Then I lost my salvation decades ago - and a thousand times since.

Your comment is proof enough that you're still here by grace, and for you, the day is still "today." You and I are in the same boat, my friend, harden not your heart. Turn back to Him every day, every minute, and every second. I WILL. ❤

Salvation is by grace, not by anything of ourselves --- not our perseverance, not our other works. Only the finished work of Christ on the cross saves us.

Love your KZbin Channel! So helpful! Would you be willing to place the scripture references on the Title page, perhaps along side the Episode number. You mention it verbally, but seeing it listed also would be so helpful. Thanks for considering this. God bless you!

There comes a time when one has to admit that they're wicked. Maybe then, will you become deserving of the gift of sanctification. A mere confession, with a heart postured towards sin is nothing but senseless babble. It has to come from the heart. Only then can the Saviour free us from sin. Let me not forget to mention our lack of faith in this regard, that we have truly been free from sin. When will we stop taking God for granted? When will I?

For every passage in the Bible saying we're saved by Christ there's another one saying our salvation requires us to overcome sin ourselves. Are we supposed to be filled with doubt and fear or faith and joy, I really cannot keep it straight from week to week as I listen to the sermons, the gospel and attend Bible study.

@@christopherflanagan9626 The passages saying that we're saved by Christ and the ones urging us to overcome sin and persevere till the end are not contradictory, but the actions we do to overcome sin are indicative that we have been saved. As Christisns, we do according to what we are and what we are is solely because of God's grace and love which will accomplish in us and for us all that God wills. Because of Jesus' finished work, we should be encouraged and full of faith and joy as God brings forth fruit in our lives to show we belong to him, but fearful if we don't see fruit in our lives but continue pursuing idols while claiming to be saved, and when we see this in others who claim to be saved. Perfect love casts out fear and brings forth holiness, yet if you don't desire and grow in holiness then you may yet lack God's saving love. Then, fear you should as you plead during your Bible reading before the Gospel that you may receive that saving love and be assured of it. If you read the epistles closely, especially Paul's, you should notice a pattern where he: 1) greets his audience with a blessing and a statement of complete confidence that those who are saved were chosen by God's grace which will hold them securely till they receive the fullness of what God has in store. 2) describes what salvation is and / or defends it against reports of a false Gospel that is threatening the church, then he talks about who we are through faith in Jesus and what God is doing in us as his saved people. 3) he addresses certain sin issues and gives commands from God about how to confront them and live holy lives, not by our own strength but with reliance on God. (for example - Philippians 2:12-13) 4) then there are warnings for those who are continually disobedient, but never once is it said that it is possible for anyone to lose their salvation. It is consistently taught that God's grace works in those who are saved to shape their hearts and bring forth the holiness and obedience that God commands and when that doesn't take place in someone then they may not truly be saved and they still have need for repentance and faith in the true Gospel. 5) finally, the epistles close with a few more commands to that local church particularly and acknowledgments, followed by a final encouragement letting readers know that ultimately God's purpose will succeed and he will be glorified in us.

Both you believe in Christ to overcome you know it’s bad and change it having faith alone that Jesus will change your problems but you don’t change they will always come back so it’s both have faith and faith with works will be something from your heart

christopherflanagan9626 Your questions are very good and logical. Many passages are taken out of context and that is where the confusion comes from. The pastor in this video took things out of context. Salvation is by grace through the finished work of Christ on the cross alone. May I ask what verses make you think otherwise? 🙏♥️

This sermon is kinda all over the place. It would be better for all the passages in Hebrews that he mentioned to be interpreted individually rather than clustered together, further confusing the matter. Piper's mention of Hebrews 12:16-17 and interpretation of there "coming a point at which repentance is impossible," even for professing Christians, because of too much willful sin does seem to conflict with the biblical view of eternal security by suggesting that it is up to Christians to keep themselves saved by making sure they don't turn out like Esau, when the writer's point is actually for professing Christians in his audience to examine their hearts for idolatry that keeps them from embracing Christ in true repentance. Contexually, Esau did not sin willfully up until a point where repentance was impossible as though before this certain point it may have been possible for him to repent and suuposedly gain or keep his salvation but when he tried to it was too late. On the contrary, Esau was an idolater rejected by God for the inheritance from the beginning, so Esau could not have possibly repented and received the inheritance nor did he ever desire and try to repent. He cried out to Isaac because he wanted to be blessed materially NOT because he had been convicted with godly sorrow for having wronged his father and earlier despised the inheritance by selling it to Jacob as if it were meaningless, which ultimately was his rejection of God's grace and guidance over his life which Esau did not care about. It was not "too late" for Esau because he had sinned willfully for too long before trying to repent. Esau never truly repented because he was in need of God's saving grace to overcome his idolatry, but God rejected him. The warning then, is not to for Christians to be scared that they may sin willfully and reach a point where they can't repent, even short of the final judgment. Instead, we should beware that we don't value anything or anyone above Jesus after we have been exposed to the Gospel because if we don't repent of idolatry by the time we die or Jesus returns, then crying "Lord please forgive me and bless me with a place in Heaven," is not going to avail because our time is up and that's not true repentance. Repentance, by the way, is a gift that God either grants or withholds from who he wills. So all who have heard the Gospel but may be afraid that they are like Esau because they have not repented should keep exposing themselves to the Gospel, through which repentance and faith comes, and plead with God to grant them assurance of that gift before they die in their sins. Up until that point, there's no way of knowing whether God may grant repentance or not, but we must seek him while he yet may be found.

phieble... (Respectfully to you),... Your commentary on Piper's sermon goes to great lengths to offer "correction" from a supposed superior posture... by theologically superimposing an integrated juxtaposition of the Bible's "meta-narration" with your in-tandem treatment of both prescriptive and descriptive aspects that -while, indeed are scriptural - miss the point Piper's imminent emphasis on the phenomenological warning that he effectively portrays from the emotion of experiential perception... and this is the power of a Piper's intention! This is why Piper affects people's lives exactly how God has intended... in a way that you haven't. It's a portrayal that is the difference in a sanitized paper for a classroom... versus spiritually contending for the conviction of the hearer. Such is the quickening of Piper's gift ...that goes far beyond the academic credentials of his position that has graded stacks of treatises such as your critique -as formally myopic as it may have been.

@scottcarter1689 Would care to simplify your critique so I can better understand it and take it into consideration? I listen to John Piper regularly and consider him one of the most theologically sound prominent preachers in the last 50 years, so I'm very familiar with his theology which is why I found some statements made here to be problematic.

I’ve never liked this interpretation of Esau’s “unable to repent”. As it sounds like the door to heaven was closed to him. But the scripture is clearly referencing when he sold his birthright and then couldn’t repent of it because it was gone though he cried to Issac. It doesn’t mean that he was damned to never be able to repent and be saved, Esau may very well be in Heaven for all we know

Please explain further. Esau's story causes me to question the translation or the exegesis?
