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".

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+

In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick explains "Anthropomorphism for Eternal Security".
An Anthropomorphism ascribes to God a human characteristic or a part of a human body which God doesn't have, but it is used to explain some divine policy to us in terms of human anatomy. In the Old T, it can be found in Psalms 37:24 that though we fall, we will not be completely cast down because God sustains any believer. In The New T, it can be found in John 10:28 that once given eternal life, the believer will never perish nor be snatched out of His hand+.

In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick breaks down "The Essence of God Rational".
He expounds on the immutable infinite attributes of God, pointing out that no matter what failed state the believer falls in,
God will not and cannot cancel their salvation.
Presently many Christians can be described as "Walking Dead in Church" today.
Yet God still remains faithful and according to 2 Pet 3:9, God is "not willing that any should perish".
Therefore God will not lose any soul once reborn in Jesus Christ+

In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick concludes "The Family of God Rational", and continues "The Body Metaphor for Eternal Security". In Christ as a whole body we are joint heirs with Him.
In the royal family of God , Jesus Christ is head, and every believer is a member or part of His body. Jesus as the head is found in Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 4:15; Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Scripture references: 1 Cor 12:21 Eph 1 :22
Eternal Salvation + Part 11
In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick concludes "The Family of God Rational",
and begins "The Body Metaphor for Eternal Security". In Christ as a whole body we are joint heirs with Him.
Therefore we are all connected as One Body which secures our eternal security.
It is important to remember that as members of the Body of Christ,
no other part of the body cannot function without the other.
Apostle Paul points out this analogy in 1st Corinthians 12:21. "And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you". Join us now for part 11 of our current series...

In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick continues to explain ten points of "The Logical Approach Rationale"+
Gal 3:26, "For all of you are the sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus." Once we are born into a human family, we cannot be unborn and removed from that http://family.once in the family of God, no believer can be removed from the family of God. So the moment you believe in Jesus Christ, you are born in the family of God.
Eternal Security+ Part 9
In today's lesson, Dr. Larry B. Patrick now moves on to explain ten points of "The Logical Approach Rationale"+
Based upon Romans 8:32, "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Therefore at our instant Salvation God gives us many more than forty things.
This passage also uses a system of logic called "a fortiori", meaning "with stronger reason" in the Latin.
A fortiori says, in effect, that if God did the greatest thing at Salvation by not sparing His own Son, it follows logically that He can do less than the greatest thereafter which is give us eternal security+

Eternal Salvation + Part 7
In today's lesson Dr. Larry B. Patrick continues explaining "The Positional Sanctification Rationale" in our current series+
According to Ephesians 1:4 & 5, God predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself and chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love. As The Church we have already been ordained as the Wife of Christ being prepared to be presented to Him (our Bridegroom) in an Eternal marriage. Therefore our sanctification and position in Christ being born again is permanent.
We as God's Children are His inheritance. With that being solidified by God's Word. Can your temporary life on this Earth actually rob God of His inheritance He had chosen in Eternity past? As you ponder this question...

Eternal Salvation + Part 6
In today's lesson Dr. Larry B. Patrick continues in our current series of Eternal Security+
He explains "The Positional Sanctification Rationale".
Romans 8:38-39(KJV) 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Because we are in union with Christ, nothing can separate us from our eternal salvation.
Therefore, we can never get out of Union with Christ+

Eternal Salvation +Part 5
In today's lesson Dr. Larry B. Patrick continues in our current series of Eternal Security+
One reason why salvation is a free gift of God and not earned by works is that Grace Glorifies God.
Our works would glorify man. We are saved by Grace through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast. We are also God's workmanship.
Therefore salvation cannot be of ourselves. As stated in 2 Corinthians 3:18...
"But we all, with an open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
When we read God's Word, we are seeing a mirror of God's reflection.
In the same vain, When God see's us His born again Children. He see's Himself.

Eternal Salvation +Part 4
Today. Dr. Larry B. Patrick continues in our current series of Eternal Security+
He explains the total exegesis meaning of verse 5 from Ephesians 2:8-9 expounding on the Apostle Paul's statement,
"by grace ye are saved."
Salvation is not a wrapped pre-packaged gift God gives to mankind based on an emotion nor a human merit reward system.
Unlike us, God's (Grace) love is unconditional perfected in Holy righteousness. Therefore our eternal salvation can't be taken back nor refunded.
It is a tattooed permanent seal on our souls strictly given to us through the instrument of faith within God's pure grace.
Most amazingly of all, God our Heavenly Father also isn't a respecter of persons. He has predestined all mankind to be saved, yet still gives the option through free will that the sinner avail themselves of this salvation to receive God's gift of Eternal Life+++ Join us now for part 4 of our new series..."Eternal Security".
