Once Saved

Introduction Mat. 13:3-9, 18-23
Shall we continue in sin?

Romans 6
Romans 12:1-2
Rom. 12.1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom. 12.2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Falling from grace.
1. Luke 15
2. Acts 8:9-24
3. II Cor. 7:8-12
  2Cor. 7.8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
  2Cor. 7.9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
  2Cor. 7.10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
  2Cor. 7.11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
  2Cor. 7.12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
4. Rev. 2:4-5, 14-16, 20-26 & Rev. 3:4-5, 15-19
5. James 5:16-20
  James 5.16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
  James 5.17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
  James 5.18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
  James 5.19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
  James 5.20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
6. II Peter 2:1-22
What must we do?
1. Faith without works James 2:14-26
2. Add to your faith. II Pet.1:1-12
3. Bare fruit. John 15:1-6
  John 15.1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
  John 15.2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
  John 15.3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
  John 15.4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
  John 15.5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
  John 15.6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
4. What kind of fruit Gal. 5:19-24
  Gal. 5.19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
  Gal. 5.20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
  Gal. 5.21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
  Gal. 5.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
  Gal. 5.23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
  Gal. 5.24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
5. Grow
  1. Heb. 5:8 - 6:1-6
  2. Eph. 4:11 - 5:4
  3. II Pet. 3:17-18
    2Pet. 3.17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
    2Pet. 3.18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Judgment
1. Rev. 20:11-15
  Rev. 20.11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
  Rev. 20.12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
  Rev. 20.13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
  Rev. 20.14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

  Rev. 21.8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
3. II Cor. 5:10
  II Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
