Download or read book Believers Eternal Security written by Oppong Kyekyeku and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you understand the concept of eternal salvation through Christ Jesus? Can a believer lose his or her everlasting salvation given by God due to circumstance? Are you afraid of losing your eternal salvation of grace through faith in Jesus since you believed? Is there anything you can do to secure your everlasting salvation without losing it? The answers to these questions and beyond are what this book is all about. Believers’ eternal security is only based on eternal salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, which guarantees our freedom in Christ because of the grace pertaining to salvation we cannot lose. But regrettably, many believers are still under oppression of fear for uncertainty of their eternal salvation. They believed that they must hire security personnel to protect or hold their eternal salvation like an egg or work hard to secure it; otherwise, it will fall on the rock and break away for them to lose it, which in fact is completely a delusional threat from the deceiver who is the devil that always contradicts the true Word of God. Nowhere in the New Testament scriptures can you find such theory or doctrine; it is totally and deliberately manmade fearmongering, danger, and confusing premature believers. For if in fact you truly believed in Christ and have received salvation, God who can never lie and can never change His mind has given it to you, then it’s eternal, it’s everlasting, it’s forever, and it has no end. You can never ever lose it irrespective of whatever happens. Eternal salvation is and will never be partial to lose it halfway since God who promised believers is impartial. Don’t believe any garbage more than the true living Word of God. Believer’s eternal security is confidently never losing the everlasting salvation received from God through Christ. Because eternal salvation is not a reward to the righteous but a gift to the guilty. Amen.

Download or read book Once Saved Always Saved written by R. T. Kendall and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "R. T. Kendall is a dear friend with a deep love for the gospel and the ministry. His words are worth reading and taking to heart." --Ed Stetzer, author and president of LifeWay Research The Bible commands us to make our calling and election sure. Why is it then so many Christians today struggle with the issue of assurance? Embracing the doctrine of eternal security, author Dr. R. T. Kendall, in Once Saved, Always Saved, encourages Christians struggling with legalism, bondage, and fear, and he points them toward God's glorious promises. First published in England in 1983, Once Saved, Always Saved presents a practical biblical and theological argument for the eternal security doctrine. It defines the "once saved, always saved" doctrine, explains the meaning of being saved, and clarifies why being saved is such a tremendous happening. This study also discusses sanctification, and it's utter importance in Christian life, and its connection to the kingdom of God. It focuses on the judgment seat of God, showing the importance of being disciplined in the Christian life, and finally presents a strong case for believing in and living the doctrine. Addressing an often controversial but relevant subject, Once Saved, Always Saved teaches that God is sovereign, gracious, and wanting to convey his love and full assurance to those who trust His son. Although a true Christian cannot be lost, Dr. Kendall shows the grave consequences for those who do not persevere in godly living.

Book excerpt: The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.
