In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick concludes our current series teaching "The Eternal Life Rational".
He begins the introduction explaining the three categories of grace involved in God's relationship with mankind:
Pre-Salvation, Salvation and Post Grace. Within the process of this deposition, Dr. Patrick then brings out these following important valid factual points: Once a believer is saved (born again) they now have two natures in conflict with each other.
The old sin nature, and now the newly imputed God righteous spirit birthed in them. The additional point is technically all humans have an old sin nature and everlasting soul life, yet two different destinations. For the believers, eternal security in Heaven+ and for the unbelievers the eternal lake of fire. This distinguishes the difference between a born again saved believer v.s an unsaved unbeliever. Yet both states of being are permanent...
And just as man's weakness and works cannot cancel nor earn God's Salvation, unbelievers can't cancel their fate dwelling in eternal hellfire from God's appointed judgement. In conclusion, There is nothing GOD THE FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT can do to cancel our salvation after we believe in JESUS CHRIST+ And there is nothing we can do either. Now join us for part 18 in the final wrap up of our series..."Eternal Security".
Scripture references: 1 John 5:11-13, and Colossians 3:3.

In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick covers the "Sealing Metaphor for Eternal Security". He explains the various purposes a seal serves in connecting our Lord's official eternal purchase of us born again believers.
Eph 1:14 reads,"Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." He further teaches on it's Definition solidifying with scripture (Eph 1:13,4:30) that the Sealing is the active work of the Holy Spirit which can never be induced as an accolade nor goal to which a Christian can attain on their own merit. To sum up today's message, An Explanation of Sealing is the principal idea of ownership.
Believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit to be identified as belonging to God+
