you know what, God, I'm gonna give
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it back. I think I could do that, But.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I can do it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He's used the gift that he gave me and use
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it for another kingdom, use it for the world, use
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it for my own selfish gain or whatever.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: But that means I still have it. I still have
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the gift.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Can you lose the gift of eternal life? To dandem
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: morning devo? If you have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: or anything along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it on a live chat. That's what we're here for.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: We're here to communicate. We're here to get together. Of course,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: look at the Word of God together, Amen, and rely
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent on Holy Spirit to teach and guide
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: us through any morning devotion. That's my reliance. I don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: rely on self knowledge, self taught stuff, Nope, AI, Nope,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I rely Holy Spirit God to teach Amen, we're in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the time of information so cold, we could pop up
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: information anytime anywhere.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But Holy Spirit is different.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit gives you that truth all the time, doesn't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: give you data, doesn't give you input from human beings.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: God is an eternal being and Holy Spirit, God that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: lives inside of all his children, leads and guides us.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says to all truth. So we're gonna
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: rely on His truth given word. So let's pray first.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: After we pray with shad us out for like sixty seconds,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and then we would come back on the other side
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of those sixty seconds, would jump into the scripture that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I found John Chapter ten, twenty eight and twenty nine
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: found it to be relevant to this question, can you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lose the gift of eternal life?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Father? I thank you, Lo God for the gift of
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: eternal life.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: First and foremost, thank you for saving us, rescuing us,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: giving us a new mind, a new.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Heart, and we're born again.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I pray, Lo God, I had your protection daily Logod,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I pray and I thank you for health, strength and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: protection as well over myself, my wife, our children, our family,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: our grandchildren, everyone connected to us, our friends, all our
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: relatives on both sides of our families. Thank you so much,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Logod for just allowing another day to happen in our lives.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I pray look at that you would supernaturally increase our faith,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that you would develop in us some kind of strength
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that this world will want, and it will be attractive
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to the world because the strength that they will see
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: will be through our weakness, and your strength will be
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: seen through our weakness. I pray Lo God, that this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: question that it's asked so many times, Lo God, will
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: be solidified according to your word, and we would trust
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and have confidence and how to approach this question with
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: your answer, and your answer is your word. So thank you,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Lo God for your angels. Thank you Lo God for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: dispatching your angels to every single one of our children
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and my relatives and every single person on my wife's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: side as well, and every single person on the other
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: side of the screen and on the other side of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this mic, that you would dispatch arkman angels to demolish
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the tactics of the devil and the plans that he
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: has set for us today. I pray it's by faith
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: knowing that you hear these prayers and your answering them
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: according to every single individual life that has faith and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: trust in you. In Jesus' name, I pray it's by
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: faith and all those who agree, we say, Amen, toe
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the Amen. Help me share this out sixty seconds so
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: all it takes.

  Speaker 1: you for the blessings, my sister, my friend, is good

  Speaker 1: to see you on the morning.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Devo.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Hey man, let me get this on the screen together,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and just in case you don't have your bibles ready
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: for your bible app open, amen, let's look at the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: scripture together, so that way we could see. And then,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of course I always encourage you to read the scripture
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in its whole entirety, like the whole chapter.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So let's get to it. Where are we.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Something has changed around on my screen here, all right? Question,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: can you lose the gift of eternal life? Let's see
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: John chapter ten Versus twenty eight and twenty nine, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I give them eternal life. This is the Lord Jesus
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: speaking a quote from him.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And they will never.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Ever by any means perish, and no one will ever
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: snatch them out of my hand. My father, who has
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: given them to me, is greater and mightier than all,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and no one is able to snatch them out of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the Father's hand. You see the exchange of authority here
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: so first he says, I give them eternal life. Jesus
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is saying that right because He's God, and they will
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: never ever by any means perish. In other words, whatever
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the enemy thought he could do to us is canceled.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: No one, nothing, No one will ever snatch them out
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of my hand. Whose hand the Lord's hand, my father,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: who has given them to me. The Father gives the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: son Us, Jesus takes from there, right takes us into
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: his hand. Because the Father, who gave us to the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Lord is greater and mightier than all.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: So this, this is the triunity of God. The Father.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Gives to the Son right us. The Son says, ain't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: nobody greater than my father? And me and the Father
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: are one and no one. Because of that, no one
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Whose hand was? Whose hand are we in in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: beginning of this scripture, we're in the Lord's hand. There's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: no there's no wordplay here. Amen, It's exactly what Jesus said.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: The Father the Son a one holy spirit, Son Father
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a one. I know, humanly speaking, it sounds weird. We're
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna be able to understand it. That's why God
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: is who he is, and he is high and lifted
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: up above our understanding. Yet he made himself, let's see,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and to the form of a man so he could
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be relevant to our way of thinking. In other words,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: he lowered himself, humble himself, to the form of a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: man to give us the perfect example of how to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: live out a Christian or I shouldn't say Christian life,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a godly life.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He was God, Man, God in the flesh.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And notes disappeared again, but I finally got the backup
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: for it. So the idea of losing salvation is clashing.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It's contrary to the core message of the New Testament.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You ever realized that the core message of the New
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Testament is what? What was the first This is a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: quiz first preaching that Jesus did? What was the topic?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Anybody knows?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Amen?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Any Christology beat people out there study the life of Christ.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: What do you think Christ's first message? His first preaching
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: was about since the joint, I see you, good morning, God,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: bless you. It's good to see my sister, my friend.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's called repentance. Jesus preached repentance, talked about the Kingdom
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of God. So he was bringing on new message to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: people who were already versed or informed in the Old Covenant.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So when somebody says you could lose the gift of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: eternal life, they're actually saying that Jesus was not enough.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And he just said it in the scripture that we
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: read that no one can ever snatch us out of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: his hand, no one can ever take away what he
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: gave us. I think that includes when he says no one.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I think that includes us. I see people who have
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the gift of God in their lives in the church world, right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: They're famous, They're on TV all the time, traveling all
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the time, and their gift is there. But you can
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: see that they're using it for self gain, fame, fortune
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and all that. But did God take away the gift
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of eternal life in their life? I can't say that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody can say that. That's between them
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and the Lord. When you place your faith in the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ, this is what happens. You receive the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: gift of eternal life. So I put my faith in
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and then he gives me the gift of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: eternal life. Guess what, Everyone is gonna live forever right
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on this side of eternity.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It's short.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: The body will go to the ground, but the soul
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that saved goes back to the Father. The unsaved soul
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: goes to another destination. Right, our spirit right lives, our
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: soul lives. I don't understand it all, Amen. Some people
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: say it's energy that our energy goes back to the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: greater energy connects, reconnects with the greater energy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: But I'll stick to the scriptures.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: When you place your faith in Jesus Christ, you receive
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the gift of eternal life, which is secure and unsheable. Right,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: our faith will be tested, but our gift of eternal
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: life is secure and unshakable. Right, life will rock, us
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: will tee to totters sometimes, but the gift of eternal
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: life is secure and unshakable. Jesus himself tells us that
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: no one can snatch us out of his hand, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that includes us John ten. We read it twenty eight
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and twenty nine. So this is eternal security, and I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: believe in eternal security. If Jesus gave us something, I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: don't think anyone could take it away, including ourselves. We
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: can mess things up along the way, but the gift
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of eternal life is still with us unless I don't know.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Can you forfeit the gift of eternal life? That's a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: good question. Can you give it back and say I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: don't want it? That's another good question. All I know
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is that if you receive what God gives a man,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: no one could take it. In other words, what is
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the enemy's job? The devil's job is to kill, steal,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and destroy. Can he steal our rea turn of life?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Can he kill our return of life? Can he destroy
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: our eternal life? Think about it clearly, and Holy Spirit
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: will give you that answer to that. This internal security
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: is based on not what we do, not about our works,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: but it's based on the finished work of Christ on
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the Cross, not in our own efforts or not in
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: our own behavior. Why is that Christian acting like that?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Why is disminister acting like that that minutes to doing
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: all that crazy stuff? Why is that church turning up
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and playing all the secular music over there?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Well? I don't know.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: If it was based on their behavior, then yeah, they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: be in bigger trouble than they already are. But they
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: have time to repent, repent asap. I've seen some crazy
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: videos of some churches that are doing some crazy things
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: in their churches. Man, and I laugh, not because it's funny.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I laugh because God was not mocked.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: They're mocking God as if they think they could do that,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But He's not mocked the believers watching his brothers and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: sisters praying. There's preachers rebuking, there's Holy Spirit convicting those
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: members and those people and those leaders that are doing
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: crazy things.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: On the pulpit. Amen.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: They're doing it for show, obviously, they're not aligning themselves
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: with the word of God, obviously, but they still have
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the gift of eternal life right according to the Lord.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: No one could snatch that away, take that away.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Now they were faking and phony, and the salvation wasn't
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: really solid or they weren't really saved, then of course
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: they get to act that way. But our salvation, our
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: gift of eternal life, is not based on behavior patterns.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: It is based on the finished work of Jesus on
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the cross. It's a big difference between the way we
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: behave and the way God finished his.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Work on the cross. The apostle Paul.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Says that nothing can separate us from the love of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: God in Christ. Jesus, the love of God in Christ Jesus.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Where is the love of God at in Christ Jesus
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Romans eight thirty eight and thirty nine, very popular scripture,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: so many of us quoted. Amen, And I think that
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it's attached to our gift of eternal life. We have
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the gift of eternal life. That means we have the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: love of God that gave us this gift of eternal life.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And God can't His love is inseparable. It could go
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to different planets, and his love is still with us.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: We could try to go to the deepest part of
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the seas. His love is still with us.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Means means that once you are in Christ, you are
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: forever united with Him. Right the last time I checked,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the scripture says Jesus died once for all whoever believes
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: in Him shall not perish, but have what eternal life
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: John three sixteen.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: We see that God Jesus.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Was on a rescue mission, and he completed his mission
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: on this side of eternity. Amen. And then what did
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: he promise? He's coming back. But in the meantime he
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: sent one just like him to live inside of us.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, God, So your salvation is complete. The gift
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of eternal life is can't be taken away. You are
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: in Christ, you're forever united with Him, and your salvation
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: is not something that can be lost or forfeited. According
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to you know what I see in the scripture. If
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: there's an example of a disciple or apostle that forfeits
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: this gift of eternal life, then show me the scriptures. Amen,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I've seen stories of rich young rulers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: A rich young ruler turning down Jesus and his offer
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to go and follow him.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So that's telling me that he never was saved, he
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: was never born again. He went away sad. He knew
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: some of the commandments, he actually thought he fulfilled the commandments,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: or he says, yeah, I know the commandments. I follow
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the commandments, and Jesus okay, so you're close. I think
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: that meant so many things that when Jesus said he's close,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: he was close right there to salvation because he was
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: talking to salvation. He was talking to the eternal life giver.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: But he went away sad. The Bible says, because he
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: couldn't let go, and Jesus didn't tell him to give
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: it all away. He says, sell your possessions. Then comes
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: follow me. So this rich one ruler had a lot
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of possessions if he was rich, right, and he could
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: have sold those poss essions and still have money and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: still follow Jesus. So being rich doesn't disqualify you of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: eternal life. Being rich just gives you more time and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: space to help others.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But so many people can't separate from their possessions, can't
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: separate from their riches. They think that they're going to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: lose it all if they follow Jesus, and it's actually opposite.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: You gain it all when you follow Jesus.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: People.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Ten fourteen is another scripture that you can look at
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: that says, by one sacrifice, Jesus had made perfect forever
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: those who are being made holy.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: So we are holy? Why because God is holy.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: So we're repeating what the word says, and we're being
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: who the world says.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: So understand this that this gift of eternal life we
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: call salvation is a gift of grace. Nothing I could
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: do to earn or maintain right through my own actions,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I can't make upper plan to maintain salvation. Let me
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: do this, that and the third, and I'll make sure
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that I'm saved today. I'll make sure that I don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: lose this gift of eternal life. If I do X,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: y Z, that'll be a crazy life to live. Always
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: looking over your shoulder, said that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I lose it?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Did I lose it? That I lose it? Did I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: do enough to gain it? Did I do enough to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: lose it?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Amen? That'll be a horrible life.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: And if that's you, Amen, I'll pray that God will
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: give you the peace and understanding that you don't have
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to live that way anymore. If you're in a real
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: strict church or under real strict leadership, that might be
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit overboard.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Now, you can't do this, You can't do that. You
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: gotta go to hell.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: You can't be saved one day and then go to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: hell the next day. They can't be preaching from the pulpit.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: You're born again, you saved, You're renewed. If you receive gess.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Christ is Lord and Savior, you're a new creation in Christ.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Of the old is dead.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: The new has come. And then the following week, oh
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you went to the movies, You're going to hell. Be
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: careful with who you connect yourself with.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I hear that preach all the time in my church.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It's important who you connect yourself with. Most importantly, connect
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: yourself to the one who's already inside of you. Connect
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: yourself to Holy Spirit God if you're born again, but
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: if you're in some kind of religion, Amen, I would
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: really pray that you will find your way out of
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: that religion and find yourself trusting in God and having
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a relationship with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. Understand
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that salvation is a gift of grace, not something we
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: earn or maintain.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Through our own actions.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: If you read Ephesians chapter two, Versus eight and nine,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you'll see that in the scriptures. So your eternal life,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the gift of eternal life is secure. Why because it's
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: based on God's faithfulness, not our faithfulness. So you could
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: rest and be assured that you are completely forgiven, you
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: are completely loved, and you are accepted by God through
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Jesus our Lord.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I hope that helps out, Amen.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I know that question is big, is huge, Amen, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I took a shot at it at the standpoint of
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: what God says no one is able to do John ten,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Verses twenty eight and twenty nine. Check it out the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: whole chapter for yourself and John ten to see that
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: chapter and how it will work in your life today.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: So thank you so much for hanging out with me.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Man, these times go fast, right the morning hours go fast.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm thankful, thank you for hanging out with me.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Let me send you off for the blessing. God. Bless
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: you all.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Peace,
