What About You?

Episode #4 of Salvation's Source & Security!
This episode will cover personal assurance: how do you know that you are saved for certain? What do you look to for proof of your salvation? Are regret of sin, repentance of sin, confession of sin, good works, and fruit of the Spirit reliable measurements for salvation?
Dig into God's Word with me!

What About Those Verses?

In this episode, verses that can be tricky to grapple with or verses people often hear used to communicate that our salvation can be lost are studied through context & clarity sought about what they are communicating.
 
Verses: Colossians 1:21-23, Hebrews 6:4-6, 1 John 3:6-9, and Revelation 3:5.

Importance & Implications

Does eternally security really matter?
Why is it important?
Depending on where we land on the issue, what is called into question?
In this episode, we'll explore the importance of this doctrine, what the implications are of the doctrine that salvation can be lost and why that contradicts God's Word, and what a person really is relying on (self or Christ) for the assurance of their salvation.
God's character (His faithfulness & His power) and the effectiveness of Christ's sacrifice will be covered. Along with the difference of a believer's condition & position.
Verses to reference for this episode are: Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2, Psalm 147:4-5, Psalm 115:3, Job 42:2, Jeremiah 32:27, Hebrews 10:10, and Hebrews 10:14.

The Conversation & Conclusion

Welcome to the brand new series, Salvation's Source & Security.
In this first episode, we will be introducing this topic of eternal security.
-Is it once saved always saved?
-Can I lose my salvation by not living right?
We also talk about three different perspectives that are prevalent around this discussion.
I will also share where I have landed on this topic because of my study & understanding of God's Word.
I am so glad that you are here! We will cover a lot in these next couple episodes. As always the goal is that we would be pointed back to Scripture to study these things out further.

Episode #6: Sharing the Gospel with Others

In this Gospel Purity series, we have covered a biblical presentation of the Gospel and evaluated different presentations of the Gospel biblically.
Now in this episode, we are going to cover how we can share the Gospel with others in a clear and biblical way!
We will talk about four points that are helpful to include in our evangelism to others, how to include God's Word in our Gospel presentation, to clarify someone is saved through believing apart from any human efforts, and how to distinguish between the method and the substance of our message!
For Scripture references on how to share the Gospel, check out the episode description in from the first episode, A Biblical Presentation of the Gospel.

Episode #5: Make Jesus Lord of Your Life

Have you ever heard someone present the Gospel & say "You need to make Jesus Lord of Your Life!"
Have you ever wondered what they mean by that?
Are obeying Jesus and submitting to Him conditions for salvation?
We are going to answer these questions in this podcast and more. We will also explore Jesus' Lordship in the Bible, the believer's obedience to Jesus as Lord, what is necessary to be saved, the difference between salvation & sanctification, and what is actually meant by making Jesus Lord of our lives.

Where is this word used in the New Testament?
Who is being called to repent and why?

We will evaluate this Gospel presentation from a biblical point of view. We will dig into where we see the word repent or repentance in Scripture, what those words are in the original Hebrew and Greek language, and what their meanings are.
Questions to ponder:
What does God expect from the unbeliever?
What does God expect from the believer?
How much sin does an unbeliever have to turn from in order to be saved?
Is turning from sin a condition for salvation?
What is the difference between salvation and sanctification?
