ETERNAL
IN-SECURITY
A FALSE DOCTRINE
John 10:25-30
One who does not believe in "eternal security" is doomed to live in "eternal insecurity." What sin can a Christian commit that would cause God to forsake him? And if a Christian could become lost on this earth, what is to say that he will not one day become lost in Heaven?
Eternal security is a Biblical truth, as evidenced in the following:
If a saved person could become lost:
I. GOD WOULD DEFY HIS OWN PRECEPTS (1 Pet. 1:23)
1. The Typology of the Word
A. His Children (John 1:12 1John 3:1)
B. His Sheep (Mat 18:12 John 10:2-4)
C. The Ark (1 Pet. 3:18-20 Heb. 11:7)
2. The Theology of the Word
A. Our Salvation -A Birth (Jn 3:1-16)
B. Our Standing -A Bride (Eph. 5:21-26)
C. Our Security -A Body (I Cor. 12:12-14)
II. GOD WOULD DENY HIS OWN POWER (1 Tim. 1:12)
1. His Saving Plan (Eph 2:8-9)
A. Grace Delivered
B. Greatness Displayed
2. His Securing Power (Rom. 8:35-39)
A. His Faithfulness
B. His Fatherhood
III. GOD WOULD DESTROY HIS OWN PROMISES (John 3:16 5:24)
1. Of Life Unending
A. The Shepherd of the Sheep (Mat 18:11-13)
B. The Sovereign of the Universe (Jn. 10:28-30)
2. Of Love Undying
A. His Compassion would be False (John 15:9)
B. His Comfort would be False (2 Cor 1:3)
IV. GOD WOULD DELUDE HIS OWN PEOPLE (Heb. 13:5)
1. The Rest Given (Heb. 4:13)
2. The Reserved Inheritance (Heb. 9:11-15)
