God Said If

The fourth story in the Chosen to Serve series deals with a hotly disputed topic in the Christian faith - Unconditional Eternal Security, or Once Saved, Always Saved. As in so many things of Scripture, there is more than one-way things may be looked at. Differing views and understandings lead to different doctrines. What makes it interesting is that each viewpoint can refer to Scripture to support their view!

Jimmy is sent to minister to a Baptist pastor who holds to the doctrine, not to tell him he is wrong, but to share faith in Christ and a love for the Word of God.

The discussions between the two men become much more than just a doctrinal debate, as individuals, families and churches are ultimately involved. It's a story of brotherly love and respect as the two men share their understandings and convictions.

All Believers are subject to being deceived, which is why the Apostle Paul repeated his warning - "Do not be deceived." Our own biases and upbringing so often cause us to not see what is clearly stated in God's Book. But if we are to hope to see clearly enough to help get the speck from our Brother's eye, we must stay diligent to get the beam out of our own eye!
