In this week's episode Steve and Rich cover something that is crucial for believers to understand. It has a lot to do with our identity and our security in Christ. It is also something that is heavily debated amongst Christians even to this day. Eternal security is what is being discussed and if you haven't listened to the last two episodes on salvation, we would highly encourage you to do that. Rich asks the question, if God is the one who saves what is it that could possibly be done to become unsaved? Steve cautions that the enemy can really use mind games when a believer does not take the time to understand that their salvation is secure. If eternal life can be lost, is it actually eternal? Lots of scripture is referenced to support these questions and answers. Rich points out that Romans 8 states that once someone is in God's love through faith in Jesus they are there. No exceptions. Steve brings up the idea that if salvation can be lost then the question becomes what sin is the final straw? What exactly is the sin that would cause the salvation to be lost? The discussion then turns to what happens when someone "walks away" from the faith? There is a lot packed into these 23 minutes and will definitely continue in next week's episode. Make sure you come back next week!
