Some believe in the notion that once a person is saved, once they give their life to the Lord, they are always saved. It is called the “once save, always saved” theology. In this teaching I use scriptures to refute that teaching. You will see here that the Word of God does not substantiate this position. You will learn that we have the assurance of faith through the grace and love of Jesus Christ, but we must show the evidence of salvation. If we do not show the evidence of salvation, which is growth in Christlikeness, we are not staying saved. This is part 2 of a 2-part teaching.

The process from redemption to glorification is a life-long process of internal transformation into become like Christ. This process begins at the point of salvation – when an individual accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and it continues until we die. Being saved is not all. We must change from the “old man” to the “new man” in Christ. So, you are saved, are you being transformed into Christlikeness.

The Pleasure Ladder, as taught by Rabbi Noach Weinberg, is a concept that outlines five levels of pleasure a person can experience, each progressively deeper and more meaningful. These levels are:

1. Physical Gratification: This is the most basic level of pleasure, involving sensory experiences such as eating, drinking, and physical comfort.
2. Love: This level is about giving and receiving love, fostering meaningful connections and relationships with others.
3. Meaning: At this stage, pleasure comes from having a sense of purpose and contributing to something greater than oneself, such as community service or meaningful work.
4. Creativity: This involves using one's talents and abilities to create and

When we learn how to love, we know how to live life with meaning. When we learn to love, we learn to cultivate healthy relationships that last. Love is how we address almost every problem in life. Love is our guiding force through difficulties. Love is the highest ideal of the human spirit. It leads us to be the best of who we are, and it is our bond with each other. When we have love, we inevitably have a life that matters and healthy relationships that last. The problem is most people either need to learn what love is or have only a partial understanding.

God still speaks. He wants to speak to us but are we listening? Are we looking in the wrong places for Him? He wants a relationship with us far more than we do. He wants to direct our every move far more than we could ever imagine and one way He will do so is to speak to us, to direct our every move. Listen to Him while He speaks through His Word, through life circumstances, through other people, and through His Holy Spirit. He still speaks! Listen!

We address some important questions and tackle a common misconception in the body of Christ. The pivotal question is, why did Jesus come to earth and now that He has come and gone, what's left for us to do? Do we really know what the Good News is and if we do how are we living it out?
