 Hope you all are doing well. Hope you all are doing fine. I hope you all have enjoyed your week. If you haven't, it's the weekend and so hope God is blessing you. Hope he'll bless you tomorrow if you feel like you hadn't done so this week. But I want to go ahead and jump into something that we talked about but we don't talk about the why. We talked quite a bit about our salvation. Now this is this issue of eternal security. It is one of the more important doctrines when it comes to being a believer. Obviously the most important study, the most important thing is actually placing your faith in Christ. What Christ is on the cross and then you placing your faith. Everything else pales in comparison to that but we need to fully understand exactly what did happen but not just what did happen and not just as we always talk about the implications of what he did on the cross. But you know what else? Why it's important. I think eternal security is very important. Obviously so I cover it quite a bit and I still have an open door invitation for people who want to come and have this conversation. As of yet by the way let me just say this because I've heard a couple people even state that I've got one verse or two verses that I lean on. No I do not by the way but but it's those one or two verses that the opponents cannot get around. And so if you cannot thwart the argument which is this exegesis, Greek exegesis of a couple of passages in John then why would I leave that argument until you can figure out that because if you can't get around that argument then any other argument to the contrary to say that you can lose your salvation means that we have a contradictory gospel. We do not. The issue is what Jesus did and what was the mechanism behind it. What does it do and the importance of it. Now I've got several other passages and I deal with other passages that seem to say that you can lose your salvation. This is very important. I'm going to talk about why and if you notice the intro you saw some people in the videos playing. There's a reason why this is so important. Now depending on how we go who knows we may go ahead and open it up for people to to come on and have a conversation. I'm not sure just yet but we shall see. Depending upon again how how smoothly we get through this who knows I can intend on having making this thing 30 minutes and then into being two hours. The goal is not to be that long but the goal is to simply convey the importance of this. Now that being stated how many of you all and I like to see in the in the chats how many of you all believe that a Christian not someone who we're not sure about this particular person is a believer. If a Christian if a person is a Christian a person places their faith in Christ how many of you all believe that something can happen and that person can no longer be safe. However you want to call it lose a salvation for fit a salvation walk away. Apostle size backslide whatever you want to say how many of you all believe that you can lose your salvation. That's a yes if you believe you can or know that you cannot lose your salvation. I'd be interested to see how you put how you guys would say this in in the chats. Obviously I believe that you cannot. I believe that it is not only is it impossible to lose your salvation but and I probably should have said it differently. I probably should have said how many of you all believe you can lose it. How many of you cannot. I think it's what I said but not only is it impossible to lose it. If you were to lose it it's impossible to get it back. Now they're good. Now let me just say this upfront. Let me just say this up front because I don't want this to be an issue where we bash each other over the head. This is not this is this is not hey my grandmother cooks better than your grandmother my mom cooks better than your mom. No I don't want to have these you know a fight amongst brother where we agree that you must place your faith in Christ. Christ died for us that is faithful in that alone that saves us and then we start fighting. You're of the devil because you believe you can lose salvation or you are the devil because you believe you cannot lose salvation. In all honesty both sides use scriptures. I think though there are some things that we bring to the table that causes us to believe what we believe but I think the scriptures are clear. I think the scriptures are crystal clear. I have covered again I won't do it today but I've covered over and over all of the passages that everyone has brought up. I don't think there's a passage that someone has brought up that says that you can lose your salvation that I have not covered and I have not answered. Now I may I may take a few more if you think I haven't what ends up happening is someone says well you never answered that question and then oh there's a video for that and so I may still do that but what I also will say this and this is a fact no one has refuted what I've stated. Now we did have a guy that came on before who I honestly thought was an honest broker when it comes to his position but I've been told and have seen otherwise that's fine but there is and I may or may not cover this rule I don't think you have to but I might cover the rule where Jesus emphatically states on several occasions not just in one verse but on several occasions that you cannot it is impossible to lose your salvation and I have stated that if you find a Greek scholar that disagrees because the person that I brought on before who not only said that that I was wrong said that I was I was intentionally keeping him off of the program but I did something I sabotage his audio and it wasn't me it was that he was using the wrong the wrong browser use the right browser everything happened I said I still haven't got apology for that but it's okay it's okay I was I was slandered my feelings were hurt but I went through counseling and therapy and I've recovered thanks be to Lord I'm kidding but one of the things that he said was because the whole issue guys sent around centers around I'll get into why this is important in a second but the whole issue had centered around me stating that my Greek exegesis of John 10 28 if it's true then Jesus stated that it is impossible for you to lose your salvation no matter what happens in the future and then someone said what if you walk away well implicit that Jesus means that you will not walk away what happens if you stop believing that means you will not stop believing what happens if you apostatize you will not pass out what happens if you if you stop confessing Christ and you decide to become a Muslim that means you will not become a Muslim all of those are implied in what Jesus stated now I'll play a little quick clip of me trying to explain the rule he didn't quite get the rule at first then he stated that I was misapplying the rule I quoted a couple of scholars and then his response was that the scholars are also applying it wrong and then he goes on to say that if he can find another scholar to rebut me well then I would have a difficult time of answering any scholar a Greek scholar who would say that I'm wrong let me just play a quick clip the point is specifically this the Greek rule you're misapplying and I'm telling you that's where you have failed how do you know I'm telling you I'm challenging you on the way you're using this Greek rule on what basis on what basis does Mahler say that anybody is misapplying Greek what do you mean on what basis on what basis if you don't agree you just want to share this with you for you realize that I have access to the Greek to and the English side by side of all the same programs you do okay so because I have the same programs you do I have placed myself in the position to be able to because I have the resources and the information okay now I'm telling you the rule that you're applying I completely agree with it exists I use it I see it and I don't even speak Greek and I could just say yeah Daniel all the season the question is how is he applying it I think it's an improper use of that that rule that's it and all I'm saying is all I'm saying is this if you're going to say that it's an improper use of the rule and you don't know the rule that how do you make that statement I do know the rule you educated me on it and I could see that you're improperly using it because that's what I thought before and now today I've confirmed I don't agree with your use of the rule so what I was what I was trying to pull something up at the same time almost crashed the whole thing I better stop but I don't know if you caught that last part he says you educated me on the rule and now I can see after you educated me on the rule that you are misapplying that rule including all the scholars okay that that takes a whole lot of nerve but okay fine he did state and said that he would try to find a Greek scholar that would refute my point it's been a few months now and the result is exactly what I what I said is gonna happen you cannot find a Greek scholar because there's a rule in Greek that states if these things happen what's happening is the person speaking is negating something and so and it's not just having to do a salvation it's with other things but now there is a reason why I go to great links to make this point to people about salvation I want to go to a passage I'm gonna play a clip from these guys again because I've seen I don't know what it is maybe the Lord is just is just pushing something at me I don't know maybe it's a devil who knows mate maybe it's the demon slayers just sitting stuff my way I don't know but lately I've seen a bunch of videos and statements of people making these claims about the importance of one saved always save or if it's even true and I happen to notice that these guys that it just it popped up on my on my thread okay he's making another video about me this is what the the 10th video out of the last 11 the 30th video this year about me which is fine hey praise God but this last one was I think was it was a bit silly I did a short about how we can be confident in our salvation Paul's right to the church of Philippi I want you guys to hear their explanation and then I'll cover this again and tell you why even more so why one they're wrong but two if it is indeed important for us to believe that you have your salvation secure and if Paul is confident of that and writes it then we should be confident in it as well okay let's read the full context genius by the way the young fellow JP he has he has this bad habit he is he loves insult me which is fine I don't it's not it's not a big deal he calls you all sorts of names and so forth I don't I don't have a problem that in young fella insult away but then they get upset when I call him young no problem old man insult me all you want Polantimity servants of Jesus of Christ Jesus to all context genius polantimity servants of Jesus of Christ Jesus to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi with the overseers in beacons grace to you and priests from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ I thank my God and all remembrance of you always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with wait a minute wait a minute who's he talking to all right now their pointy is and we're gonna look at the passage I'll let you guys determine which look at the passage the issue is who is who is Paul talking to who is Paul writing to which I listen again I take I take great honor in the fact that you're not responding to a video you're responding to a YouTube short I think that's wonderful but let's just see if you all agree what he's saying he's getting ready to say he's asking wait a minute who is Paul talking to who is Paul referring to so let's keep that in mind with their what they're trying to say their angle their angle is going to be that this passage when Paul is writing to the church of Philippi flip this we're in Philippians one that does this passage even apply to us other believers rep the overseers the church overseers all making my prayer with wait a minute wait a minute who's he talking to correct the overseers the church overseers and the deacons all right so this is targeted to the deacons and the overseers that's the context yeah so the church to the overseers in the deacons but he's about to get a little more personal so I'm not sure if he's trying to make the point that he's only speaking to the deacons and the overseers we're gonna see if that's not even that makes no sense and then I think he it seems like that's what he was going to say and then you read a little further and so he says the church the deacons in the overseers okay well that's everybody the church the deacons and the overseers that pretty much is all-encompassing but then he says it's about to get a little bit more specific or personal so let's see yeah because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now what's the Greek word for until now Corey doesn't care of this that he who began a good work and you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ he's talking to you today as a believer in 2022 no that's what he's applying yeah he's talking to the saints in Jesus Christ who are Philippi with so y'all hear what they're going right now is Jesus I mean is Jesus is Paul talking to us in 2022 also or and everyone else or just the people at Philippi they're making the point they're making the claim that this only applies it's only for the church at Philippi with the overseers and deacons so that particular ministry yep so how do we know that because in verse 5 he says because of your what partnership in the gospel from the day until now and I'm sure of this that he who began a good work and you will bring it to completion in the day of Jesus wait a molar are you saying that this book doesn't apply to us bro so no I would I would never say that but it was to them for us so you can't necessarily take or extrapolate what is being said to a local audience which we now we know is local based on what is being said there and then just apply it to you or believe that Paul's talking to you because he makes it clear at the end of six and it's a seven where he says is a right it is right for me to feel this way about you all this does he know you me and JP so how could he feel anything about us he has to know these people personally it doesn't mean that it doesn't apply but specifically using it as a verse to to refute the idea that you could what forsake the Lord is just it's not only it's a stretch I think at this point he just either didn't read the verse it doesn't care about the context let me just say this first if I were them I would delete this video if I were them I would delete this video this video is laughable on so many faces I mean also meet for so many reasons when he makes a statement that does he know us personally and so the only way that a letter that means the only way that a letter of writing can apply to any of us is they would have had to know us personally that is that delete the video delete the video for the sake of your own pride for the sake of your own ego that that makes absolutely no sense because the fact of the matter is there's no passage that's written to the people up today specifically all of us we have to apply it to us sometimes a passage or applied primarily sometimes secondarily this is to the church used to the believers and not just a group of Jewish believers because there are times where the Bible is written and speaking to Israel specifically and then there there might be some way that we can apply it to our lives but then we use right to the church and they are prescriptive things such as right to the church of Philippi then we take that for all of us even though he was writing specifically to them the idea was for us to also learn of this as well how so we'll we would apply it the exact same way that the church has having it applied to them now I want to go ahead and just real quick because I don't think we'll take very long to cover this let's go ahead and go to first first to Philippians one and let's just see let's just pull it up it says to all the saints who are at Philippi now the word saints if y'all look to the right-hand corner of the word is high voice this is in the masculine plural data the masculine plural data by anyone out there that speaking Greek we can find out if if the same words are kind of tied together because because he says to all to all the saints let's go back to it Parson toys high goes so to all the saints and this choice it's the same it's in the same it's in the data sense as Haggios as well as in the exact same sense as the Piscopois which is the overseers and the deacons the Aconois so all of them the letters to to the saints that is regular old Christians good old Joe blow Christian Mary Christian John Christian Barnabas Christian whoever and then to those who happen to be overseers and deacons everybody so I don't know why I think that's where he wanted to go at first and having a read it like you know what I can't go better out let's see where else I could go to make to make it seem like this letter is not written to anyone else it's written to all of us because guess what here's the here's why they're saying that if the letter is written to all of us if the letter is for us to glean from then what I'm saying is true that Paul has this confidence that he God who began a good work in us God began a good work in me in you and all of you he began a good work in us that he is the one that will see it through he will complete it and we'll look at the word for completion just a second but let's go ahead and continue grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ I thank my God in all my remembrance of you and all my remembrance of you now by the way Paul is not writing to someone individually as though he knows them specifically how do I know because he I'm writing to all of y'all to this church do we think that Paul knew all of the believers there that would be a stretch as well there's no way that Paul first of all Paul the church's planet the church grows there are people that are at that church that that never knew of Paul or Paul never knew of them until this letter they never met each other so let's continue he says because of because of your partnership now he also references where I'm sorry I'm sorry let me back up always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the day from the first day until now and they want to make the point that this issue of partnership that means he Paul is only writing to the people that he has his partnership with hmm how about we look at the word and now I know it's gonna bother some people and it may bother them likely there'll be a video responding to me responding to this video but let's just look and see what this word is and you tell me does this word is this word that we always apply to us as well let's look at the word the word for partnership is the word Coinonia does anybody know what the word Coinonia is anybody have any idea what the word Coinonia means and we use this word all the time we don't necessarily use it in the Greek but we use it all the there we go when Wendy is Wendy is John not Johnny on the spot she's Wendy on the spot the word for Coinonia is fellowship I think I'm so he so he's he's thanking them and praising them because of their fellowship in the gospel not they were doing anything extra some sort of specific work for Paul on behalf of Paul or that Paul commended to do just their fellowship in the gospel again again this isn't that difficult now look what he says and I am sure of this that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion the word for completion is the word for tell us now this is the word epitelecy which is guys is a singer future active indicative meaning that it is going to be done this is going to happen this is a fact it is in the indicative and so future so it's a fact that this is going to happen in the future so he says that he will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ he says it is right for me to feel this way about you all because I hold you in my heart for you all are partakers with me with grace in this word partakers it's it's two words it's the word Sue with Quenanos now the word Sue is soon the first word is soon which means with and then Quenonia which is so we're fellow we're fellow partakers or we we are fellow sipping together in this he's not speaking one about anyone particularly speaking of all of us and so to say that this only so are we saying that that Paul believes including the people that he's never met that he's confident that every last one of those believers God is going to finish their work his work in them but nobody else then it doesn't apply to the church at the church in Galatia any of the churches in Galatia it doesn't apply to the church at Corinth or Colise it doesn't apply to anywhere else anyone else just Philippine that's silly that's just silly it there's no other way around that what it is is you're trying to prove a point when you see a passage rather than deal with the passage I didn't apply to us now there are there some passages that don't apply to us there are but they're easy to spot they're easy to spot for example when he tells the children of Israel to walk around the to walk around seven times and then shout well we know that didn't apply to us didn't apply to us okay when we're told when Abraham is told to take his son and sacrifice him didn't apply to us okay so there are passages verses that don't apply to us this isn't one of those now the implication of this is this is confidence that he has and there in lies the issue the main point some might say it doesn't matter it's not that important whether you think you can lose your salvation or we think you cannot guys let me say this it is absolutely important for you to know that you cannot that you cannot let me let me tell you why I say so first of all the reason why it's important for you to know is because the Bible says so and if the Bible says so well then that means we should know it which means it's important though if it's written in the book then it's important to know there are no issues in the Bible that are so secondary tertiary that they don't require our attention every verse every doctrine every understanding every passage requires us to know now there's some that we can apply direct to ourselves but at least to get an understanding as to what's happening when God when God punches someone for a certain sin it meant and applied to us but we can learn hey God is not playing around with sin when he burns up and they dab in the behoof approaching with strange fire at the wrong time he makes a statement that those who approach me will regard me as holy I'm not someone to play with well he's not burning us up but we can we can learn from that lesson don't come to God any old sort of way so the book of Hebrews is written to people to give them comfort and to give them confidence giving them confidence Paul says that this is the confidence that I have or we can have that he who began to get work in us but the book of Hebrews labors the point of us having or in this case these Jews having this confidence why was the book of Hebrews written the book of Hebrews was written to these Jews who had placed their faith in Christ as a Messiah the problem that they had was they were used to having their sins at home for for one year and then having to come back and to do it again and in the meantime they're also a little smaller offerings other ways to atone for sin or give Thanksgiving offerings and grain off and things like that in the meantime and then that once a year they all come together and all their sins are atone for and their sins are taken taken out of the camp and they were used to that happening every year but what's the problem they have now the problem is though that there is no more yearly sacrifice there is no more sacrifice there's no more offering there is no more priests bringing in this this this perpetuation this blood that will expiate their sins of paper their sins there's no more scapegoat having all the sins of people cast on the head of this scapegoat and sent away to the wilderness there's no more of that so in their mind what's gonna happen now what I've messed up I'm bothered I did something wrong what do I do and so therein lies a problem and so the book is written to comfort them and so I want to go ahead and track I want to go ahead and go through this and I tell you what we'll do let we'll try to move through fairly quickly and I'll go ahead matter of fact let's do this let's do this I'll go ahead and send out the link in a little bit once we finish the pinpoint if we get through in time I'll put the link out well you'll see me email that I give the link and then we'll have this conversation if you want to now it's gonna be quick it's not gonna be long you'll get maybe three four minutes to make your point if you do come on and then we'll go from there but let's just look and see if the writer is trying to give us some sort of confidence and assurance of what he has done for us let's go there Hebrews chapter 9 starting verse 11 but when Christ appeared as high priests now remember Jesus Christ plays the part of all three important elements in this atonement he's trying to convey to them that your salvation is still based on the same atonement that was even there under the old covenant the difference is under this new covenant for you guys that there are better elements a better high priest better blood and a better scapegoat let's see he says so but when Christ appeared as high priest of the good things that have come that have come then through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands excuse me not made with hands not of this creation he entered how many times once for all into the holy places not by means of blood of goats and by calves but by means of his own blood very important thus securing an eternal redemption that's important no no no blood of bulls and goats no calves no other high priest in a better tent not one not made by hands bringing blood his own blood and what does it say that his own blood did secure a redemption but what type of redemption it secured an eternal redemption now I want you all to see something here and then you're gonna see a change in the wording that should cause your heart to just leap okay so now thus securing an eternal redemption the words that's used here eternal and redemption I want you to focus on these two words the word for eternal is the word Ionian that's the word we get the word for eternity or into the ages so eternal and then redemption this word for redemption is Lutrosin so Ionian Lutrosin eternal redemption I only on my back yes the right direction for you guys I only on Lutrosin eternal redemption I want you to focus on this word redemption that's used here the word is Lutrosin you're gonna see this word change and there's a reason for this change he says for if the blood of bulls I mean of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a defiled person with the ashes of a heifer sanctify for purification of the flesh how much more will the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God so he's making a comparison between the elements of old and Christ if that would secure a redemption for in this case one year how much more would the blood of Christ do because if the blood of Christ only says only secured salvation temporarily well then Jesus you wasted your time because we have the exact same thing before that the blood of these bulls and goats secured salvation temporarily secured atonement temporarily but in this case this is an internal redemption let's go to it verse 15 therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance the promised eternal inheritance notice what he says that those who are called may receive the promised the promised eternal inheritance what's this internal inheritance they will receive he says since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant so something is redeeming them not even for just now but also from the transgressions of the first couple but I want you to look at this word this word is powerful we don't give enough attention enough attention to this word let's go remember I told you the word that we were focusing on this word leutrophson leutrophson means to redeem leutrophson means to redeem let's put it back on the screen now we've got another word look over to the right in the green we have a new word formed this word is the word apah leutrophson it previously we were talking about this leutrophson now we have this apah leutrophson apah leutrophson the reason why the apah is added to it is it kind of magnifies enhances almost super sizes this redemption and what it is it's a redemption that does not get reversed it's a redemption that where the where whoever's redeemed cannot be put back into the need to be redeemed again that's what this word means apah leutrophson so let's continue for where there is involved the death of one who of the one who made it must be established for a will takes a takes effect only at death since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive I reach white some of this will because the wheel the promised inheritance is a result it becomes an active I'm sorry becomes active once the person dies well who died Jesus who set the terms of the wheel God did so here we go verse 18 therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood for when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people he took the blood of cash and goes with water and scarlet wool he has up and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people saying this is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you and in the same way he sprinkled the blood both the tent and all the vessels using worship indeed under the law almost everything is purified with blood and look what it says and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin okay well so why would you say without the shedding of blood there be no forgiveness of sin because if there is shed blood to make the payment that's what the payment that God requires is shed blood if there then is a payment if there is shed blood then guess what you have you have forgiveness of sins your sins have been remitted this has been paid for remember that let's continue thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rights but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these look what it says for Christ has entered not into holy places made with hands which are copies of a true thing but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf so now remember this let's let's keep this imagery the high priest goes before the presence of the Lord on the people's behalf here you've got some sinful man whose head is in the tone for before he goes and he's made right goes before God to make atonement for the people on behalf of the people he's mediating on behalf of people but in this case now we've got Jesus going before God mediating on our part now here's how this works you've got Jesus who is man mediating on the on behalf of man before God and you also got Jesus who was God mediating on behalf of God before man you talk about having to fix in the very could you imagine if you needed something someone to make a decision on your behalf and the person who's arguing for your position the person who's arguing for your defense is also the person who's gonna make a judgment think about this you get in trouble with the law and you've got a system where your attorney is going to represent you and then it's also going to be the ones gonna pass judgment on you it's a pretty sweet setup my attorney gets to also play the part of the judge I think I like that I think I like that as a matter of fact is Jesus called the great judge yes he is let's keep going nor was it offered himself repeatedly look at this as because he only appeared to own to the in the presence of the Lord once on this for this reason he says nor was it offered to offer himself repeatedly Jesus is not going to offer himself repeatedly as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world but as it is he has appeared once for all at the at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifices of himself how many times was the Jesus did he enter into the sacrifice how many times was it required of him did he have to sacrifice himself repeatedly or did he have to do so just once well according to the scriptures just once as a matter of fact let me do something let me go ahead and add okay let me go ahead and put this back on the screen this way I want to to add me to the screen how about that now the important part is how many times the Jews according to them felt like it need to be done the normal way the normal the normal reason the normal way for doing this was supposed to be year after year after year after year after year after year after year every year how many years as long as it took as long as there was an imperfect sacrifice number one but now we've got a perfect sacrifice and so now Jesus does this once let's go back and read it again for Christ has entered not into the holy place made with hands which are copies of truth things but into the heaven itself and look what he says verse 25 nor was it to offer himself repeatedly so he did not have to keep doing this over and over just one time remember though the situation that they find themselves in is that it has to be done every year repeatedly why because this year I stand with my sins atone for the next year no it's got to happen again year but this time with Jesus just one time meaning I don't have to have my sins atone for every year just atone for one time if it's by a better sacrifice by a better high priest that's we have here let's continue verse 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world but as it is he appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself and just as it as it is appointed for man to die once and after that comes judgment so Christ having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time not to deal with sin he's not gonna deal with our sin anymore I already did that Jesus would say it's already happened but the second time to save those who are eagerly waiting for him who in the world will be waiting for him the ones who sins he's paid for that's who and how many times has Jesus had to pay for their sins one time let's go to verse 10 for since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities it can never it can never by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year make perfect those who draw near so a continual offering that they were used to never made them perfect now not perfect in sense that they didn't sin they didn't have bad thoughts they that they always did the good things no they never did anything bad no that's not the perfect it's just being perfect before the Lord he says that kind of offering could never make them perfect but this one could otherwise if it could he says otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered since the worshipers having been once cleansed would no longer have any consciousness of sin and therein lies issue the issue is this this feeling this consciousness this knowing it's like I said someone who let's say is on dialysis or someone who has to go to the hospital or doctors weekly or monthly they're thankful that there is some sort of medicine for them but the other part is there's this constant reminder of having to take this medicine or having to prick my hand or stick myself or all these different things there's this constant reminder well he has put that away he has put that thank you true seeker he is he has dealt with that and gotten rid of that let's let's keep going he says verse three but in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin of year for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin so what's the issue the issue is taking away sin not even so much making a payment for sin he's gonna make a payment for sin but the taking away of sin meaning that we're still reminded about our sin I'm going somewhere with this I'm going somewhere with this ladies and gentlemen the issue is taking away the very thing that trips us up this reminder of it because what did you say there's this reminder of reminder of our sin year after year after year after year after year after year after year the blood of bulls and goats could never take away sin could Jesus remember John says I'll say in my southern voice look y'all the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world so Jesus is going to play the part of the scapegoat and take away the sins of the people look what he says verse five consequently because he's comparing the old to now Christ consequently when Christ came into the world he said sacrifices and offerings you have not desired but a body you have prepared for me and burnt offerings and sin offerings you have no pleasure he's taking no pleasure so you keep doing all these things it doesn't satisfy God it doesn't ultimately doesn't satisfy God like this one sacrifice will and if God is satisfied well then who's gonna come back and say no God I think I think they still owe you let's continue verse seven verse seven then behold I have come and do your will oh God as it is written of me in the scroll of the books verse 8 when he said above you have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifice and offerings but burnt offerings and sin offerings these are offered according to the law then he added behold I have come to do your will he looks as he has done away with the first in order to establish the second and by that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all I'm gonna have to read that again I'm gonna have to read that again for anyone that wants to turn around and make a video about about what I'm saying make a video about this passage and by that what by what Christ has done we have been we have been done we have been we have been since past tense since past tense guys we have been sanctified we have been sanctified I want y'all to see this we have been sanctified through the offering of the body Jesus Christ once for now hold on before I get to the good part about this passage before I get to the really really gooderest part of this passage thank you Tamara before I get to the awesomest part the most awesomest part of this passage this word right here sanctify comes from the Greek where we use Haggios holy set up part sanctified look at the bottom left-hand corner this is in the perfect middle part of simple this is the perfect middle part of simple let me go back to the big screen let me go back to the big screens I want you all to see the smile on my face I want you all to see the smile on my face the joy that I've overcome with by this passage I want you all to see this because this applies to you all this for all of us this is the good news but when it when it says the perfect middle part of simple perfect means what I know I got a few Greek students out there in the audience the perfect means it is a completed action and happened in the past with in this case relevant and even ongoing significance because it's in the middle because it's in the middle voice means we didn't do it it was done to us on behalf of in this case God then it's in the it's a part of simple meaning our sanctification that happened then is still happening so he's still doing it so when I feel like hey I'm not quite there yet don't worry about it you're still being you were sanctified and you're still being sanctified are you with me that's that's literally what they're saying this is why this in the perfect middle perfect mid where's it at I'm sorry there it is in the perfect middle part of simple that's the heck of a work now let me go ahead and get to the gooderest part the most awesome as part of even verse 10 he says and and by that well we have been we will have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ here it is once for all once for all can we all say it together once for all once for all once for all we've been sanctified this one time that's it that's it now I see someone's really clever really cute I think this I think that's cute the guy says that guy Ellie says one saved OSAS equals one center always center please send your email so I can go ahead and have you come on one center all that's cute I like that but again it's not Bible it's not the scripture it's not the scripture so but look what he says though look what he says because I notice you guys don't deal with the text that I'm dealing with but it's okay though and every priest he says stands daily referring to the old priest stands daily at his service offering look what he says offering repeatedly daily repeatedly the same sacrifices which can never take away things again the issue is taking away sins what's God's issue when he sees us he's gonna see the sin however there's gotta be something to take away this ish take away sin I don't want to see your if I'm gonna see your sin again if you all have done something to me you stole my watch and you're asking for forgiveness but you keep wearing a watch in front of me well wait a second hold up wait a minute let's just put some thinking in it you stole my watch you said you're sorry and you are wearing the stolen watch in front of me you don't see anything wrong with that now in our case we're sorry Lord for our sin but we keep sinning so won't God keep sending the sin only keep seeing the sin before us well the same thing then and so what the scapegoat would do under the old coming the old system of atonement was that the sins are pronounced on the head of the goat the scapegoat is sent away and so the Lord no longer sees that so now Jesus does the same thing if the if the sins were not sinned before seen before the Lord on the scapegoat don't you think that this our sins won't be seen before the Lord if Jesus carries our sins away that lamb who takes away this in the world don't you think the same thing happens even more so I think so but when Christ had offered for all time oh man listen this thing just keeps getting gooderister and gooderister I mean I'm talking about more and more awesomester I'm making up words here because I have to there's just no words to comprehend what he has done look at this he says but when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sin for all time for all time a single sacrifice for sin a single sacrifice for sin he sat down at the right hand of God he sat down I'm through I'm through I'm through no more of this no I don't have to do anymore I don't have to pay more if I've paid how many of you guys I just want to know especially you folks who believe you can lose your salvation you all tell me this how many of you all got a ever got a good deal on something good deal in the house good deal on a car good deal on a meal a good deal on anything you paid for something you got more than you bargained for went back so you know what I'm gonna keep paying you I'm gonna keep paying you for this thing that I paid for you told me to give you a hundred dollars I enjoyed what you gave me so much I'm gonna keep giving you a hundred dollars we don't do that do we how many of you pay more on your mortgage than you want to or than you need to my mortgages I don't know thousand dollars a month but because I like this house so much I want to give them an extra thousand not to go towards my principal or my mortgage but just cuz I like you guys just for kicks and giggles because you're just wonderful the mortgage company doesn't even offer you and ask you that nor does God once God says this is what I desire this is what I'm asking for the payment of blood once I get it bam there is no longer a sacrifice that's remaining let's go back to it I'm having fun by the way I hope you are too by the way let me act real youtube-ish if you are enjoying this would you please feel free to hit that like button just kind of just bless it cast any demons out of the like button just gently touch it you can breathe on it you can kiss it you can rub it you can cast a spell on it do whatever you want to but please hit the like button for for good old Cory might thank you let's go back to it but when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sin he sat down at the right hand of God waiting look what he says waiting from that time until his enemy should be made his footstool for his feet for by look what he says for by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified oh wait wait a minute wait a minute Diana I need you to help me Diana Latanya you ladies I need you guys to help me Lisa I need you guys to help me because I'm running out of words I I've rent I can't the most gooderist now it's become the most gooderistist the most gooderistist err of all time look what he says look what he for by a single offering he has perfected by a single offering he has perfected for all time who ladies and gentlemen who did he perfect for all time by this single offer can can someone help me out maybe I should not use the most gooderist of all time or maybe I should but who did he perfect for all time I'm I maybe I don't see this correctly I I need to know I got to know who who do you all think that he perfected for all time I think I cast my vote for us I think that he he did this for us now yes Scott he did it for Israel but this also applies to us see the the issue with Israel is that Israel the Jews all they knew was the old covenant uh system well this same sacrificial system also applies to us how do I know because in Romans Paul says that Paul tells us that what has saved us is the atonement or the reconciliation with this Romans 5 and so the exact same verb is used here so the atonement happens not just for Israel but also for us but the reason why he's writing this is because it's the Jews who are used to having to have this guilt and so the is he writing specifically to Gentiles no but it's a plot of us yes yes it does yes it does because the Gentiles weren't the ones thinking hey you know what I'm in trouble because you know we've always had this system no that wasn't a Gentile issue that was a Jewish issue and that's why he's writing to the Jews but he says for by a single offering he has perfected for all time who those who are being sanctified that's us that's us that's me that this is the one time where it's good to say me me me me me me me me me and you you you you you all of us who are part of the family all of us who have placed our faith in Christ not all of us who have tried to be saved as Paul says by trying to be righteous in our works no no no you who you who have attempted to be justified by the law or have attempted to be justified by your works by the fact that you don't sin at all the fact that you know how to read the bible all you good folks who just don't need to save you you who attempt to be justified by works you have been cut off from salvation there's no way for you to get to salvation there's no way for you to get there by your works but for the rest of us those of us who have been perfect perfected for all time those are ones he is sanctified who have been sanctified we now are we the ones who've been sanctified well we just read it we just read and it was it was in the uh of the perfect middle participle that word for being sanctified so that's us let's continue he says and the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us after for after saying this is the covenant that I will make with them after these days of clothes of Lord I will put my laws on their heart and write them on their minds why is he going back and referencing this Old Testament uh uh uh statement and it also applies as we've covered how this even though it is he's speaking to the Jews and even though Jesus was speaking to a Jew Nicodemus speaking about Israel how it also applies to Gentiles because in John 1 talks about those who were born of him and how he will put his spirit in us and will cause us to walk and look what he's saying right here he's saying uh I will make I will make with them that is Israel those days declare to Lord look what he says we'll do I will put my laws on their hearts and write them on their minds then I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more amen hallelujah Lord you will not remember their sins or our sins anymore where there is forgiveness of these there is no longer any offerings wait a second wait a second guys I'm sorry I'm running out of words I am literally running out of words so this can be without a doubt the most awesomest bestest Easter um greatest Easter of all time he says he says follow me where there is forgiveness of sin or forgiveness of these which is these sins there is no longer any offering of sin if your sins have been forgiven is there a need for an offering no no there won't be another need for an offering and there won't be another need for your sins to be forgiven they have been forgiven let's keep going this is why I'm talking about the importance of one saved always saved turns good this is why now I want to thank you guys for bearing with me all of that was the introduction it's a long introduction but now we're getting to the good part now we're getting to the we're getting to the meat you've had your your breadsticks you've had your water your coke your tea now it comes to the main course the main reason why we are here today here it is verse 19 therefore brothers since we have confidence to enter the holy place by blood of jesus by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain that is through his flesh and since we have a great high priest over the house let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies and our bodies washed with pure water he says approach him with with clear confidence with assurance of faith remember I I spoke about it in its elibidicus when they dab it and be who came before the lord and they weren't allowed to and he says because the rule is you can't come before the lord you can't be in his presence just because you got to be in right standing and he's saying you can now notice what he says notice what he's what he has in mind what he's implying here it's not like the writer has forgotten that we have sin that we are just by nature wicked people look what look what he says let's go back to 22 he says let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith with a heart sprinkled clean from what what is our heart sprinkled clean from I need you all to tell me this what are our hearts sprinkled clean from very important our hearts are sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washable so he hadn't forgotten about the fact that we are wicked that we're evil that we're just bad people he hadn't forgot about that at all as a matter of fact no the issue is that we've been cleansed from that so look what he says verse 23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering hold fast without wavering hold on I'm almost ready to do the Sam and Dave hold on I'm coming hold on and 24 let us let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good words not neglecting the meeting together as the habit of some but encouraging one another all the more as you see the day drawing near encouraging each other why would I have to encourage anyone why would I encourage someone if I don't think that they if they lost their salvation that's not a reason to encourage anyone verse 26 for if we go on sinning if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins well that makes sense now does that negate our salvation no because just like it was in the old if a person just kind of flip without whatever we have a day of atonement and I just you know I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do just because I've not placed faith nor have I been thankful for the sacrifice made for me and I haven't placed any faith in that sacrifice and so therefore I didn't do it with the same with the with a faithful heart in the first place I was never saved to begin with but the person because John tells us that the person who does this they have been born a god anyway the person who continues to and by the way this word for for sin hamart no hamart no nton is a present active parts of so these are people who live a lifestyle of sin well there is no sacrifice for the person who who is just I don't care whatever there is no sacrifice for that person let's continue he says uh there no long remains a sacrifice for sin but a fruit but a fearful expectation of judgment and fury of the fire that will consume the adversaries anyone who has set aside the law of moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses how much more worse punishment do you think will be deserved of the one who has trampled under the foot under foot the son of god and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he has or which he was sanctified and has outraged the spirit of grace so if you are a person now there's there might be two ways to take this I'll take it the easy way for the people who believe you can do if a person who continues to sin what you're doing is I don't care about the blood I don't care that you made this awesome excellent perfect sacrifice for me so what I'm gonna do what I want to do okay well then fine there's no sacrifice for you for the person it's like that there's nothing for you now it also can be taken out and I've told you all before that I've rested with this going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth that is this that is this um is it possible that the people who think that you can't lose your salvation that that's you that you that you have disregarded and have uh underestimated and spoken ill of the blood of Christ as though the blood of Christ is not a perfect think about it if there ever was a payment that could pay for us completely and totally if there was a mechanism whereby we could have our sins atoned for and never have to worry about sin I know you guys think that once they've always saved as a heresy but if there was a such thing that God could put in place to pay and make sure and ensure that those who place their faith at one time will always be saved would it be the blood wouldn't it be the one thing I think that would be the one thing uh and he says so once saved always saved is a lie um I'm sure you're trying to say from the pit of hell it is a nicolate is the nicolation doctrine that Jesus hates okay well I'm gonna look for your scripture sir matter of fact more than that I'm gonna look for you to send your email so that you can come on we can have this conversation won't be long won't be long at all so let's let's go back and continue for we know him who said venus is mine I will repay and again the Lord will judge his people it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God but recall recall what's he said recall recall the former days when after you were enlightened you endured a hard struggle with suffering sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction and sometimes being partners with those so treated for you had compassion on those in prison and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property since you know or you knew that yourselves had a better possession and so I said but that's not you though the people who are in this willful sin that's not you he says recall let's go back up to it the former days after you were enlightened you endured your hardship let's keep going verse 35 therefore do not throw away your confidence so he wants to be confident I'm getting there I'm getting somewhere he wants us to be confident which has a great reward for you have need of endurance so that when you have done the will of God when you have done the will of God when you have done the will of God heiress active participle means that you started and you are continuing doing this will of God when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised yet a little while and the coming one will come and will not delay but my righteous one shall live by faith and if he shrinks back my soul has no pleasure so if you shrink back my soul has no pleasure but now are we the ones are we the kind are they the kind that will shrink back look what he says but we are none of those who shrink back and are destroyed but of those who have faith and have preserved and and preserve their soul and then he goes on talking about those who have done so by faith given the whole what we call the faith hall fame now the reason why you need to have the reason why this matters and even if you go back and watch the the beginning the little pre-intro you'll see me playing clips of firemen you'll see me playing clips of the Navy SEALs and arming rangers why is that important well there are some jobs that you absolutely have to have you absolutely have to have confidence in what you're doing there are some jobs where you cannot be fearful of any sort of loss there are some jobs that require you to just know that what you're doing is going to work that you're going to achieve your goal you we do not have or at least we don't want Navy SEALs who are fearful about their tasks they are confident when they go in they believe that the tasks will be accomplished they do all this training they do all this studying they do all this going back and forth is working and so forth so when the day comes they're fully confident well in our case we've had some in the dump that's on all the heavy lifting for us and so we are confident this is why the writer is saying to these to them that you can have this confidence and that you can approach with this assurance of faith knowing that what was done paid and bought something for us the old covenant way the way the old way of atonement was that blood was shed that blood accomplished a couple things it would cover the sin and cancel the debt this blood by Christ covers the sins cancels the debt he carries our sin away and the mediator is none other than Christ himself and so when he says that who shall bring a charge against God's elect that he says it is God who justifies this Romans 8 if we are God's elect no one's going to be able to bring a charge even anyone that believes that you can lose your salvation you can't bring a charge against me because it is God who justifies not you
