Starting Here Starting Now (3 of 8)

The title tonight is Can You Lose Jesus? Can you lose Jesus. You know a lot of people when they get saved are concerned about can I lose what I've got? Can I be saved and then one day be lost again? I believe the Bible teaches unequivocally that you cannot be lost actain after you are once saved. The Bible teaches once saved, always saved. The Bible says, ''Being confident of this very thing that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ''. I love what the black lady said, ''if you don't feel as close to God as you use to feel, guess who moved?''. It's not that we lose God, it's that we move away from God. We can never loose that relationship but we can break that fellow- ship. So the Bible teaches, once saved, always saved. Eternal security is a bibli- cal doctrine. Now that does not mean a license to sin.
That does not mean the concept that because we believe in once saved always saved that we can do anything we want to do anytime we want to do it, live like the devil and still claim to be saved. Friend, if you want to live like the devil, it's a good indication that you did n-ot want to get saved in the first place. You see, I believe in the perseverance of the saints. I believe that those who are saints persevered to the end and those who don't per- severe to the end weren't saints to start with. Now they just missed it.
They joined the church but they didn't Christ, they didn't have that personal commitment to Christ. And the difference in Chrisitianity and in alf other religions is basically two letters. Two letters. And those two letters - ne - those are the two letters because every religion in the world, it's what you do that saves you. It's what you do. But in Christianity, it's what's done in your behalf by Jesus Christ on the cross.
You see all other religions emphasize works. Somehow it's by works that gets you into heaven and anybody that can c ...
