0:00.0	Today I'm going to respond to a video on what is Lordship Salvation.
0:06.9	I wanted to take some time and explain that this is not just a dissecting of Lordship
0:11.5	Salvation, but I wanted you to hear from a very popular video by God questions, and he
0:16.9	systematically kind of walks through it. And I want to more explain the confusion behind
0:21.2	Lordship Salvation. They say a lot of things that are correct. And then there's a lot that's just
0:27.0	confusing where we're mixing the law and the gospel. So today is a good example of looking at an
0:32.5	explanation of what Lord's Job Salvation, what is good, what is confusing, and what I would say
0:36.6	we need to absolutely
0:37.5	fix. Stay tuned. Before we jump in today's episode, though, let's take a moment and reflect and look to
0:43.8	Christ. There's a subtle shift that happens in the heart. It sounds spiritual at first. If I
0:50.2	submit enough, if I obey consistently, if I surrender fully, then I'll finally know I am saved.
0:56.7	But notice what just happened. Assurance quietly moved from Christ's finished work to your present
1:03.4	performance. Submission is good. Obedience matters. Holiness is real. But submission is the fruit of salvation, not the foundation of it.
1:14.0	If you look to your submission to prove your salvation, you will either become proud or terrified.
1:20.7	Proud when you think you are doing well, terrified when you see how inconsistent you are.
1:26.8	The enemy loves this trap. He does not always tempt
1:30.1	you into rebellion. Sometimes he tempts you into introspection. He pushes you to measure, analyze,
1:36.8	and inspect your surrender until your eyes are no longer on Christ but on yourself. But the gospel never says, submit so that you may be saved.
1:49.8	It says, believe the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Submission flows from faith. It does not create it.
1:58.4	When you trust Christ, the spirit unites you to him. From that union flows
2:03.5	repentance, and from that union flows obedience, and from that union flows submission. You do not
2:10.9	submit in order to know you are saved. You trust Christ, and because you are saved, you begin to submit.
