I would say if the authorities didn't want us involved in the public square, they ought not to crucify Jesus in the public square. He's humanistic principle. Well, I would say that. I would say that. I would say that. I would say what's the problem with stardust bumping into stardust? In the cosmic picture? No, there's no problem. In the cosmic picture, it won't matter. No, Mr. President. You are not protecting reproductive freedom. You are authorizing the destruction of freedom for one million little human beings every year. I'm sorry, my friends, but I am tired seeing Jesus presented as a weak beggar. He is a powerful savior and the gospel is not a suggestion. It is a command. Where we're holed, don't you sympathize with that? I sympathize with every single human heart wishing to know the one true and living up. But I believe there's only one way that that can happen through Jesus Christ. And the gospel is about repenting of sin, not celebrating it. Right now, you're in the threshold of an amazing adventure. We will explore the spiritual abyss. You have not experienced this before. You are going to love it. In him, we have obtained an inheritance having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things, according to the counsel of his will. So that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation and believed in him were sealed with a promised Holy Spirit who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it to the praise of his glory.

He has been on an insane debate tour and teaching tour through numerous states over the last month or so, month and a half, debated Catholic answers, best Trent Horn on solo scriptora and purgatory. He's done a number of different debates over the last couple of weeks, one on the atonement. And tonight he is debating in Houston against latent flowers, the provisionist, latent flowers who actually lost the last debate badly. And the reason why I would say it like that is because I think latent flower system is inconsistent. It detracts from the glory of God and the glory of God's grace. I think it is wholly unbiblical when it comes to the nature of man. And so his position needs to be thrown into the dustbin of Christian history. And so Romans chapter... - It's not Romans 9. - It's not Romans 9. Yeah, so go watch the Romans 9 debate. And this is in no way an attempt to be arrogant. We care about the scriptures say, love latent as a brother. I think that his system is doing damage to the gospel of grace in terms of how gracious is God's grace. And so I think his system needs to be exposed for the unbiblical thing that it is. And so Romans chapter 9, his system I think was shown to be inconsistent, not exegetically based and very much man centered. And so Romans 9, I think there's no question latent flowers lost that debate badly. And he needed to lose it badly because we care about what the scriptures say. And tonight they're talking about John 644. And I think the question is, John 644 does it teach unconditional election. I think I have that right. - Oh man. - I'll go check that. - Yeah, I think that's the title. So anyway, let's see here. So what is it? James sent the link to us for tonight. We can announce to everybody where to go on YouTube to go watch it. It's what's the name of the church I'm thinking against. - It's something Lutheran. - Is it 1st Church? - Yeah, you're right. The title's John 644 teach unconditional election. Yeah, it's 1st Lutheran Houston. - Okay. So if you go to YouTube after this. - That's the channel too. - Yeah. Look up the channel 1st Lutheran Houston. You'll see they have the, they have the stream up and ready to go. So you can, you know, go on there, click on it, ring the bell or whatever. So when it goes live, I think it's going live in a couple hours, two hours. - It's 6pm our time. So almost four hours. - Four hours from now. Okay. So it's just be there. Check that out. I think it's an important debate. And it really is a reason I mentioned is because it really has a lot to do with what we're talking about today. We've been doing a series. - Three hours. - Three hours. We've been doing a series defending Calvinism over the course of a couple of months. It's been, it's been, you know, sporadic just because of, you know, things that come up. We need to talk about those instead. And so defending Calvinism today. We're actually on the last part of this discussion where we've fell out the details of what is Calvinism. What are the doctrines of grace? Are they biblical? And so if you're just getting into this discussion, I just want to encourage you to go back and listen at the start of this series. This radio discussion series. Of course we have sermons on this. And there's tons and tons of great works over the centuries defending this from a biblical perspective. But today we are moving our way through that acrostic tulip. Total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. We started the discussion with the sovereignty of God because in reality, that's where you really need to start. That was already assumed in the background of all of that discussion. But if you're just getting into this discussion, we want you to understand that the purpose of this discussion, why even have it, is not to bring unnecessary division within the body of Christ. It's not to just simply firm up your commitments to your click or your crew or your team or your group. It's not even to get you to join our club sort of a thing. It really is, from our perspective, an attempt to defend the glory of God's grace and the true graciousness of grace. How gracious is God's grace. That's the key issue. And so for us, the meaningfulness of this discussion is centered right around that it makes so much of God and Christ, and of course the work of the Holy Spirit, the triune God of Scripture. It makes so much of God and His work and salvation and so much less of man. And of course we believe that it's because it comes just right out of the scriptures. And that's why we're doing this. I have so many men and women that I respect who are not reformed completely and they're thinking, they're not Calvinistic, that I love and I cherish and I know they're brothers and sisters and we're grateful for them. And we know that this is technically an in-house debate to some degree. And I would say to some degree because there's some people who are full-blown or many in the go the other direction that I would say, well you've now abandoned the faith in terms of how you're trying to attain salvation. But generally speaking, this is an in-house debate and that means that we're all brothers and sisters. But it's an in-house debate that has such dramatic consequences on our understanding of the gospel. And then from that point, how do you preach the gospel? And this would be a good point just to bring up turns of consequences. The consequences. So I've seen a lot of discussions lately and we've dealt with this before talking about, well Calvinists can't preach the gospel and we're like, what do you mean can't preach the gospel? Like we believe God uses His church and the means of the gospel to bring His elect to Himself. But they don't preach the gospel. But they don't mean that. What they're saying is that they can't preach the gospel like us. And what they mean by that is these Calvinists can't go out into the world and say, hey Jesus loves you. Jesus died for you. And so they don't even preach the gospel like us. And I'm thinking to myself, that's an important discussion to have. Because I don't see any of the apostles preaching the gospel like that in the Holy Scriptures. Or even Jesus. Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? It's the challenge. It's like Calvinists can't preach the gospel and walk up to somebody and say, hey Jesus loves you and He died for you. And I want to say, wait a second, I think it's in reverse. You have a proclamation of the gospel and a means of getting it out there that doesn't sound anything like Jesus or the apostles. Because you show me in the New Testament where the apostles went into the world preaching the gospel like that. They didn't walk up to random bystanders and say, hey Jesus loves you man. God loves you bro. Jesus died for you. And you know, won't you let Him into your heart? Won't you give Him a chance? Listen, that shows how much tradition has overwhelmed the evangelical church in the West. Because we think, not because of the Bible, but we think because of our tradition and our systems of evangelism that that's how you preach the gospel and these Calvinists over here can't preach it like us. It's like, no, the Calvinists basically want to follow the scriptures on how we preach the gospel like the apostles by proclaiming what Christ did and who He was and then commanding men everywhere to repent and to believe the gospel. It's this general call of repentance and faith in Jesus. Here's who Jesus is. This is what Jesus did. He lived. He died. He rose again from the dead. He's ascended. He's seated and the call was repent. God's going to come back and judge, repent and believe the gospel. It was never this. Hey man, God loves you bro. He loves you so much. Jesus died for you man. It's like, well, you know, that gets to the heart of the matter here, which surrounds the whole issue of the issue of tulip. These are all biblically definitional things in terms of God's grace, man's nature, what the atonement accomplishes, who it was for and how God brings about this salvation. So that's what we're doing today. That's a huge lead in, but I'll be honest, persevere into the saints. I think it's one of the most overwhelming ones. It's like, you almost don't even need to really do a lot of preparation for this because it's like, well, let's just get the list of scriptures out and let's just plot through them. But before we get into that, we have a couple things we want to share with you guys. I got mine on today to you. You got your eye on layer patch. You're still waiting for your box, aren't you? Yeah, you're waiting for yours. We got to call them up and say, get Zach's box. Give it a call. Give it a box. Yeah. So, eyeonlayer.com, we've been telling you a lot about get eye on it. We've been telling you a lot about these guys. Grateful for what they have done. They've created a product for physical wellness that I'm just a huge, huge supporter of. And it has to do with NAD. Go and research the benefits of NAD. And you'll see why for years, I've been looking into this and wanting to do it. You've heard you mentioned that people have been doing it for years through IV treatment, but it is extremely painful to do that. Of course, not just the needle, but the NAD treatment getting into your system. It takes a lot of focus. It's just very difficult. But the benefits for your system are just incredible. Go research it for yourself. They found a way to do a theoretical patch that gets into your system over through over like 10 to 14 hours. You get really high quality NAD. You get a lot of it at just a quarter of the price. I think it was so much less than what is normally paid for an NAD treatment. It's blessed my life. It's blessed my wife's life. And if you want to invest in that in your health and well-being in the future, go to eyeonlayer.com. Type in "apologia" and all caps in the coupon code. You'll get a big discount. And all your support for that goes also to "apologia radio" for all the ministries that we do. And so I just wanted to point you guys to that. And Luke, I'll let you go. Yeah, well, today I wanted to mention some of our tracks that we got here. These little pretty tracks we got that are super awesome and awesome. They're attractive. Very nice looking. That's good. I appreciate that. They're attractive. And yeah, we've been selling a bunch of these and they're super great and awesome. There's the Mormon one. That is the Mormon one. There you go. So this one right here, this is a track for Mormons. Great thing to have on hand when you see Mormon missionaries going through your neighborhood or coming to your door. The Gospel for Mormons track has brought a lot of Latter-day Saints out of Mormons to true saving faith in Jesus Christ. This track has been a blessing to have on hand. Explains the differences between the Mormon gospel and the Mormon God. And gets into how a person can have peace with God. It is a fantastic track to give out to the Mormon missionary or to your Mormon friends and family. We're getting ready for Easter Patrick here. That's right. We hand out thousands of these. So this one here, hope for tomorrow. That's for suicide if you need anybody that's struggling with suicide. Suicide is a really good track. This is Zach. Zachary wrote this one. Don't murder your baby. And we get that out of the mill. You also wrote that one here. That's just a general good news track. What is the good news of God? And then sex conscience in the gospel. We hand out at the strip clubs. So it's a good track on people. All available at Apologia Studios Shop Door. Yeah, it's at the store at Apologia Studios.com. All right. So everybody, we're going to get into the discussion today, persever into the saints. So we started the discussion, of course, with the sovereignty of God because that is really where you need to. That's where Paul puts this discussion. Okay. And so you remember at the beginning of the episode today that I read to you from Ephesians 1. Ephesians is just filled with so much testimony to the grace of God in salvation. And the power of God's grace, the plan of God in salvation. But in Ephesians chapter 1, they're in starting in verse 11. You have that we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him, who works all things according to the counsel of his will. He works all things according to the counsel of his will. It's a very different view of God than is popular today in particular systems of what you open theism, even in systems like Molinism. This is a perspective of God that Paul clearly has. The prophets and apostles all have about God's total sovereignty over all things. It's interesting when he refers to the inheritance that we have in the being predestined. It's because of the one who works all things after the counsel of his will. And then it gets to this really incredible promise that I confess I have to regularly wrangle my heart to get back to. And that is that the promises you were sealed with the promise to Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it to the praise of his glory. There's the purpose of it, to the praise of his glory. So sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, it's a guarantee. It's a guarantee. And when I mention like wrangle my own heart back to it, we're creatures. We're creatures. We have small brains and not a lot of strength some days. And if you're like me and you are very aware of your past sins and what God has delivered you from, you've probably had even as a firm believer and a joyful believer moments where you remember and you reflect on just how much God has saved you from and how awful you've been. And you look at a promise like this and that's it's water for your soul. It brings you back to life again. Because in the end it reminds us as God's people that this is God's plan of salvation. There's nothing that I did. I didn't acquire this. It wasn't me clamoring for God and trying to pull on, you know, pull away up to God in a ladder to God. This is something God did. It was according to his will. He does according to his will in the heavens above and in the earth below. And here you have he works all things according to the counsel of his will. This is his plan. He predestined. He gives the inheritance. He gives the Holy Spirit. Here's what this guarantee is from you have this inheritance, this possession. You are going to acquire it. And why is that? Because you're going to continue to be faithful. Because you're going to just get, you're going to give it all you've got. You're going to be the one that has the strength and the spiritual understanding. You're going to have all the investment you need. Now the answer is this God. He did this. He predestined you to adoption as sons. He's the one that's done this. It's according to the counsel of his will. He's the one accomplishing it. It's the Holy Spirit within you guarantee of this future inheritance and possession of it. And so when you talk about perseverance of the saints, what's amazing, and then I'll kick it to you guys here, is that generally speaking, the evangelical West has been so influenced by the Reformation in terms of even just like a smattering of solo scriptora, even if it's not a really very rigorous understanding of it, like that's God's word. We need to believe that book. Those are his words. Everything's going to come from that book. Well, you can thank a Calvinist for that and the spirit of the Reformation that gave us that, so praise the Lord for that. But the general consensus I think that you would get out of the, you know, at least strong evangelical today is that no, I cannot lose my salvation. God has saved me, Jesus died for me, and he's going to keep me to the end. And it's called eternal security. Eternal security. So people will say that. They'll say, I believe in eternal security that once saved, always saved. And we would say to that, yeah, we believe that once you're saved, you're always saved. We would definitely challenge some of the understanding that people have today about once saved, always saved. Like a lot of IFB people, independent, fundamentalist, separated Baptist will say like once saved, always saved, meaning I can go door knocking. And after 30 seconds of talking to a guy scaring the hell out of him, literally, he prayed a prayer with me. And as long as he he prayed that prayer and it doesn't matter what happens to him after that, like if he never, never desires worship, never desires to read the word, never pursues holiness, doesn't matter, he prayed that prayer like he's safe. Once saved, always saved. We'd say, well, that's not exactly how this works. And I'll count that as winning souls. Winning souls. And so what we would say is, yeah, we believe in eternal security. We believe that once you're saved, you're always saved because we believe in the perseverance of the saints. And that is to say that if God has saved somebody, if he's chosen to save them, Christ has died for their sins and atoned for their sins and the Holy Spirit has regenerated them and brought them to life and he entwels them, you will persevere until the end because it is God who is working in you. It is God's work from the beginning. It's his work throughout it. It's his work to the end. It's all to the praise of his glorious grace. This is God's work. So will you be saved forever if you have true saving faith in Jesus? No question because it is Jesus who says that he gives his sheep eternal life and nothing can snatch them out of his hand. And so that's perseverance of the saints is that God is going to cause you to persevere. You will pursue God. You will pursue holiness. You will be sanctified because you are a new creature. You are a new creation in Jesus. You have been bought with a price. You belong to God. You're entwalled by the Holy Spirit of God. So salvation is not merely sort of God comes and punches a ticket or God and you sort of high five one time on earth here and be like, I'll catch you later. It's a much bigger, more beautiful thing than that. Salvation is real salvation. He really saves his elect. And so perseverance of the saints, God will keep those he saves. I love how you connected regeneration to that with the verse from Ephesians too. Because this is we talked last week about irresistible grace, the effectual calling based on the spirit. If there's one thing that's unfortunate about the letter in the acrostic perseverance, I think we would more desire to call it preservation of the saints. You know, perseverance, like you said, implies that God began this and now it's up to you. Whereas we would say no, what we're emphasizing here when we talk about preservation of the saints is God's power, his grace to finish the work that he started in us. So that doesn't mean that, you know, even after the spirit has regenerated someone that they won't fall into sin, like even serious sin in some cases, but it does mean that no true believer can have a final or a total fall from grace, right? Like the apostle Peter is a great example of that. Like he messes up in a glorious way, abandoning even his Lord. And then he's the one that is restored, strengthened, confirmed and established once again to minister to the church of Jesus Christ in a dramatic fashion. So the core question at the bottom of this, bring it down to a, I mean, bring it right in your kitchen. Okay, how do I know that I will remain a Christian until the end? That's really the question that we're answering with this. How do I know that God's unfailing love for me will never change and that I'm forever secure in his grasp? That's really what we're talking about when it comes to preservation of the of the saints is God's power to save us, God's power to finish what he started in us. And that effectual power that the spirit has now worked in the hearts of God's people. That will overcome the power of sin and death. Sin and death won't have the final say, right? The light shines in the darkness and the darkness will not overcome it. So the one who started a good work will finish it and he will keep us to the end. Yeah, that's great. Glad you brought up that point. I think in that goes back to again to just starting with the S right when God sovereigns even, you know, and so that's an excellent, excellent point the way he worded that I like to use definite redemption sometimes to like as another way to word that. But like you were saying, Jeff, like the majority of the church affirms this point. Like they'll reject the other the other four. I'm a one point. I accept that. I accept his very interesting. Yeah. And I think this is like the one point where like if someone truly holds to like the ability to lose your salvation, like then you start going, we have, we might use him, we have a problem. Like like you have to like those are the people that that start to really veer away from orthodoxy at that point. Like you could almost get the other ones be wrong in the other ones, but you really get this one wrong. Like we there's you're probably often some other cult at that point almost. And there are there are people that, you know, maybe grew up thinking you can lose your salvation. They really don't understand it. And they're just regurgitating what they thought. But people I think that really truly hold to that and argue for that position. Like you're treading your dancing on the line of orthodoxy at that point. So yeah, biblical orthodoxy. And here's the thing, when you talk about tulip where we have tried to make the argument that it's a, it's a biblical line of thought that all of these biblical categories are connected. If you disconnect these points that relate to the atonement, the nature of man, the grace of God and salvation, if you disconnect the points, your system doesn't make any sense because they're all, they all sort of hanging together because they're all part of the biblical flow of thought in soteriology. Soteriology is the doctrine of salvation. Soteriology having to do a salvation. And so the argument is being made that, that the reason this, this has been such a blessing to the church is because when during the time of the Reformation, the issue of the graciousness of God's grace is front and center. And it's, it's, it was, it was that way with Rome and where Rome, Rome fell into apostasy. I agree with Sproul when he talked about Rome as a Christian communion, when they declared war on or rejected the doctrine of justification by faith, they ceased being a legitimate Christian church, no matter how orthodox they are everywhere else. And so of course during the Reformation, this topic was the hot topic. How is a person reconciled to God? How does a person have peace with God? What is the true nature of man before he saved? And then of course you get into the controversy with the followers of Jacob Arminius and there was a lot of time and study and, and work thrown into what happened in the remonstrance, the protest, that general protest. And so if you don't know the history, if I'm talking over right now, cause you're like, I don't understand any of this stuff, just know that this discussion of the grace of God and salvation is an important one. And I believe what had took place during the time of the Reformation was a blessing to the church because it brought so much light out of the scriptures into all of these other areas where we diminish the glory of God and salvation. We make much of man. We make less of God and that is not only unbiblical and wrong to do in terms of the glory of God and what's at stake, but it's also practically speaking and in our circumstances so destructive. Because I'm speaking for a pastoral perspective here, not just my own personal perspective of wrestling with my own sin, wrestling with my own deficiencies and my own weaknesses over the many years of being a Christian, but past orally speaking, if you take this whole story of redemption and salvation and you, you put it into the hands of the sinner and say, well, really in essence, this is kind of also you. It's about your own cooperation. It's about what you've done and it's about you participating in it. Yeah, Jesus did all these things, but in the end, like it's, it's really the balls in your court, my friend. And so if you do that, I can just tell you as pastorally that doesn't heal people. It doesn't bring a person out of a pit and I'm not saying you, you, you, you share these truths because I really want to pull a person out of a pit. I'm saying practically speaking, I've seen the word of God in its, in its clarity, sufficiency and simplicity heal people from depression and misery and fear over the future and anxiety and, and, and bless people with the joy of God's salvation. And I think man-centered systems, practically speaking, destroy all that. So I'm saying this has theological implications and it has practical implications for your life here and for the life of the church. And so don't walk God of his glory assurance in particular. That's what I mean. Yeah. I'm gonna say Rome's such a great example too, because obviously in Roman Catholicism, you earn your way. Right. That's your role in salvation is you got to earn that. But you also got mortal sins and you, you know, you can just as easily not earn your way to, to salvation and be damned forever because of those sins. Yeah, sacramental system that you're constantly in this hamster will of the sacramental system. You, you don't know that you have peace with God. I mean, you can go from peace with God to rebellion and war with God on between 10 and 10 30 a.m. You don't know that you have peace with him. You've got, of course, the added into there, the doctrine of purgatory, which apparently modern a Roman Catholics don't aren't really exactly sure about how that works. Listen to the trend horn debate with James White, it's, it's, it's a stunning, a stunning difference between old school Catholics and the new modern Roman Catholic apologists in terms of purgatory and things like that. But in the end, yeah, it's a, it's a system that's just this constant rotation of peace with God. No peace with God. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. And that, the, the acknowledge that God has grace. Jesus died for sinners. But the ball is in your court. I mean, it really has to do with your cooperation, your obedience, not the work of God in salvation and saving his elect. And so this has so many implications, but let's get to, um, let's just, I mean, I think, what, what, unless you wanted to say something, what I'd be able, I, I'd like to set up a little question. I don't want to get too far in the weeds with it before we jump to the verses, but I want to set this up by saying there are true believers, there are those who are regenerate. And then the Bible speaks of false professors. So these are people that have the outward appearance of godliness and religion, but inwardly their hearts are far from God. Um, you know, they went out from us because they were not actually of us, right? They weren't true believers. They weren't regenerate, blood bought, uh, believers. And that was evidenced in the end by their works, right, by their life. So I think the question I have here is, and hopefully this will help people that are thinking through this. When we talk about perseverance of the saints, you're talking about people never being lost. Right. Like God always holding onto them. So what do we do with that in light of the conditional statements that we see in scripture about if you obey or if you obey my commandments, then you're my disciples or the warning passages, for example, in Hebrew six that talk about, you know, people seemingly, oh, when I read that seems like people fall away. I know there's a way to understand that passage, um, but I'm just curious. How do we help people think through? How do you understand? Well, are you saying then that this warning, it's no big deal for me as a believer. I shouldn't take it seriously because God knows I'll never be lost. Yeah. So there are definitely warning passages really all throughout. And you know, you can look at warning passages from Hebrews. You can look at warning passages or passages that, that really illustrate, uh, that there is such a thing as a false profession of faith. There is a living faith. There's a dead faith. Like in James chapter two, there's warnings against those things. There's warnings against people who would profess to believe, but then have no works. Like they're, that's legitimate. Like we're not saying like, oh, you just say you believe your fire. You're good. No, it's true. Save and faith that saves. And so there are, there are clear warning passages that are given generally out in different context. So like the book of Hebrews, you've got warning passages coming that are coming in a specific context of people who have the temptation to go back to temple, back to sacrifices, back to that old priesthood, all that stuff. There's warnings there. Like you do that. You're trampling Christ underfoot, all that stuff. There's specific warnings there. And like I said, Jay, let's just take those two examples. James two, you have pretty much a very serious warning there against people who have a said faith, a profession of faith, but they don't have a living faith. And they think that that profession of faith is going to save them. And no, James is like, no, living faith is a real faith that produces works. And here's my examples. Father Abraham demonstrates this this way. And so what we would say is that when it comes to this issue, we take the warning passages seriously, but the warning passages always have a context to them, like in the context of Hebrews, but there's always this assumption clearly through out scripture and even within the warning passages that you're talking about people who truly don't believe. They have a said faith, a fake faith. And the warning is there, you go back, you abandon Christ. Here are the consequences. And like Zach brings up, it's one of the best examples you could possibly give because it is so clear and sharp. They went out from us in order to show they were never really of us. They can't get around that, right? That's not, that's not saying it. That's not an affirmation. Ah, this person was really saved. They really know God. They were in dwell with all the spirit of God and they got lost. They didn't, they couldn't hack it. They weren't obedient enough. Like what they fell, whatever the case may be is they went out to show it that you were never really of us. Or when Jesus says many people will come to me on the day and say, Lord, Lord, didn't we cast out demons in your name, didn't we do this in your name? And people have tried to use that passage to say like, Oh, see, they lost their salvation. It literally says, depart from me. I never, never knew you, never, there was never a relationship between Jesus and these people that he says depart. There's no relationship. He's not lying to them. He's not faking saying, Oh, we really were, but I didn't know you. No, he says, depart from me. I never knew you. Never. There's never a relationship there. He's not saying depart from me to people who he actually knew because the people that he knows are the people that he foreknows, he chooses to enter into intimate relationship with John Roman chapter eight, those whom he foreknew he predestined. And so this whole, this whole discussion again, rests every time firmly on God himself and his sovereignty and his courses, Providence and history to save his elect. And we take the warning passages seriously in scripture. And I have to, I have to just say this bluntly, I give warning passages as, as often as I, I give warning, I give warnings as a pastor, as often as I can from the pulpit at apology at church. I warn people, I think when I was fairly regularly, I agree that, you know, that there's people in this room that think that they're Christians and you don't truly believe in Christ. You love the Christian context. You love the Christian culture. You feel safe here. You love this. I mean, seriously, being a part of a body of Christ, a faithful body of Christ is awesome. You have people that love you will serve you with the like jump when you have pain or you need something. People have like, we have like meal trains happening 24 hours a day at apology at church. Like someone's hurting. Just from the babies. You got five, you got five weeks of meals. You're going to have families delivering your meals for five weeks. Someone's cars broken down who can fix cars in our church. Let's get them on that. How can we get your car to this place? Can we pay for this? Can we pay for your rent? It's nice to be in a Christian community. It's wonderful. But sometimes maybe people like the Christian community, not because they really believe in Jesus, but because they love this loving place. And I've seen it. I have seen apostasy, Pastor Luke and I have been pastoring apology at church since the very beginning. I planted the church. I ordained Pastor Luke as the next fellow, a fellow elder, and he's been there since he's been there since day one, we've been doing this from the very, very start. And I, we can tell you stories, horrible stories that break my heart and break our hearts of people who are with us. And then they finally, after a while, you can't be a part of a, of a body of Christ that is consistently preaching God's word, just testifying to God's holiness, testifying to the authority of God, calling people to repentance, calling people to holiness. You can't fake it in a church like that law for very long. So we usually see, we've seen, this is just sort of, this is that, well, I'm not saying this is, this is how long it takes. I'm saying that in my experience generally at a faithful church, someone may love the community, profess the faith, look outwardly outwardly like a believer for, I'd say, about two to three years is what I've seen about two to three years is about how long it takes. So I could think of people, like for example, a guy that was with us from the very beginning, it took about two to three years, he came out of a homosexual lifestyle, he actually had HIV as a result of it. He looked on all on the outside like he was a believer. And after about two or three years, he started to not come to church, started to disappear. Then he came to us one day saying, I needed to talk and he looked like his soul was gone. He looked like he was literally the walking dead. And he told us that he loved his sin with other men more than he loved Jesus. And he never really trusted in Jesus, never really did believe in Jesus. And he wanted to go back to his homosexual lifestyle. And it just took a little while. And we had other people, I could think of a female that was with us for two or three years, looked very much like a believer on the outside. And then she's abandoned Christ and today she lives as a man. And yeah, that's the truth. I can repeat that story where people have been among us profess the faith and eventually you go, oh, he would never really love us. And it was obvious. And most of the time I could tell you, when I've had conversations with these people, they've said as much, I never really believed this. Like I never, I never really believed in Christ. I got a guy telling me once he was, he was caught for some sexual sin and just practicing sexual sin. And so we brought him together to talk to him, call him repentant, so hopefully help him. And he just told us bluntly, he said that he loved having sex with girls more than he loved Jesus. And he loved pornography more than he loved Jesus. He just said it bluntly, which I appreciated the honesty. Yeah. I mean, that's helpful to hear that. And so did the fake, you know, I'm struggling with anything. You know, when you're really not, you just, you really want to leave. So you would say that warning people, warning in particular, the people, the gathered assembly is twofold in its effect. For the believers, it's the means that God uses to help them persevere because the true believers will. Yeah. But for those that don't know Christ, that aren't regenerate, it acts as judgment and condemnation upon them. Ultimately. Yeah. And the regular call to follow Paul's lead, examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith that needs to come out that what's a warning, right? That's a warning to people to say, Hey, look, don't don't just recognize it's fallen world. You might like these stories, you might like the idea of a savior, but has, have you repented and turned to him as your savior and lord? Or are you just in love with the Christian context, the Christian culture, the Christian community? You just love this stuff because it's nice. There's some dark places in this world and there's some rough people. And so when you go from like the rough people, the dark place to like this, you know, Christian community where there's love and there's sacrifice and there's service and there's hospitality and there's giving and graciousness, you go, I like this better than I like the rough area. Things that aren't common in town world, but it doesn't mean that you believe in Jesus. You just love, you just like his people. They're nice. They're great. Christians aren't perfect people, but Christians are the best people in the world. And it was, I didn't make that up. That was Tozer that said that. And I remember that from the first time I heard it because it's really helped me too to remember those two important things, the best people, not perfect people. So anyway, I figured what we do for the last part here is as we've explained some of these things, let's just start plotting through a bunch of texts for sure. Let's just do it. Yeah, I was just going to say before I lose this thought was just that's why Jesus gave the parable of the soils in Matthew 13, like, yeah, it's there's different levels of growth than it's perfect for what you were just saying talking about, like there's different levels of growth, but only the last one with the soil, the water is like that's the only one that's truly regenerated, and you know, because people that wanted to deny perseverance of the things are like, well, look, these people, you know, lost or so, you're like, no, read it again. No. Some good soil. Yeah. So that's, that's a perfect. Then I'm thankful to Jesus for giving that parable. Thank you for those parables. Jesus, they're really helpful here because then it explains the, you know, the complaints against this position. Right. And it's exactly. And I went through the parables myself in one of our sermon series. I think it was, yeah, on Matthew, there's good soil. And to, in order to get good soil, it takes some preparation ahead of time. You got to, you got to work that ground. And so it's something that God does and that seed gets in there and then it gets in bears fruit, some 30, 60, 100 fold. And then sometimes it looks like it is real and then it gets scorched and sometimes it gets snatched away. But only, only one of them actually gets into good soil and bears fruit. But also that, let's just notice, I think it's important that the one that gets in good soil grows up and bears fruit. That's the expectation of real salvation and good soil is that it actually grows up and it actually bears fruit. And that is the, the description of the person who's truly in Christ, the person who's truly saved. So, you know, honestly, this one could go for days. Yeah. So many, but I, we wanted to at least give you like some, some big chunks and anchors to set in. And of course, we couldn't help but start with where the debate's going to be landing tonight between Dr. White and Professor Flowers. And that's John chapter six. We've already done it a bunch in this series because it's the words of the Lord Jesus. I think we all need to listen to. Here's what Jesus says in John, um, six thirty five, Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. Okay. Stop. Is that true? That's what I want to ask myself when I read something like that. Do I believe what Jesus said there? Jesus says the person who comes to him will not hunger and whoever believes in him will never thirst. All right. So let's say somebody comes to Jesus. They believe in Jesus. They really do. And then they end up being hungry and thirsty. Is Jesus a liar? Yeah. He'd be a liar because the promise there is that they will not hunger will never thirst for those who truly believe, for those who believe in him. Okay. So that's where the anchor is. Perseverance of the saints is right there. I'm never going to hunger. I'm never going to thirst because Jesus says, if I come to him, if I believe in him, I never will and God cannot lie. So I'm saying that like when you deny perseverance of the saints, when you deny that God keeps those whom he saves, you are in some sense starting to strike away and chip away at the incarnation itself because you're saying, no, they can be hungry and they can thirst. And I'm saying, no, God cannot lie. This is a problem. This is a promise from God himself. He says this, but I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe, he's talking to people who've seen him. They look like believers. They don't believe. And he answers their unbelief. He says, all that the father gives me will come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will never, I will never, I will never cast out, okay? Never hunger, never thirst, never be casted out. Where, where do we get the idea that though you can truly come to Jesus, believe in him and that will actually be cast out, hungry and thirsty? Where do we get that idea? It's not from the words of Jesus because I want to say, I want to believe what he's says. I want to, I want to take it seriously. I don't want to deny his word. I don't want to detract from it. And so when Jesus says, come to me, never hungry, never thirsty, I'll never cast you out. I want to believe that. And when you, when you go, well, I affirm that, but that but is a very big but, right? It is because it is destructive to everything. Jesus says here. I didn't mean that. I'm a big but. I'm not like that. I mean, for that to come out like that, but it did. So here we go. He then says, all that the father gives me will come to me and whoever comes to me, I'll never cast out for I've come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me there. But raise it up on the last day. There are a people given to Jesus by the father that he says he will lose none of them. He will raise them up. And this is what's important here. I said, we already said this bunch of times from the very beginning, we started a series talking about the sovereign day of God. God is sovereign. He rules over all. He's the all powerful one. He's accomplishing his purposes. He does according to his will, all that the law, he does all that he pleases. Well, look, here's what he says. For this is the will of my father that everyone who looks on the sun and believes in him should have eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day eternal life is eternal life. Yours to lose. I guess that would be the question. It's a forever life, right? Forever life. It is a the father's will. He loses none. It's eternal life. I will raise you up. There's just I look, there's no way out of that. And that's, you know, why are you a Calvinist, Pastor Jeff? Well, for a number of reasons, but I really want to believe John six. That's, that's it. I mean, my first, you guys are here to say a bunch of times. My first Bible reading was in the gospel of John over and over and over and over and over. And I think that was a real blessing, uh, in my experience because I already believed all this stuff before I even knew about what Calvinism were, Arminism or provisionism or whatever is. And I just said, that's my savior and he says that's what he's going to do. I believe that. And I've always had that anchor since the beginning of my faith in Jesus is that this is what God is going to do for me. Um, so in John, that's John six. Did you want to? I was just going to say there's, there's no way out of that chapter without dancing a theological jig, you know, and tonight in the debate, there's going to be a lot of ballroom dancing going on. I'm going to say that ballroom dancing is going to be a lot of dancing. Um, now you, uh, I mean, go to the old Testament here, speaking of the new covenant, um, Jeremiah 32 verse 40, I will make with them an everlasting covenant that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts that they may not turn for me. So the power of the new covenant is such that God's spirit is going to take up residence within the hearts of his people to what end. Well, the fear of him is going to be put in their hearts, true believers, that they may not turn away. So God's going to ensure that that's going to happen promise of the new covenant. I also like the one you brought up in Ephesians as a great one being sealed by the Holy spirit for what for the inheritance that we have, which Peter also tells us in first Peter chapter one, blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to his great mercy, mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. So this is the resurrection power of the spirit that's alive in every believer to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfading, kept in heaven for you who by God's power, whose power God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. I like how some English translations translate that appropriately as reserved in heaven for you. I like you. I like we like those reservations. I got a reservation. Yeah. I'm supposed to be here. I got a reservation. You got my name down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to read a book of life. That's right. No less. Hey, I'm here for my reservation. Oh, yeah, your name's down here. We got your reservations. Come on in. Right. Yeah. Captain heaven for you reserved in heaven for you. Yeah. It's powerful. And John chapter 10, we've already done some of John 10 in the course of this discussion in the series talking about the atonement itself, Christ laying his life down for his sheep. But just notice, notice some of the things that Jesus says here about his sheep. He talks about him being the good shepherd and he says this in John 10, 14, he says, I'm the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me. All right. So that's specificity. That's not some general ideas, some nebulous, you know, group of people. That's a very specific. I know who are mine and they know me by the way, this is John 10. That is right after John six. Right. It's behind it. And in John six, Jesus says, the father has given me a people. So now he says here, I know who my sheep are and then who I am. And then he says this, he says, just as the father knows me and I know the father and I lay down my life for the sheep and I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also and they will listen to my voice, not, I hope they will. Maybe they will. Listen to my voice, so there will be one flock, one shepherd for this reason, the father loves me because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down. I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my father. And of course it goes down into John chapter 10, 22. This is where it gets beautiful, I think, is when Jesus is then confronting their, their, unbelief in verse 24, the Jews gathered around him and said to him, how long will you keep us in suspense if you are the Messiah, tell us plainly? I love this answer. Jesus answered them. I told you, right, though, tell us if you're the Messiah. I did. And he says, and you do not believe the works that I do in my father's name bear witness about me, but you, this is powerful, do not believe because you are not among my sheep. Because he already said, I know who my sheep are and they know me, I will bring them. And then here he says, you don't believe because you're not, you're not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life and they will never perish and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My father who has given them to me is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the father's hand. I and the father are one. I believe that. I believe that. So what was the Bible teach perseverance of the saints? Well, right there, there's two places that are very powerful places. And I think places that make this relationship with Jesus so unbelievably beautiful and powerful. And I'll just confess that's the anchor of my life, my soul right there. Life is hard. Life is horrible. It's sinful and rotten at times. And there's my anchors. I hang there a lot. That's where God has brought me to a great place of peace and joy in my life is. I know that this is his work. It's his doing. It's because of his love. It's because of his grace. It's because of his mercy. And I'm only going to hang in there to the end because he's done this and he promises he's going to complete it. I have a reservation. I got a reservation for me. I'm sorry. I'm using that. I love the passage about the sheep and hearing his voice and obviously Jesus is a good shepherd. And if you really dig into the historical meaning of what Christ was saying, it was like the shepherds literally lived with the sheep. They were literally the door into the sheep fold and the sheep knew the shepherd's voice. And so if there was another lamb that wandered into the fold that wasn't of that shepherds wasn't one of the shepherd's flock, they wouldn't recognize his voice and they're not going to follow him or to go if there's a goat or whatever, they don't know his voice. I love that. If you really dig into that, just the picture that gives us of God's work and salvation. It goes back to the seal that you read in Ephesians, a seal of redemption. There's a reason there's a seal on them. It's a seal of ownership. And Romans 11 talks about the grace of God in the gospel saying the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Romans 11-29. It can't be taken away. Yeah. That's what irrevocable means. The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. Irrevocable can't be taken away. Yeah. I mean, if we have a few minutes, there's a couple more if we want to read it or whatever. We got a few minutes. Let's do it. I mean, let's do a couple. Philippians 1-6. I'll throw one out. Go ahead. He, he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 1-12, "But I am not ashamed for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me." Jude 1-24, now to him who was able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy. 1 Thessalonians 5-23, "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, he will surely do it." Do we do Ephesians 4-30 yet? No. Okay. Ephesians 4-30, "And do not grieve," speaking to the people of God, "do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." One that everybody is familiar with, Romans 8-35, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ, shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword. As it is written for your sake, we are being killed all the day long, we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered, no. In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us, for I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God and Christ Jesus our Lord." Are we done? Are we done? I think we're done. No, we're done. We can keep going, but yeah. That verse is like a word where it's like, just in case you're wondering if there was anything. That could separate you. He's like, "What?" He's like, "What things could people say could separate?" He's like, "Not this, not this, not this, not this, not this." Yeah. I think it just speaks to the glory of Jesus' intercession for His people too. Like here in the book of Hebrews, He's able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him because He always lives to make intercession for Him. How certain is your salvation Jesus would have to die again and He's not going to do that and He's never going to fail to intercede for you before the Father, everything that He did on the cross is going to be true for you now and throughout eternity. Come whatever circumstances in your life. Then what you just said was essentially an explication of the thought of Hebrews 7.25. Consequently, He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him since He always lives to make intercession for them. That's the promise. You have an atonement, it's a perfect atonement, able to save to the uttermost, He always lives to make intercession for us. He intercedes with His work before the Father, for the people of God. This is why it can't be something that actually fails because it's a plan of the Father accomplished by the Son, applied by the Holy Spirit of God. This is the work of the triune God of Scripture. In the end, and you brought this up the last time in the book, and you brought this up to Scripture, in the end, and you brought this up the last discussion, and this is important in important elements, we're talking about what is biblical in Christian orthodoxy here, what is most consistent, is that when we talk with the doctrines of grace, you're talking about the consistent perspective of how the triune God saves, because you could have people that deny certain elements of it, where you have the Father wanting to save, Jesus trying to save, and the Holy Spirit failing to save, right? And so you've got this disconnected work, and this is the whole point you were making, the disconnected work there between the persons of the Trinity is, in some sense, somebody could say, "Well, yeah, like the Father wanted to save them, Jesus died for them," but they ended up being lost, because they didn't cooperate in some way. Impossible. Right, exactly. It doesn't work that way, and so that's the point, is that the doctrines of grace guard against Trinitarian error in God's glorious plan of redemption, because it's just a consistent story. The Father gave a people to Jesus, he chose us in Christ for the foundation of the world, Jesus comes, sacrifices his life, gives his life and death and the resurrection for the people of God, he accomplishes that redemption, it's a finished sacrifice, the Holy Spirit of God comes, regenerates, and dwells God's people, and he keeps them till the end. It's this perfect unity in the Trinity, and it's not conjured up some way, it's just, but that's what the text says, that's what God says he's doing there, but why do we get tripped up? Why all these other systems? And in the end, I think it's because we have traditions that come, you know, that fly against the face of the text and their cherished traditions maybe, like, "Well, I don't like to preach the gospel like that. I don't like to walk up to a random stranger on the street and say, "Hey man, Jesus loves you, man, he died for your sins, won't you let him into your hearts?" That's how I've always preached the gospel. I can't do that anymore. It's like maybe you should examine the methodology that you've adopted for evangelism. You took the wrong course, throw it away, and I'm not saying take the course of Apologia, like, you know, we've created this, I'm saying, just read Acts. Just read Acts. Yeah. Read how they preach the gospel. They didn't preach it like that. They would proclaim the work of Jesus. Here's who he was. Here's what Jesus did. He died. He rose again. And then there was a call. Repent and believe. Come to Christ for the forgiveness of sins. The call goes out generally to turn from sin to believe in Jesus. But you don't ever see the apostles walking up to a random person and saying, "Oh, God loves you all so much. And Jesus, I love you and died for your sins, everybody. Don't you want to just be here?" Everyone, just, every eye, every eye, close every head down. I see that hand in the back. Okay, everyone. Yeah, I see that hand. Everyone, I want you to pray this prayer with me. You don't see it. It's not in the Bible, and you may love it. And I will confess, I loved it. And I was always looking. Every time it was every head bowed, every eye closed, I was looking around and saying, "Who needs to get saved?" Oh. Who I saw her raise her hand last week. Who needs to get saved? She's always raising her hand. But this is, but this is honestly the crazy thing to me. I know we're being, we're joking here a little bit, but everywhere the apostles went, there was a public disturbance, a riot, a mob formed, people taking oaths and vows to kill Paul before the days out, not to eat again, before they take his life. When has the gospel of Jesus loves you, won't you let him into your heart, resulted in a riot or a mob or a public disturbance? She generally doesn't. Never heard any example of that happening. No. No, not one. No. Yeah. If the gospel is going out, this is the work of Christ, he commands all men everywhere to repent. Yeah. That's the kind of gospel. Jesus is king overseaser. That's right. That's the gospel that leads to insurrection. Trouble. Yeah. Trouble for sure. I think we got a bunch of superchants. Do we really? Okay. Let me turn, uh, okay. All right. So thank you everybody for listening today. Let's get through our super chats today. We are going to do more on this. We told, we told you that we are also going to do a particular show where we go through um, uh, chestnut arguments against reform, faith and Calvinism arguments against the doctrines of grace. We do want to do that as well, but we wanted at least present the positive case from the scriptures here. Judoka. Hey, Judoka. I know what that means. 512, uh, greetings, brothers. Could you please explain to me John three, 16 from a Calvinist and limited atonement point of view. I always get tripped up there. Thank you for that. Judoka, uh, has to do with a judo practitioner. Um, so first of all, John three, 16, uh, I want to, uh, encourage you to look on YouTube because pastor James has done some fine, fine work here, just explaining to everybody. Here's what the text says. We've, we've received this in such a traditional context and used it in such a traditional traditional context. Often times you miss what the text is actually even saying. This is a promise to believers, right? For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son so that every believing one, whosoever believes every believing one would have eternal life, but people say, well, the world he so loves the world. Yes, the world is what was promised to the Messiah, Jews, Gentiles, people from every tribe, tongue, people and language. They were all coming. That was the promise that all of the nations who stream up to the mountain of God. And so the world does not mean every single person who's ever lived. Uh, the text there is making a promise about what God said he was going to do with the Messiah's kingdom. It was going to be not just Jews, but Gentiles also the world, all the nation's tribes, Rede no 713 through 14. Just because the world world, the word world is used doesn't mean it refers to every single individual like, for example, in John's gospel where they say, look, the whole world is following him. Was every single person in the entire world following Jesus at that moment? So it doesn't, it can, it can be in a general sense. Um, however, the text is just a promise to God's people. Every believing one will have eternal life. Every believing one will have eternal life. That's what the text says. And so, um, so I hope that answers it.
