  • And welcome again to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:00:15.738 --> 00:00:18.708
  • In my years as a pastor i've been asked a lot of questions,
  • 00:00:18.708 --> 00:00:22.378
  • But one question that repeatedly comes up again and again
  • 00:00:22.378 --> 00:00:25.548
  • Is this one: "how can i know that i'm really saved?"
  • 00:00:25.548 --> 00:00:29.619
  • Some people claim that it's impossible to know for sure
  • 00:00:29.619 --> 00:00:32.622
  • If you're going to heaven when you die,
  • 00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:34.724
  • But gratefully the bible says differently.
  • 00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:37.794
  • Today we're going to discover how we can be certain
  • 00:00:37.794 --> 00:00:40.530
  • Regarding our status before god.

  • 00:01:28.344 --> 00:01:38.121
  • Jeffress: since i started preaching in the book of romans,
  • 00:01:38.121 --> 00:01:40.123
  • I had--have had more than one person say,
  • 00:01:40.123 --> 00:01:42.825
  • "pastor, we've enjoyed the series,
  • 00:01:42.825 --> 00:01:44.727
  • But after some of your teaching we're really beginning
  • 00:01:44.727 --> 00:01:47.897
  • To question our salvation.
  • 00:01:47.897 --> 00:01:50.333
  • We're not sure we're saved, especially after you talked
  • 00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:53.336
  • About romans 6 when paul said how can those who have died
  • 00:01:53.336 --> 00:01:56.773
  • To sin still continue in it."
  • 00:01:56.773 --> 00:01:59.576
  • One person said, "i still find myself in sin.
  • 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:02.045
  • Is that because i'm not really saved?"
  • 00:02:02.045 --> 00:02:04.981
  • How do you know that you're genuinely saved?
  • 00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:08.585
  • Well, that's what we're going to talk about this morning,
  • 00:02:08.585 --> 00:02:11.387
  • How can you know for sure you're eternally secure.
  • 00:02:11.387 --> 00:02:15.925
  • A couple of years ago, a lady in her late 70s wrote to us.
  • 00:02:15.925 --> 00:02:22.298
  • She was a "pathway to victory" watcher,
  • 00:02:22.298 --> 00:02:24.400
  • Viewer in another city, and she said,
  • 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.036
  • "dr. jeffress, when i was 9 years old,
  • 00:02:27.036 --> 00:02:28.938
  • I trusted christ as my savior,
  • 00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:31.474
  • But now that i'm approaching the end of my life i find myself
  • 00:02:31.474 --> 00:02:34.477
  • Waking up in the middle of the night terrified
  • 00:02:34.477 --> 00:02:37.847
  • That if i were to die i would end up in hell.
  • 00:02:37.847 --> 00:02:41.684
  • Is it possible for me to know that i'm really saved?"
  • 00:02:41.684 --> 00:02:45.955
  • For that lady, the question of eternal security
  • 00:02:45.955 --> 00:02:49.659
  • Wasn't just theoretical.
  • 00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:51.561
  • It was critical.
  • 00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:53.896
  • Maybe you, too, are one of those people who are asking
  • 00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:56.532
  • The question, "can i know for sure that i'm really saved?"
  • 00:02:56.532 --> 00:03:01.070
  • A lot of people say today,
  • 00:03:01.070 --> 00:03:02.705
  • "well, i think i'm saved," or, "i hope i'm saved,
  • 00:03:02.705 --> 00:03:05.341
  • But nobody can really know for sure they're saved."
  • 00:03:05.341 --> 00:03:09.012
  • The bible doesn't want us to have that kind of doubt.
  • 00:03:09.012 --> 00:03:12.548
  • Listen to the words of hebrews 10, verse 22.
  • 00:03:12.548 --> 00:03:15.285
  • "let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance
  • 00:03:15.285 --> 00:03:20.423
  • Of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from
  • 00:03:20.423 --> 00:03:24.227
  • An evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."
  • 00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:28.531
  • Or in 2 peter 1, verse 10 the apostle says,
  • 00:03:28.531 --> 00:03:31.167
  • "therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to
  • 00:03:31.167 --> 00:03:34.304
  • Make certain about his calling and his choosing you."
  • 00:03:34.304 --> 00:03:40.076
  • God wants you to be certain that you are saved.
  • 00:03:40.076 --> 00:03:44.914
  • How can you have that assurance?
  • 00:03:44.914 --> 00:03:47.216
  • Well, that's what the book of 1 john is all about.
  • 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:51.120
  • I want you to turn in your bible
  • 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.722
  • To that little new testament epistle almost to the way
  • 00:03:52.722 --> 00:03:56.559
  • Of revelation in your new testament.
  • 00:03:56.559 --> 00:03:59.062
  • Not quite to the maps but it's 1 john;
  • 00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:01.864
  • And we're going to look at 1 john
  • 00:04:01.864 --> 00:04:04.367
  • And what the apostle says about how to be eternally secure,
  • 00:04:04.367 --> 00:04:09.272
  • And today we're going to look at the single greatest verse,
  • 00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:12.775
  • I think, in the bible to know whether or not
  • 00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:16.279
  • You are truly saved.
  • 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.247
  • Now, we have reviewed this verse in the past,
  • 00:04:18.247 --> 00:04:21.317
  • About 5 years ago in a different context.
  • 00:04:21.317 --> 00:04:24.187
  • So for some of you this is going to be a reminder of truth
  • 00:04:24.187 --> 00:04:28.358
  • You have already heard, but think about all of the
  • 00:04:28.358 --> 00:04:30.793
  • New people who have come into our church in the last 5 years.
  • 00:04:30.793 --> 00:04:34.163
  • People from every walk and every belief system imaginable
  • 00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:37.333
  • Are now a part of our congregation, and
  • 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:39.969
  • For some of you this is going to be brand new information.
  • 00:04:39.969 --> 00:04:43.973
  • So whether this is a reminder or new revelation,
  • 00:04:43.973 --> 00:04:47.543
  • I want you to listen very carefully to what the bible says
  • 00:04:47.543 --> 00:04:51.514
  • Is the best way to know whether or not you are eternally secure.
  • 00:04:51.514 --> 00:04:56.919
  • Now, let's admit not everybody who thinks they are saved
  • 00:04:56.919 --> 00:05:00.656
  • Is truly saved, are they?
  • 00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:03.326
  • Jesus said, "on the judgment day many will come to me saying,
  • 00:05:03.326 --> 00:05:06.162
  • 'lord, lord, did we not do this and cast out demons
  • 00:05:06.162 --> 00:05:09.465
  • And prophesy in your name?'
  • 00:05:09.465 --> 00:05:11.000
  • And i will say to them,
  • 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.468
  • 'depart from me, you workers of iniquity,
  • 00:05:12.468 --> 00:05:14.170
  • For i never knew you.'"
  • 00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:16.205
  • One thing people wonder about all the time is,
  • 00:05:16.205 --> 00:05:18.508
  • How is it that people who profess to be christians
  • 00:05:18.508 --> 00:05:21.177
  • End up falling into sin and even abandoning their beliefs?
  • 00:05:21.177 --> 00:05:25.181
  • Did they lose their salvation?
  • 00:05:25.181 --> 00:05:28.117
  • Some of you have friends, some of you have children
  • 00:05:28.117 --> 00:05:31.320
  • And grandchildren who professed christ in an early age
  • 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:34.424
  • And now they are living a lifestyle apart from god.
  • 00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:37.927
  • Some have renounced their beliefs.
  • 00:05:37.927 --> 00:05:41.197
  • Have they lost their salvation?
  • 00:05:41.197 --> 00:05:44.233
  • If that's true in your life, you have somebody
  • 00:05:44.233 --> 00:05:46.536
  • You know who has done that, let me remind you, first of all,
  • 00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:50.573
  • The final chapter in their life story has not yet been revealed.
  • 00:05:50.573 --> 00:05:54.610
  • It's been written, but it hasn't been revealed yet.
  • 00:05:54.610 --> 00:05:56.946
  • You don't know how things are going to turn out.
  • 00:05:56.946 --> 00:05:59.982
  • But the second truth is if they die having rejected
  • 00:05:59.982 --> 00:06:04.921
  • Their faith it's not that they lose their salvation,
  • 00:06:04.921 --> 00:06:08.257
  • It's simply that they never had it to begin with;
  • 00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:11.127
  • And that's what john says in 1 john 2, verse 19.
  • 00:06:11.127 --> 00:06:14.230
  • He says, "they went out from us, but they were not really of us;
  • 00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:18.668
  • For if they had been of us, they would have remained with us;
  • 00:06:18.668 --> 00:06:22.104
  • But they went out, in order that it might be shown
  • 00:06:22.104 --> 00:06:25.374
  • That they are not of us."
  • 00:06:25.374 --> 00:06:28.044
  • So how can you know whether you're a genuine believer?
  • 00:06:28.044 --> 00:06:31.614
  • Turn over to chapter 5, verse 13.
  • 00:06:31.614 --> 00:06:34.517
  • Here is the single greatest verse in the bible to know
  • 00:06:34.517 --> 00:06:38.087
  • Whether or not you are truly saved.
  • 00:06:38.087 --> 00:06:40.356
  • John said, "these things i have written to you who believe
  • 00:06:40.356 --> 00:06:44.927
  • In the name of the son of god,
  • 00:06:44.927 --> 00:06:47.163
  • In order that you may know you have eternal life."
  • 00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:52.835
  • My friend steve lawson wrote a little book called
  • 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:56.038
  • "absolutely sure."
  • 00:06:56.038 --> 00:06:58.040
  • In one of the chapters of that book,
  • 00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.709
  • He talked about the five words or phrases in this verse
  • 00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:02.712
  • That are key to assurance of salvation.
  • 00:07:02.712 --> 00:07:06.215
  • I'd like to take those words and expand on their meaning
  • 00:07:06.215 --> 00:07:09.385
  • This morning.
  • 00:07:09.385 --> 00:07:10.753
  • The first word--critical word in this verse is the word know.
  • 00:07:10.753 --> 00:07:14.891
  • Write it down, k-n-o-w.
  • 00:07:14.891 --> 00:07:17.793
  • "these things i have written to you that you may know
  • 00:07:17.793 --> 00:07:21.764
  • You have eternal life."
  • 00:07:21.764 --> 00:07:24.567
  • You know, in our culture today, anyone who acts like
  • 00:07:24.567 --> 00:07:27.937
  • They know something with absolute certainty
  • 00:07:27.937 --> 00:07:30.873
  • Is written off as being arrogant or prideful.
  • 00:07:30.873 --> 00:07:34.243
  • In our culture it's not popular to say you know anything
  • 00:07:34.243 --> 00:07:36.879
  • For sure, especially about your eternal destiny.
  • 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.017
  • Or to say i know i'm going to heaven;
  • 00:07:41.017 --> 00:07:43.219
  • Well, that is prideful to say you know
  • 00:07:43.219 --> 00:07:45.588
  • That with absolute certainty.
  • 00:07:45.588 --> 00:07:47.423
  • When amy and i were in the ninth grade,
  • 00:07:47.423 --> 00:07:51.694
  • We went to west junior high school in richardson, texas.
  • 00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:55.731
  • And at that point amy was not yet a christian,
  • 00:07:55.731 --> 00:08:00.336
  • But we had a christian teacher in our english class.
  • 00:08:00.336 --> 00:08:03.639
  • In fact, she was a member of this church,
  • 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.575
  • Mrs. madison; and mrs. madison was always looking for ways
  • 00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:09.178
  • To share her faith without getting into trouble.
  • 00:08:09.178 --> 00:08:12.248
  • And so she knew, of course, i was in the class and was
  • 00:08:12.248 --> 00:08:15.084
  • A member of her church.
  • 00:08:15.084 --> 00:08:16.819
  • So we had a little routine worked out where she would ask
  • 00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:19.488
  • A leading question and then i would raise my hand
  • 00:08:19.488 --> 00:08:22.491
  • With the right scriptural answer.
  • 00:08:22.491 --> 00:08:24.694
  • And so, she would say things like,
  • 00:08:24.694 --> 00:08:27.129
  • "do you think anybody can know for sure they're going to heaven
  • 00:08:27.129 --> 00:08:30.166
  • When they die?"
  • 00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:31.500
  • And i'd raise my hand.
  • 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:32.835
  • "oh, mrs. madison.
  • 00:08:32.835 --> 00:08:34.170
  • Yes, you can know, and here's how you can know."
  • 00:08:34.170 --> 00:08:35.838
  • And i'd go through the scripture and so forth.
  • 00:08:35.838 --> 00:08:38.140
  • Well, amy was seated in that class and she wondered,
  • 00:08:38.140 --> 00:08:41.744
  • "who is this arrogant know-it-all who thinks
  • 00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:45.014
  • He knows the answer to every question?"
  • 00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:47.850
  • Forty-four years later she's still asking that same question.
  • 00:08:47.917 --> 00:08:52.855
  • But no, she really says now-- she said she just thought
  • 00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:55.257
  • It was amazing that anybody could say they knew for sure
  • 00:08:55.257 --> 00:08:58.494
  • They were going to be a christian,
  • 00:08:58.494 --> 00:09:00.730
  • And yet the bible says god doesn't want us just to hope.
  • 00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:04.400
  • John says, "i want you to know that you have eternal life."
  • 00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:09.739
  • Why is it some people don't know that they have eternal life?
  • 00:09:09.739 --> 00:09:13.042
  • Let me mention to you four sources of doubt
  • 00:09:13.042 --> 00:09:16.278
  • About salvation, four reasons some of you here are listening
  • 00:09:16.278 --> 00:09:19.482
  • To "pathway to victory," maybe doubting your salvation.
  • 00:09:19.482 --> 00:09:22.952
  • Four sources of doubt.
  • 00:09:22.952 --> 00:09:24.320
  • Number one, conviction by the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.090
  • You know, there are some people who say,
  • 00:09:28.090 --> 00:09:29.859
  • "well, if you're doubting your salvation,
  • 00:09:29.859 --> 00:09:31.661
  • That's because of satan.
  • 00:09:31.661 --> 00:09:32.995
  • He's trying to rob you of your assurance."
  • 00:09:32.995 --> 00:09:34.764
  • Well, sometimes that's true as we'll see in a moment,
  • 00:09:34.764 --> 00:09:37.433
  • But it's not always the truth.
  • 00:09:37.433 --> 00:09:39.902
  • I mean, if you're not a christian,
  • 00:09:39.902 --> 00:09:42.405
  • Do you think satan is going to try to make you doubt
  • 00:09:42.405 --> 00:09:44.907
  • Whether you're a christian?
  • 00:09:44.907 --> 00:09:46.509
  • Do you think he's going to talk to you about your salvation?
  • 00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:48.744
  • No.
  • 00:09:48.744 --> 00:09:50.112
  • He wants you to stay in the dark.
  • 00:09:50.112 --> 00:09:52.148
  • He wants you--to keep you in his kingdom.
  • 00:09:52.148 --> 00:09:54.684
  • It's the holy spirit of god who may be speaking to you
  • 00:09:54.684 --> 00:09:58.888
  • Telling you that all is not right between you and god.
  • 00:09:58.888 --> 00:10:02.158
  • That's the work of the holy spirit.
  • 00:10:02.158 --> 00:10:03.959
  • In john 16, verse 8 jesus said about the spirit,
  • 00:10:03.959 --> 00:10:07.129
  • "and he," the holy spirit, "when he comes he will convict
  • 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:11.367
  • The world concerning sin, and righteousness,
  • 00:10:11.367 --> 00:10:15.271
  • And judgment."
  • 00:10:15.271 --> 00:10:16.906
  • A second source of doubt about salvation
  • 00:10:16.906 --> 00:10:19.008
  • Can be a contradiction in your lifestyle.
  • 00:10:19.008 --> 00:10:22.178
  • When a professing christian is living in a way
  • 00:10:22.178 --> 00:10:26.015
  • That is inconsistent with the commands of jesus christ,
  • 00:10:26.015 --> 00:10:30.119
  • It will cause him to doubt his salvation.
  • 00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:34.123
  • It will cause a dissonance in his life if he professes to be
  • 00:10:34.123 --> 00:10:37.760
  • A follower of christ and yet is not living that way.
  • 00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:40.896
  • Listen to the words of galatians 5, verses 19 to 21.
  • 00:10:40.896 --> 00:10:44.734
  • "now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:
  • 00:10:44.734 --> 00:10:48.304
  • Immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery,
  • 00:10:48.304 --> 00:10:56.078
  • Enmities, strife, jealousy, outburst of anger,
  • 00:10:56.078 --> 00:10:59.815
  • Disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing,
  • 00:10:59.815 --> 00:11:05.187
  • And things like these,
  • 00:11:05.187 --> 00:11:07.323
  • Of which i forewarn you just as i have forewarned you that those
  • 00:11:07.323 --> 00:11:11.193
  • Who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of god."
  • 00:11:11.193 --> 00:11:17.800
  • If you're a christian today and you're practicing these things,
  • 00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:21.504
  • You have a good reason to doubt your salvation,
  • 00:11:21.504 --> 00:11:24.673
  • A very good reason to doubt your salvation.
  • 00:11:24.673 --> 00:11:26.876
  • A third source of doubt about salvation is something
  • 00:11:26.876 --> 00:11:31.514
  • We're going to talk about when we get to romans chapter 9,
  • 00:11:31.514 --> 00:11:34.049
  • And that is confusion about salvation.
  • 00:11:34.049 --> 00:11:37.586
  • You see, many people have a man-centered view of salvation
  • 00:11:37.586 --> 00:11:42.258
  • Rather than a god-centered view of salvation.
  • 00:11:42.258 --> 00:11:45.127
  • Let me explain.
  • 00:11:45.127 --> 00:11:46.695
  • If you believe salvation depends upon you,
  • 00:11:46.695 --> 00:11:50.599
  • That it's what you've done for god you'll start to doubt
  • 00:11:50.599 --> 00:11:53.869
  • Your salvation at some point in time.
  • 00:11:53.869 --> 00:11:56.272
  • If you get the idea that your decision to become a christian
  • 00:11:56.272 --> 00:11:59.675
  • Is all your decision and god had nothing to do with it,
  • 00:11:59.675 --> 00:12:03.779
  • It'll cause you to doubt.
  • 00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:05.581
  • If you think that one day you just awaken and said,
  • 00:12:05.581 --> 00:12:07.616
  • "you know what?
  • 00:12:07.616 --> 00:12:08.951
  • Today i think i'll trust in christ.
  • 00:12:08.951 --> 00:12:10.286
  • Today i think i'll reach up and grab hold of god."
  • 00:12:10.286 --> 00:12:12.021
  • What happens if because of doubt or disobedience you
  • 00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:17.159
  • Let go of god, you lessen your grip on god?
  • 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:20.596
  • Are you lost forever?
  • 00:12:20.596 --> 00:12:22.731
  • Ladies and gentlemen, salvation is not man-centered.
  • 00:12:22.731 --> 00:12:26.936
  • It's god-centered.
  • 00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:28.704
  • Salvation is not what we have done for god;
  • 00:12:28.704 --> 00:12:31.207
  • It's what god has done for us.
  • 00:12:31.207 --> 00:12:33.442
  • Salvation is not a case of our reaching up
  • 00:12:33.442 --> 00:12:35.911
  • And grabbing hold of god.
  • 00:12:35.911 --> 00:12:37.513
  • It is god who took the initiative
  • 00:12:37.513 --> 00:12:39.615
  • And reached down and grabbed hold of us.
  • 00:12:39.615 --> 00:12:41.784
  • In john 10:28 and 29 jesus said,
  • 00:12:41.784 --> 00:12:43.986
  • "i give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish.
  • 00:12:43.986 --> 00:12:47.823
  • No man shall snatch out of my hands those
  • 00:12:47.823 --> 00:12:51.760
  • Whom the father has given me."
  • 00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:54.797
  • God is the one who has saved you.
  • 00:12:54.797 --> 00:12:57.433
  • He is the one who is responsible for keeping you saved,
  • 00:12:57.433 --> 00:13:00.936
  • And only when you have that understanding can you have
  • 00:13:00.936 --> 00:13:04.039
  • True assurance of your faith.
  • 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.575
  • In 1 john 4:10 john says, "herein is love,
  • 00:13:06.575 --> 00:13:09.345
  • Not that we loved god but that god loved us and gave himself
  • 00:13:09.345 --> 00:13:15.184
  • As a propitiation for our sins."
  • 00:13:15.184 --> 00:13:18.520
  • The fourth source of doubt about salvation is the condemnation
  • 00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:22.858
  • Of satan.
  • 00:13:22.858 --> 00:13:24.293
  • If you are truly saved, satan would like to rob you
  • 00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:27.897
  • Of that assurance.
  • 00:13:27.897 --> 00:13:29.798
  • No doubt about it.
  • 00:13:29.798 --> 00:13:31.767
  • Why does he want to rob you of your assurance of salvation?
  • 00:13:31.767 --> 00:13:34.003
  • Because doubt about your salvation will break
  • 00:13:34.003 --> 00:13:37.506
  • Your intimacy with god.
  • 00:13:37.506 --> 00:13:39.875
  • If you're always wondering whether you're saved or not;
  • 00:13:39.875 --> 00:13:42.077
  • That doesn't cause you to follow god more closely,
  • 00:13:42.077 --> 00:13:45.447
  • It causes a separation from god.
  • 00:13:45.447 --> 00:13:47.349
  • Let me explain that to you.
  • 00:13:47.349 --> 00:13:49.818
  • Let's say you're married to somebody perhaps for 50 years
  • 00:13:49.818 --> 00:13:53.555
  • But they're always threatening to leave you,
  • 00:13:53.555 --> 00:13:56.592
  • Always threatening to leave you.
  • 00:13:56.592 --> 00:13:57.993
  • One wrong word, one outburst of anger,
  • 00:13:57.993 --> 00:14:00.496
  • One sock left on the floor unpicked up
  • 00:14:00.496 --> 00:14:02.731
  • And here she's out the door, they threaten.
  • 00:14:02.731 --> 00:14:05.935
  • Now, how intimate and honest could you be
  • 00:14:05.935 --> 00:14:07.937
  • With a mate like that?
  • 00:14:07.937 --> 00:14:09.271
  • You'd be walking on eggshells all the time.
  • 00:14:09.271 --> 00:14:11.240
  • You wouldn't know what the status of your marriage was.
  • 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.943
  • That doesn't produce closeness, intimacy.
  • 00:14:13.943 --> 00:14:16.245
  • It creates a distance.
  • 00:14:16.245 --> 00:14:18.647
  • People who are always doubting their salvation;
  • 00:14:18.647 --> 00:14:21.016
  • In a similar way it doesn't cause them to be close to god,
  • 00:14:21.016 --> 00:14:23.919
  • It causes a fear and uneasiness about god and that's why satan
  • 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:28.791
  • Will love to bombard you with doubts about your salvation.
  • 00:14:28.791 --> 00:14:32.594
  • Remember in ephesians chapter 6 when paul lists
  • 00:14:32.594 --> 00:14:35.297
  • The spiritual armor that we're to put on to withstand
  • 00:14:35.297 --> 00:14:38.400
  • The fiery darts of the evil one,
  • 00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:40.569
  • One of those pieces of equipment is what?
  • 00:14:40.569 --> 00:14:42.604
  • The helmet of salvation.
  • 00:14:42.604 --> 00:14:45.240
  • God wants us to be sure of our salvation so that when
  • 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.478
  • Those fiery darts of doubt come our way we can know for sure
  • 00:14:49.478 --> 00:14:53.949
  • That we really belong to him.
  • 00:14:53.949 --> 00:14:56.085
  • Over and over again 1 john talks about the importance
  • 00:14:56.085 --> 00:14:59.154
  • Of our knowing we are saved.
  • 00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:01.924
  • "these things i have written to you that you may know--"
  • 00:15:01.924 --> 00:15:04.493
  • Just jot down some of these verses.
  • 00:15:04.493 --> 00:15:06.295
  • 1 john 2, verse 5, "but whoever keeps his word,
  • 00:15:06.295 --> 00:15:09.832
  • In him the love of god has truly been perfected.
  • 00:15:09.832 --> 00:15:12.835
  • By this we know that we are in him."
  • 00:15:12.835 --> 00:15:16.805
  • Or 1 john 2, verses 20 and 21:
  • 00:15:16.805 --> 00:15:19.174
  • "but you have an anointing from the holy one, and you all know.
  • 00:15:19.174 --> 00:15:23.712
  • I've not written to you because you do not know the truth,
  • 00:15:23.712 --> 00:15:27.049
  • But because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth."
  • 00:15:27.049 --> 00:15:30.953
  • Or 1 john 4:13: "by this we know that we abide
  • 00:15:30.953 --> 00:15:35.324
  • In him and he in us, because he has given us his spirit."
  • 00:15:35.324 --> 00:15:39.995
  • God doesn't want your eternal destination
  • 00:15:39.995 --> 00:15:42.297
  • To be a question mark.
  • 00:15:42.297 --> 00:15:43.799
  • He wants you to know for sure.
  • 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.802
  • Charles haddon spurgeon, the great baptist minister
  • 00:15:46.802 --> 00:15:49.138
  • Of england, said one time that he was so certain
  • 00:15:49.138 --> 00:15:52.941
  • Of his salvation that he could grab hold of a cornstalk,
  • 00:15:52.941 --> 00:15:55.544
  • Swing over the flames of hell, look the devil straight
  • 00:15:55.544 --> 00:15:58.247
  • In the eye, and say with blessed assurance,
  • 00:15:58.247 --> 00:16:00.315
  • "jesus is mine."
  • 00:16:00.315 --> 00:16:02.051
  • Now, that's the kind of assurance
  • 00:16:02.051 --> 00:16:03.485
  • God wants each of us to have.
  • 00:16:03.485 --> 00:16:05.854
  • "these things have i written that you may know
  • 00:16:05.854 --> 00:16:09.458
  • You have eternal life."
  • 00:16:09.458 --> 00:16:11.160
  • The second keyword in this passage is the word written.
  • 00:16:11.160 --> 00:16:14.496
  • "these things i have written to you."
  • 00:16:14.496 --> 00:16:18.067
  • There's one song, it may be one of your favorites, "he lives".
  • 00:16:18.067 --> 00:16:22.604
  • You know he lives?
  • 00:16:22.604 --> 00:16:23.939
  • "i serve a risen savior. he's in the world today."
  • 00:16:23.939 --> 00:16:26.675
  • I like that song until we get to the last line,
  • 00:16:26.675 --> 00:16:31.513
  • And i just can't stand the last line of that song
  • 00:16:31.513 --> 00:16:35.184
  • 'cause it is terrible theology.
  • 00:16:35.184 --> 00:16:38.020
  • Do you remember the last line of that song?
  • 00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:39.721
  • "you ask me how i know he lives?
  • 00:16:39.721 --> 00:16:44.726
  • He lives within my heart."
  • 00:16:44.726 --> 00:16:50.532
  • Really?
  • 00:16:50.532 --> 00:16:52.367
  • I mean, is that the best evidence that christ
  • 00:16:52.367 --> 00:16:55.270
  • Is alive today, some personal experience or feeling
  • 00:16:55.270 --> 00:16:59.708
  • That i have that he lives within my heart?
  • 00:16:59.708 --> 00:17:02.778
  • Is that the best evidence for the legitimacy
  • 00:17:02.778 --> 00:17:06.215
  • Of the christian faith?
  • 00:17:06.215 --> 00:17:07.850
  • I mean, what happens if i wake up one morning
  • 00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:09.518
  • And i don't feel like he's in my heart?
  • 00:17:09.518 --> 00:17:12.087
  • Has that changed things?
  • 00:17:12.087 --> 00:17:14.123
  • You know, our faith doesn't rest on changing feelings.
  • 00:17:14.123 --> 00:17:18.827
  • It doesn't rest on whether or not we had those warm,
  • 00:17:18.827 --> 00:17:22.131
  • Fuzzy feelings inside.
  • 00:17:22.131 --> 00:17:24.299
  • Our faith rests on the written word of god that never changes,
  • 00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:29.505
  • And that's why he says here, 1 john,
  • 00:17:29.505 --> 00:17:33.041
  • "these things i have written to you."
  • 00:17:33.041 --> 00:17:36.278
  • Our faith does not depend upon subjective feelings
  • 00:17:36.278 --> 00:17:40.115
  • But on the objective truth of the word of god.
  • 00:17:40.115 --> 00:17:43.785
  • Let me show you that in scripture.
  • 00:17:43.785 --> 00:17:45.754
  • I just really saw this again for the first time this week.
  • 00:17:45.754 --> 00:17:49.224
  • Turn over to 2 peter chapter 1, verses 16 to 20.
  • 00:17:49.224 --> 00:17:53.929
  • 2 peter chapter 1.
  • 00:17:53.996 --> 00:17:56.565
  • Now, 2 peter was written by peter.
  • 00:17:56.565 --> 00:18:01.303
  • That was 7 years of seminary right there.
  • 00:18:01.303 --> 00:18:03.872
  • That's how--what i learned.
  • 00:18:03.872 --> 00:18:05.207
  • 2 peter was written by peter.
  • 00:18:05.207 --> 00:18:06.542
  • That follows, doesn't it?
  • 00:18:06.542 --> 00:18:07.876
  • No, no.
  • 00:18:07.876 --> 00:18:09.211
  • Peter, remember, was jesus's apostle.
  • 00:18:09.211 --> 00:18:10.746
  • He was his chief apostle, and 2 peter was written
  • 00:18:10.746 --> 00:18:14.149
  • Toward the end of peter's life as he reflected back
  • 00:18:14.149 --> 00:18:16.885
  • On his christian experience.
  • 00:18:16.885 --> 00:18:18.921
  • But look at what he says in verse 16.
  • 00:18:18.921 --> 00:18:20.822
  • "for we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known
  • 00:18:20.889 --> 00:18:26.395
  • To you the power and coming of our lord jesus christ."
  • 00:18:26.395 --> 00:18:30.098
  • That is, he's saying,
  • 00:18:30.098 --> 00:18:31.500
  • "look, you new christians, understand this.
  • 00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:34.570
  • Peter, james, and john and all of us,
  • 00:18:34.570 --> 00:18:37.105
  • We didn't get in a room together and just concoct some great myth
  • 00:18:37.105 --> 00:18:40.842
  • Or fantasy about jesus christ.
  • 00:18:40.842 --> 00:18:44.213
  • We didn't follow cleverly-devised tales,
  • 00:18:44.213 --> 00:18:46.615
  • But instead we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
  • 00:18:46.615 --> 00:18:50.886
  • For when he," jesus, "received honor and glory from god
  • 00:18:50.886 --> 00:18:54.489
  • The father and such an utterance as this was made to jesus
  • 00:18:54.489 --> 00:18:58.727
  • By the majestic glory: 'this is my beloved son
  • 00:18:58.727 --> 00:19:02.431
  • With whom i'm well-pleased,' we ourselves heard
  • 00:19:02.431 --> 00:19:06.268
  • This utterance made from heaven
  • 00:19:06.268 --> 00:19:08.136
  • When we were with him on the holy mountain."
  • 00:19:08.136 --> 00:19:10.539
  • Do you know what peter's talking about?
  • 00:19:10.539 --> 00:19:11.907
  • He's talking about that experience
  • 00:19:11.907 --> 00:19:13.542
  • On the mount of transfiguration when jesus brought peter,
  • 00:19:13.542 --> 00:19:16.011
  • James, and john with him, the inner circle,
  • 00:19:16.011 --> 00:19:18.247
  • And they caught a glimpse of jesus transfigured,
  • 00:19:18.247 --> 00:19:20.983
  • Changed for an instant into his glorified state.
  • 00:19:20.983 --> 00:19:24.419
  • Peter says, "we saw that.
  • 00:19:24.419 --> 00:19:27.122
  • And not only did we see that happen,
  • 00:19:27.122 --> 00:19:29.057
  • We heard the voice of god the father from heaven saying,
  • 00:19:29.057 --> 00:19:32.127
  • 'this is my beloved son.'"
  • 00:19:32.127 --> 00:19:36.164
  • Can you imagine an experience like that?
  • 00:19:37.899 --> 00:19:41.236
  • Don't you ever wish sometimes,
  • 00:19:41.236 --> 00:19:43.105
  • "boy, if i could just hear the audible voice of god,
  • 00:19:43.105 --> 00:19:46.308
  • If i could just see a miracle, then i would truly,
  • 00:19:46.308 --> 00:19:49.745
  • Truly believe."
  • 00:19:49.745 --> 00:19:51.947
  • Man, what a faith-affirming experience
  • 00:19:51.947 --> 00:19:55.050
  • Hearing the word of god.
  • 00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:58.520
  • But look at what he says in verse 19.
  • 00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:01.123
  • As great as that is, verse 19,
  • 00:20:01.123 --> 00:20:03.325
  • We have the prophetic word made more sure.
  • 00:20:03.325 --> 00:20:08.797
  • That is as faith-affirming as hearing the word of god,
  • 00:20:08.797 --> 00:20:14.436
  • Equally if not more faith-affirming is reading
  • 00:20:14.436 --> 00:20:18.273
  • The written word of god.
  • 00:20:18.273 --> 00:20:20.642
  • How do i know that's what he's talking about?
  • 00:20:20.642 --> 00:20:22.210
  • Look at verse 19.
  • 00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:23.545
  • "we have the prophetic word made more sure,
  • 00:20:23.545 --> 00:20:25.647
  • To which you do well to pay attention as a lamp shining
  • 00:20:25.647 --> 00:20:28.850
  • In a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star
  • 00:20:28.850 --> 00:20:31.687
  • Arises in your hearts."
  • 00:20:31.687 --> 00:20:33.255
  • Verse 20,
  • 00:20:33.255 --> 00:20:34.589
  • "know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture--"
  • 00:20:34.589 --> 00:20:38.527
  • That's what he's talking about here, the written word of god.
  • 00:20:38.527 --> 00:20:41.330
  • "no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own
  • 00:20:41.330 --> 00:20:45.467
  • Interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act
  • 00:20:45.467 --> 00:20:49.571
  • Of human will, but men moved by the holy spirit spoke from god."
  • 00:20:49.571 --> 00:20:56.011
  • Our assurance of salvation is based on the written
  • 00:20:56.078 --> 00:21:00.148
  • Word of god.
  • 00:21:00.148 --> 00:21:01.783
  • It is the best evidence that every promise of god is true
  • 00:21:01.783 --> 00:21:05.020
  • And can be trusted.
  • 00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:08.590
  • Jeffress: if you're concerned whether or not
  • 00:21:12.561 --> 00:21:14.029
  • You're really saved, god doesn't want you to experience
  • 00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:17.666
  • That kind of doubt.
  • 00:21:17.666 --> 00:21:19.368
  • And there's more to cover in the conclusion
  • 00:21:19.368 --> 00:21:21.403
  • Of this important message called "eternally secure"
  • 00:21:21.403 --> 00:21:25.273

  • Male announcer: nearly three decades ago, dr. jeffress prayed
  • 00:22:31.773 --> 00:22:34.509
  • That god would use "pathway to victory" to pierce the darkness
  • 00:22:34.509 --> 00:22:37.679
  • With the light of god's word, and what god has done
  • 00:22:37.679 --> 00:22:40.649

  • 00:24:11.540 --> 00:24:16.244
  • Is so crucial to understanding the confidence
  • 00:24:16.244 --> 00:24:19.347
