This document discusses the conditional nature of God's grace and salvation. It provides several biblical examples of people who rejected God's grace through stubborn rebellion and unrepentant sin. The scriptures show that true believers can fall from grace if they neglect their salvation and turn to lust and ungodliness. God does not tolerate sin but disciplines and may condemn those who despise His grace. Overall, the document argues that salvation is secure only for those who live faithfully to Christ; backsliding and willful sin can lead to rejection if unrepented.

1. Checks to Unconditional Covenants 6
Checkmarks Supporting Conditional
Covenants

2. Sound Doctrine Should Endure
• In the first session we saw that there
would come a time when Christians
would not endure sound doctrine

3. Grace Is What Saves Lost Mankind
• Without grace not a single person
could be saved.
• The grace of God is the complete plan of
redemption secured for all mankind by God’s
only begotten son JESUS.

4. Grace Is Not For Granted

5. Do Not Take God’s Grace for Granted

6. Clear Scriptural Evidence
• Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so
great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken
by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that
heard him;
• How Indeed?
• 1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall.

7. Do Not Abuse God’s Grace
• The Bible repeatedly warns Christians of the
danger of abusing God’s grace.
• If God did not spare Israel, His chosen people,
when they rebelled against Him, He will
hardly spare backsliders who do the same
things.

8. Clear Scriptural Reasoning
• Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the
natural branches, take heed lest he also spare
not thee.
• What does the term “take heed lest his spare
not thee” mean if grace is unconditional?

9. An Old Testament Principle
• In the Old Testament, a son that was
incurably “stubborn” and “rebellious” was
stoned to death:
• while we are not in the old Testament now
we do have more light and with the light
comes accountability.

10. Is it Death that Saves Us?
• Does God Kill to Preserve the State of Grace?
• When loving parents had done all they could to
correct their son, after they had chastened him many
times:
• Deuteronomy 21:18 If a man have a stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his
father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when
they have chastened him, will not hearken unto
them:

11. if he still refused to be corrected,
• God commanded the parents to drag him to
the gate of the city where he was to be
stoned to death!
• These heartbroken parents did not do this to
keep their son from falling from grace; they
did it because he had gone too far.

12. Real Children Are Chastised

13. Proves to Be Incurably Rebellious
• However, if he proves to be incurably rebellious
he is “rejected”
• Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward,
when he would have inherited the blessing, he
was rejected: for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully with
tears.

14. That “evil servant” will be cast into hell
• Matthew 24:48-51 But and if that evil servant shall
say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And
shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat
and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant
shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and
in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him
asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.

15. You Can Sell Your Birthright
• Just as Esau sold his earthly birthright, it is possible for Christians
to sell their heavenly birthright
• 1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall.
• Hebrews 12:15-16 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and
thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane
person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

16. Security in Christ
• Those who base their security in the Lord Jesus Christ,
living faithfully to Him, following him and obeying
him are completely secure.
• Backsliders who believe the LORD will tolerate
rebellion and will wink at sin because they have been
saved under an unconditional covenant are sailing
under a false sense of security.

17. Sins Against Grace
• Let’s look at some of the sins that are listed
that are against the grace of God.
• These scriptures would be meaningless if
grace is absolutely secured regardless of our
beliefs or behaviour.

18. 1. Receive Grace in Vain
• 2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers
together with him, beseech you also that ye
receive not the grace of God in vain.)

19. 2. Frustrate the Grace
• Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of
God: for if righteousness come by the law,
then Christ is dead in vain.

20. 3. Fail of the Grace
• Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any
man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and
thereby many be defiled;

21. 4. Fall from Grace
• Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect
unto you, whosoever of you are justified by
the law; ye are fallen from grace.

22. 5. Despise Grace
• Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment,
suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who
hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and
hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing,
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

23. 6. Turn Grace Into Lust
• Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in
unawares, who were before of old ordained
to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning
the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
Jesus Christ.

24. These Scriptures Are the Record
• The scriptures above apply to the grace of
God
• Whether this is directed to false teachers; or
not, it applies to anyone saved or unsaved
who try to use God’s grace for a cover for sin.

25. Christians Are Not Prevented
• To constantly claim that a Christian cannot
commit these sins or to say God will not
allow a saved person to backslide so far as to
totally fall away is a stubborn refusal to
believe the simple and clear language of the
Word of God.

26. Why Be Concerned about Judgement?
• If the state of grace is permanent why be
concerned with:
• 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 For if we would judge
ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But
when we are judged, we are chastened of the
Lord, that we should not be condemned with
the world.

27. Condemned with the World
• Just what do you think being “condemned with
the world” actually means?
• Paul uses the term “we” that is to say those who
have received the grace and the mercy of God
through faith
• Those who salvation is secure BUT Could be
condemned with the world!

28. Consider the Consequences
• Surely this will all will needs to be considered
• Unfortunately there are a lot of scriptures
grossly misinterpreted simply because people
do not understand the context of the English
that is used.

29. Righteousness is a mystery
• unrighteousness is a mystery
• The kingdom of God is a mystery
• The word of God does not contradict itself and if
it appears to do so it is because we don’t
understand the real meaning.
• Our perception of what its meaning is has
become flawed

30. The Record of the Scriptures
• The new covenant and the grace of God is
conditional.
• At any given moment we are either pleasing
or displeasing God
• The consequences of unrepentant sin always
remain the same.
