Kevin and I show how these verses teach Eternal Security. Stay tuned for another video that looks at this verse and the double negative in v28.

Who are you trusting for your salvation? The work that God does? Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform (complete) until (in) the day of Jesus Christ:

God has you already seated in the heavenlies in Christ, body, soul and spirit. And He will complete the work He has begun to make you His. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 KJV And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful He that calleth you, who also will do.

What does God accomplish when He saves you? He baptises you in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit indwells you and seals you eternally. He is given as a downpayment by God to guarantee that He will finish the job of saving you.

What does it mean to HAVE eternal life? I argue from logic that it must mean that you live eternally and cannot lose your salvation.

Look at the promises in this verse. John 5:24 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

When God saves you, He starts a process that will not end until you make it to heaven. It is guaranteed. Romans 8:31-39 KJV What shall we then say to these things? If God for us, who against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? God justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? Christ died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In this verse, we see the guarantee of Eternal Security provided by the statement that our life is hidden with Christ in God.

As Paul teaches what God accomplishes in salvation, he points out how MUCH MORE God does in saving us. Romans 5:8-21 KJV But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Peter 5:10 KJV But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you mature (complete), stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. This doesn't prove eternal security, but under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Peter prays for eternal security to occur. Why would he do that unless that is the desire of the Holy Spirit?

1 John 5:4-5 KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Notice the first phrase. Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. According to scripture, Christians are people who have been born again of God. So this phrase GUARANTEES true Christians will overcome the world. WILL, so they can't lose their salvation or hand it back or walk away. They are guaranteed to make it to heaven. What else could it mean?

Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, unto the end of the world. Amen. Unless you think this doesn't apply to Christians for some reason that escapes me, this is a guarantee that even if we try to walk away, it will make no difference as our Good Shepherd will not desert us.

Hebrews 13:5 [Let your] lifestyle [be] without covetousness, content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. The never here is a translation of the double negative "ου μη" but with the addition of "ουδ" which turns it into "never".

Hebrews 12:2 KJV Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. HE is the finisher of our faith. Not us. We don't get to walk away, hand it back, give it up, lose it or anything of the sort.

1 John 5:20 KJV And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Do you know that you are in Him who is eternal life?

John 6:37-40 KJV All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Once you have trusted Jesus Christ, you belong to Him and He will bring the job to completion. He saves all the way!

John 4:14 KJV But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Jesus was offering the woman at the well of Samaria living water that lasts for ever. He said if she drank of it, she would never thirst again. Never. And we don't have to wait until heaven. He's offering it now.

Colossians 2:13 KJV And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he enlivened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; If God has forgiven you ALL trespasses, what sin can you commit to lose your salvation?

John 6:35 KJV And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. "Cometh" is either done and finished, or it hasn't happened. "Coming" can be progressive and partial, but once you've finished then it's done. Once you've come to Jesus (ie trusted Him, given yourself to Him), you're saved for eternity. You can never hunger and never thirst again. You cannot lose your salvation or walk away. He will keep you forever.

1 John 1:9 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God is faithful to His promises that we are already forgiven from the eternal perspective, so to be in right fellowship, we continue to confess our sins and He will remain faithful to His promises. And it would be unjust of Him to hold our sins against us eternally since they already forgiven.

1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively expectation by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Most translations say "hope" instead of "expectation" but the idea of the Greek word is "expectation according to promise". When it's the promise of God, it's something we can be sure of. And notice it also says "kept in the power of God". And "to an inheritance incorruptible and that fadeth not away". We don't keep ourselves saved. God does. If you've been saved, there is not way that can change.

Psalms 139:7-12 KJV Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Even in the Old Testament God teaches Eternal Security. Why should it be less certain for us??

Romans 8:31-39 What shall we then say to these things? If God for us, who against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? God justifieth! 34 Who is he that condemneth? Christ died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We've already looked at verses 38 and 39. Here we focus on vss 31-37 and the abundant love God has. What more could He do that He has not already done? The cross is an amazing expression of the infinite love of God, so how can He not continue to love those He has saved. He's already done so much, how can He not complete the job??

Conditionalists love to use earlier verses in Hebrews 10 and they assume Hebrews 10 is teaching you can lose your salvation. They ignore this verse which proves their interpretation of Hebrews 10 wrong. Hebrews 10:39 KJV But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

John 10:9 KJV I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. What is Jesus claiming here and what does it mean for eternal security and OSAS?

Deuteronomy 32:39 KJV See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand. The word deliver here is the Hebrew word that can mean steal by force or snatch away or seize. It indicates the right or power to do such, but can mean illegitimately using power to steal. The obvious implication is God has the right to keep us and no-one has to power to steal or seize us out of His hand. This is the same idea in John 10.27-29 where none can snatch/pluck/steal/seize our of the Son's hand or the Father's hand. This means that even if you walk away, the devil will never own you. You are always HIS! The only condition is you have to belong to Him. You have to be His sheep. You have to have heard and believed. You have to have come to Him.

Psalm 37:28 KJV For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. Who are the saints of the LORD? How does this verse teach eternal security?

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 KJV I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge; 6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Psalms 23:6 KJV Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 KJV But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil.

2 Timothy 4:18 KJV And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 2:12 KJV If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us: 13 KJV If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Conditionalists love to use v12 to teach you can lose your salvation but they ignore v13 which proves we can't IF we belong to Him.

1 John 5:10 KJV He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 KJV And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 KJV He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 KJV These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. This is one of the clearest passages on Eternal Security and I'm ashamed it's taken me this long.

Matthew 16:25-26 KJV For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mark 8:35-36 KJV For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Luke 9:24-25 KJV For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? Luke 17:33 KJV Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
