Irresistable Grace & Preservation of the Saints

Tom Shrader walks through the final two points of God's plan for salvation, explaining that the Holy Spirit regenerates the dead sinner before faith arises, not as a response to it. Drawing from John 3, Romans 8, Ephesians 2, and John 10, he shows that the Father elects, the Son atones, and the Spirit applies salvation effectually to every chosen life. He closes by grounding the preservation of the saints entirely in God's grip rather than human perseverance, assuring believers that nothing in creation can sever them from the love of God in Christ Jesus. “It's not me hanging on to God, it's God hanging on to me — and nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.” — Tom Shrader Series: God's Plan For Salvation Recorded in 1998 Duration: 38 min Themes: grace, salvation, Holy Spirit, security, regeneration, faith, assurance, God's love, doubting salvation, new believer, struggling with assurance, questioning faith, longtime churchgoer, seeker, young adult, feeling unworthy Topics: irresistible grace, effectual calling, perseverance of the saints, eternal security, regeneration, soteriology, Calvinism, preservation Scripture: John 3:3-8, John 3:36, John 6:47, John 10:27-29, Romans 1:7, Romans 5:8-9, Romans 8:30, Romans 8:31-39, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 1:3-4, Ephesians 2:1-8, Titus 2:14, Titus 3:3-6, 2 Timothy 1:8-9 — About Priority Living AZ — Priority Living AZ preserves the teaching legacy of Tom Shrader.
