Pastor/Dr. David Murphy reminds us of the Holy Spirit's work in the believer's life and eternal security, as seen throughout Romans chapter 8. In verse 16, we see that the Holy Spirit places the believer in the body of Christ as God's son. As we study verse 16, Pastor Murphy addresses four points:

1-The misconception that the Holy Spirit is not a person, because of the grammar used.

2-The misapprehension about the text that torments believers, because they haven't experienced a supernatural voice to confirm that they are a child of God.

3-The Biblical meaning, that the Spirit brings us to persuasion that we are the sons of God, and

4-A practical word about security: that your assurance may vary, because the human spirit is imperfect on Earth, but the Holy Spirit will bring you back.

Pastor/Dr. David Murphy continues to show us that the believer is a son of God, and a son of God can enjoy the assurance of eternal security as God's heir. We'll continue to see what it means to being a son of God (4 of 7 ways):

4-God protects us,

5-He provides for us as His children,

6-He is always ready to listen and grant an audience with Him, and

7-God leads His sons and daughters by a-acting on the mind, b-working on our hearts and desires, and c-by acting on our will.

Pastor/Dr. David Murphy continues to show us that the believer is a son of God, and a son of God can enjoy the assurance of eternal security as God's heir. We'll see that Scripture seeks to 1-give absolute certainty that you can know that you belong to the Lord and 2-seeks to destroy false assurance on those who are not truly saved through a theological test, a moral test, and social test. We'll then see what it means to being a son of God (3 of 7 ways):

1-God loves us in a special, peculiar way,

2-He plans for us, and

3-He chastens us.

Pastor/Dr. David Murphy continues our study of Chapter 8 and the doctrine of Eternal Security. Today, we'll see that if the previous arguments are true: that there's no condemnation for the believer, and the believer is no longer under the Law, and the believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit; then the believer is a son of God, and a son of God can enjoy the assurance of eternal security as God's heir. We'll see three of five points regarding a son of God:

1-Not all are the sons of God,

2-The Christian alone is a child of God, and

3-How the believer became the son of God.

Pastor/Dr. David Murphy continues to discuss the Biblical Doctrine of Sanctification, or as Paul says "mortifying the body". We'll review the first two key elements to biblical sanctification:

1-Understanding the truth of who you are as a Christian

2-Requires action on part of the believer (we'll seenegative & positive commands)

And then see two more key elements to biblical sanctification:

3-The assistance of the Holy Spirit, and

4-An ongoing battle until you die.
