The Bible Says Podcast (video)

Fear is a powerful motivator, but it is a terrible foundation for the Christian life. In this episode of The Bible Says Podcast, we continue the conversation on eternal security and ask the question behind so many anxious thoughts: once you are saved, can you ever be lost again? This is not about giving people an excuse to sin. It is about understanding what God actually says salvation is, what Christ accomplished, and why assurance should produce peace with God instead of pride, fear, or carelessness. We begin in Romans 5 with justification and the believer’s peace with God, then move through the honest struggle of Romans 7. Every serious Christian knows what it is to battle the flesh, stumble, grieve over sin, and wonder why the struggle is still there. But Paul does not end in despair. He lands in Romans 8: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” From there, we talk through why translation details can sometimes confuse readers, why “no condemnation” matters, and why the end of Romans 8 is just as important as the beginning: nothing can separate the believer from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. We also address one of the hardest objections: “What if someone walks away?” That leads us into the difference between a true believer and a mere professor, with examples like Judas and Demas. Not everyone who claims Christ has been born again, and that matters when we talk about assurance. Finally, we unpack several of the “big scary” passages often used against eternal security, including Galatians 5, Hebrews 6, and Hebrews 10. These passages deserve careful handling, and context changes everything. If you want stronger Christian assurance without watering down holiness, this episode is for you.

If you have ever wondered whether one failure can erase your faith, you are not alone. The question matters because the stakes are huge: either salvation depends on our ability to keep ourselves clean, or it depends on what God actually does when He saves. In this episode of The Bible Says Podcast, we take on the doctrine commonly called eternal security or once saved, always saved. But instead of treating it like a slogan, we go straight to Scripture and ask a better question: what actually happens when a person is saved? We break salvation down into three biblical categories that clear up a lot of confusion: justification, sanctification, and glorification. Justification is the moment God declares the believer righteous by faith in Christ. Sanctification is the growth process that follows, with real progress, real conviction, and real stumbles. Mixing those two together is where many arguments against eternal security gain traction. From John 3, we look at what it means to be born again, then connect that to 1 Peter 1 and the incorruptible seed of the Word of God, an inheritance that does not fade away, and a salvation that is kept by the power of God. We also walk through John 10, where Jesus says His sheep are held securely in His hand and the Father’s hand. Then we tackle the practical objections. If salvation can be lost, where exactly is the line? How many sins are too many? What kind of failure cancels the new birth? We discuss why self-keeping collapses under God’s standard, why Jesus defines sin at the heart level, and why assurance has to rest on Christ rather than our performance. We also talk about being sealed by the Holy Spirit as God’s earnest payment, the difference between relationship and fellowship through the prodigal son, and Romans 4 on imputed righteousness and sin not being charged to the believer’s account.

The first Christians did not have Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, or a completed New Testament to point people to Jesus. So how did they prove that Jesus was the Messiah? They preached from the Old Testament. In this episode of The Bible Says Podcast, we continue our study of how the early church used the Scriptures to show that Jesus is the promised Christ. We walk through specific messianic prophecies that point directly to His betrayal, crucifixion, resurrection, and mission. We begin in Zechariah 11, where the Messiah is connected to thirty pieces of silver, money thrown in the house of the Lord, and a potter. Then we follow those details into Matthew 26–27, where Judas betrays Jesus and the silver is later used to buy the potter’s field. From there, we connect the Passover lamb to the crucifixion account in John 19, showing why the command that no bone be broken matters. We also look at Psalm 16 and Peter’s sermon in Acts 2, where the resurrection of Christ is presented not as a later Christian invention, but as something already promised in Scripture. A major focus of this conversation is Isaiah 53, one of the clearest Old Testament pictures of the suffering Messiah. We discuss the rejected servant who bears sin, is wounded for transgressions, and is cut off from the land of the living. We also address common objections, including the claim that these passages were changed later, and why the Dead Sea Scrolls matter when discussing texts like Isaiah. Finally, we turn to Isaiah 61 and Luke 4, where Jesus reads in the synagogue and stops mid-verse, pointing to the difference between His first coming as Savior and His future return as King. This episode is about more than prophecy charts or apologetics. It comes back to the question Jesus asked His disciples: Who do you say that I am?

What if you didn’t have the New Testament—could you still prove that Jesus is the Messiah? In this episode, we explore how the earliest followers of Jesus made their case using only the Old Testament Scriptures. Starting with the Road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we examine how Jesus himself pointed back to Moses and the prophets to reveal his identity. From there, we follow the same approach in Acts—Philip explaining Isaiah 53 to the Ethiopian official, and Apollos boldly proving from Scripture that Jesus is the Christ. We also tackle common objections head-on:  Was the Bible altered to make Jesus “fit” prophecy?   Could Jesus have staged fulfillments to appear legitimate?   How reliable are the Old Testament manuscripts?  We dig into the historical evidence behind the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls, showing why we can trust that these prophecies existed long before Jesus. Then we get practical. We break down key Messianic prophecies, including:  Micah 5:2 – The Messiah born in Bethlehem   Isaiah 7:14 – The virgin birth   Hosea 11:1 – “Out of Egypt I called my son”   Psalm 22 – A detailed picture of crucifixion, written centuries before it existed  If you care about apologetics, evangelism, or understanding your Bible at a deeper level, this episode gives you a clear framework for seeing Jesus throughout the Old Testament.  👉 Subscribe for more Bible-focused deep dives  👉 Share this with someone who asks tough questions  👉 Leave a review to help others discover the show Question: What Old Testament passage should we connect to Jesus next? #BibleStudy #ChristianApologetics #JesusIsMessiah #FaithAndEvidence #OldTestament #BibleTruth Old Testament prophecy fulfillment   دفاع المسيح
