Book Cover & Preview Text
Is “once-saved, always-saved” a Biblical concept? Or is it a convenient indulgence of the Christ-follower that allows for a waiver foreclosing all real accountability?
Sovereign Scriptural Segues answers this question with scriptural proof of God’s clearly stated requirements for salvation. The only thing a born-again Christian cannot lose is his or her accountability to God. For a long time, Biblical scholars, teachers, and ministers have debated whether or not true Christians can forfeit or in any way lose their salvation. A Christian is no fool and keeps by the power of God what he can keep to save what he can lose.
Since God’s Word decides, there should be no debate, yet there is.
The apostle Paul advises to prove all things, and Sovereign Scriptural Segues goes a long way toward proving that the reformed idea of unconditional security of the believer, popularly known as “once-saved, always saved”, has no scriptural evidence for support. The fallacy has led many away from the path of Christ.
If we rightly divide the life-giving words of scripture, we find that holiness, i.e. sanctification, is essential, as is justification, for entrance into heaven. The pursuit of a life lived by Biblical principles must be guided by accurately understanding God’s original, intended message. Much error can be found in the post-modern church, and this book aims to bring clarity and accuracy to the widespread misunderstanding and manipulation of scripture.
Knowing Jesus is eternal life. According to God’s Word, we are able to know Jesus as Lord and Savior if we keep His commandments and keep ourselves in the love of God. This book provides rarely pointed-out insights into the true meaning of the words given by Christ and the other holy authors of scripture. The author uses unique and innovative methods for learning and incorporating the sovereign words of Christ into your daily life. It is a hard-hitting, heart-gripping expose’ of God’s sovereign conditions for salvation.

About the Book
Many of Christ’s disciples abandoned Him, because they could not accept His “hard” teaching noted in the book of John, chapter 6. This hard-hitting book mirrors the words of eternal life that the Holy Scriptures provide, enabling those who respond by grace (favor/power), through faith to share (not possess) that very life. The sovereign statements made by Jesus Christ require much of those to whom much is given, and indicate the need for perseverance. Christ will not believe, repent, continue (segue) in faith, or persevere for us, but will daily empower us to be more than conquerors of sin and the world. We are not helpless against sin and temptation, and we are commanded to stop sin in our lives by God’s grace. With a unique approach to examining the sovereign scriptural segues presented throughout the Bible, this book will enlighten and hopefully inspire the reader to take a more serious look at all of God’s Holy Word—His messages to us that are critical for victorious Christian living. o Metaplasmic memory words o Post-modern, “Humpty-Dumpty” interpretation of Scripture o Biblical acronyms o In-depth analysis of Christ’s exact words and parables o Conventional Greek grammar tenses Much of Scripture is dedicated to correcting the tragedy of error which is prevalent in the lion’s share of Christian literature. The truth that is often eclipsed is uncovered here. This presentation aims to lead toward greater unity and conformity to God’s Will. To be—or not to be—in Christ.
