I’m done arguing for “Once Saved, Always Saved.” Not because I’ve abandoned the doctrine, but because the phrase carries so much baggage that people often end up arguing against a caricature of what we actually believe. So from now on, I’ll call it what it is: gospel assurance Presumption...

I’ve just rewatched this video for a second time now 18 weeks later… This is unbelievably sad. In no way, shape, or form did this Orthodox gentleman explain the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me HAS eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” (John 5:24) Jesus cleanses us of all our sins and brings us from death into eternal life through his death and resurrection, not because we deserve it, but because of the great love with which he loved us. For some, this is hard to understand. “Jesus answered him, ‘What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.’ Peter said to him, ‘You shall never wash my feet.’ Jesus answered him, ‘If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.’” (John 13:7-8) Accept the gift of grace that God has given you in Christ Jesus through his death and resurrection, and you will be cleansed. You can have assurance. He’s offering it to you. ACCEPT IT! BELIEVE! The Christian life is not a selfish pursuit, constantly trying to save yourself or maintain your salvation. The Christian life is a life of assurance, constantly pursuing the salvation of the world. “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.” (John 13:14-15) Jesus lived a perfect life, not to save himself, but to serve and save those who would believe in him. We are now called to follow him in this way of living: a life of sacrificial love, NOT for our own sake, but for the sake of those who are weary and heavy laden. The gospel gives us the CONFIDENCE to do this! I know I am saved. I want you to know that you too can be saved if you believe.

Many Christians believe today that “it’s not Christlike to debate. It’s not Christlike to argue. it’s not Christlike to disagree with people. It’s not Godly to say that marriage cannot be between two men. It’s not Godly to call abortion murder… We must be known for what we are for, not against. We must keep the peace…” And this is why a lot of Christians are weak in apologetics. A lot of Christians are bad at arguing and defending the faith because they have believed that “we must always keep the peace and not voice any disagreements.” But whilst God commands us to not be quarrelsome - He also commands us to “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). In 2 Timothy 1:13 Paul also says “Carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.” In Acts 17, Paul ministered in Thessalonica and it says “he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead… And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul.” 📖 The word for “reasoned” in the Greek is ‘dialegomai’ and it means to ARGUE or to have discourse with one. And whilst arguing can be done in a sinful way, arguing itself is actually a virtue. Without debates and arguments, error abounds. Arguing is a virtue because it helps us hold to what is true - and discard what is false. Arguing is what separates truth from error and wheat from chaff. It’s time for Christians to get in some holy arguments. It’s time for Christians to get in some holy debates. It’s time to guard the precious truth entrusted to you.
