Eternal Security Of The Believer
March 26, 2017
No one has ever been physically born twice. Have you ever known anybody that was born twice physically? And nobody has ever been born twice spiritually. That’s the reason we believe in the eternal security of the believer.
Nowhere in the entire Bible will you find a place that describes anyone being saved twice. You can’t find it! That would be similar to going out to almost six billion people on the face of the Earth and trying to find one who’s born twice physically. It can’t be done. Once you come into the family, you’re in the family.
Now there were times when I disappointed my parents. There were times when my father had to chastise me, but I was still a Rogers. I am a Rogers. I will be a Rogers for all eternity. Even when my body ceases, when I die and go into the grave, there’s no way that I can ever be anything other than what I was when I was born. No way!
And spiritually, when we are born into the family of God, our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and there’s a completion that is done. It is fixed. Jesus said to “rejoice that your names are written in the book of life.” A birth is a completion. It is done.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
