Final Perseverance of
the Saints.
All that God Regenerates and Adopts
He Preserves Through Life and
Finally Saves Them la Heaven.
SERMON PREACHED BY REV. T. C.
TUCKER, AT NEW PROSPECT, IN
mclemore’s COVE, WALKER
COUNTY,GA , JULY 5tH.
If God be for ub who can be
against us. —Romans viii:32.
I bel’eve in regeneration; the
Bible clearly tenches it, as the fol
lowing texts will show : “Except
a man be born agaiu, he cannot see
the kingdom of God,” Jolin iii:3.
“Os his own will begat he us with
the word of truth, that we should
be a kind of first-fruits of His crea
tures.”—James i:18. “Being born
again, not of corruptible seed, but
incorruptible, by the Word of God,
which liveth and abideth tor ever.”
—I Peter i:23. "Whosoever is boro
of God doth not commit sin; be
cause His (God’s) seed remaineth
in him.,’ —I John iii:9.
Thus we are made the children
of God by regeneration and adop
tion. That, that is born of the
flesh is flesh ; that, that is born of
the spirit, is spirit. My Father
died because He was flesh ; I will
die likwise, and my children, be
cause we are flesh. But those that
are born of the spirit, haye an eter
nal Father, who is a spirit, that
carrot die; neither can his chil
dren die, for he that bvlieveth cn
the Son shall never die.—John xi:
26.
A man’s soul is acted upon in re
generation, and not his body. He
freui that timo sn through life
with the mind siryes the law of
Christ; his body is not sanctified
till death.
Christ gives eternal life to all
those bora of the spirit. Hear His
lti guage in the tenth chapter of
John : “I give unto them eternal
life ; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any pluok them out
of my hand.’’—John a:18.
My Father, which gave them
me, is greater than all; and none
is able to pluck them out of my fa
ther’s hand.—John x:29. Here we
ars taught he gives his sheep eter
nal life; they receive this gift when
they lielieve. It could not be eter
nal life, if it is ever to be euspan
ded or taken irom them.
Again, 'Christ says, “He that
heareth my word, and be’ievetb on
him that sent me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into con
demnation ; but is passed from
death unto life.” —John v:24. Here
we are taught that one believes and
receives everlasting life; if it is ev
er taken irom him. it is not ever
lasting.
Another grand truth we have in
the text just quoted, is, we shall not
come into condemnation ; but have
passu! from death unto life. Jesus
says, “becaube He lives, His chil
dren shall live also.”
But 1 will still add other strong
texts : “And this is the Father’s
will which hath seut me, that of
all which he hath given me I
should lose nothing, but should
raise it up again at the last day.”—
John vi:39.
Jeeus tells us in another place
that the Father has given Him
power over all flesh, that he should
give eternal life, to as many as the
Father bad given him.” —John vii:
2. ’ Those that believe on the Son,
are those that were given to Him.
He quickens them ; gives them the
spirit of adaption; keeps them by
His own power through life, and
raises them at the last day.
Jesus prayed to His Father, that
al! cl His might be With slim in
glory finally.—xyi,;24.
He praved for Peter that bis
t fa:tb m’ght not tali', and his faith 1
1 did not fail, i;otwit.betanding, be;
decit Christ. This proves that
: ?e.ei believed in Christ and lov-d
Him, and that bia sin was owing,
LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1883.
to his unsanotified flesh, that bo
had to contend with; ilie spirit
was w illing, but the flesh was weak;
he could not do the things that he
would. —Rom viii:ls. Paul tells
us all about this, he says whoti he
would do pood, evil is present with
him; so if he dueth that which
be would rot, it was no mere him
that doeth it, hut sin that dweileth
in him.
Peter’s faith failed not, because
be was kept by the power of God;
so all true believers “are kept by
the power of God through faith un
to salvation, ready to be revealed
in the last time.’’—l Peter i:5.
The believer is not ablo to keep
himself, but we have shown, tliut
he is kept by the power of God.
Jesus says those that come unto
Him, he will in no wiee cast out;
no man can come unto the Father,
but by Him, and no man can come
umo Him, except the Father which
sent Him, draw bin.—John vi:44.
So the sinner is made a beliaver by
the power of God ; kept from fall
ing by the power of God, and rais
ed up at the last day by the power
of God. So we see it is of free un
merited grace ; “not cf works, lest
any man should boast.” —Ephesi-
ans ii:9.
Faith is the gol len thread, upon
which we are kept; the thread
must be broken, before one believer
can be taken, (and it is the power
of God that kseps it from being
broken), if one can be taken, why
not all. If any power can over
come and take one of Christ’s chil
dren, alas 1 the same power ’"fly
take ail; but we are in Christ, “In
whom ye a'so trusted, after that ye
beard the word of truth, tbe gospel
of your salvation : in whom also,
after that you believed, ye were
sealed with that Holy Spirit 01
promise.”- Eph. i:l3. As Boon as
one believes, be is sealed by the
spirit, unto the day of the redemp
tion of the body. He (Christ)
that has begun a good work in us,
will perform it until the day of Je
sus Christ. —Phil. i:6. Then the
Believer receives the end of his
faith, which is the salvation of his
soul. —I Peter i:9. It his failh
should fail, the end would not be
sulvatioc, but damnation ; but the
believer is said to be dead and bis
life hid with Christ i.i God. —Col
iii:3. When Christ, who isour life
sha : l appear, then shall we appear
with Him in glory --Col. iii:4.
Hare we have Chrii t’s word for it,
that tbe believer is in Christ, and
Christ in God. Then I consider
the b-liever safe, very safe, locked
up in the great burglar proof safe,
till Christ brings him out in glory.
Noah shut them in. When the
great flood of waters had subsided,
they were all found in the ark.
Just as many as Gad shut in and
no more.
I don't reckon that Noah’s ark
was any better or safer than Christ,
which is represented as being the
ark cf safety. All that come into
Him, he will in no wise cast out.
But will raise him up at the last
day.—John vi:37, 39.
But I will bring in other proof
texts. Christ basset us free. “The
law of the spirit of life in Christ Je
sus hath made me free from the
law of sin ar.d death —Rom. viii'2.
“It the Son therefore shall make
ye free, ye shall be free indeed.”—
John viii:36.
The powers at Washington freed
the negroes, and the Constitution
of the United States will have to be
changed before they can be put
back in bondage again. This might
be possible, for this was all done
by trail, the result of bard fought
battles ; but tbo-e that Christ has
freed from tbe law of sin and death,
are free indeed, are free forever.
“Sin shall cot have dominion over
you : fur ye are r.ot un ter the law,
but under grace.—Rom. vi:l4.
Satan, the arch enemy, and
prime mover of ill ovil, desirt-a to
have us all, that he might sift ns as
wheat, and we all will be sifted; but
the wheat will not ipll threttgh the i
sieve. Christ Will gather His wheat j
into His garner.
Jesus Christ gave Hiuisefi for us,
thus bought us with his own pre
cious blood ; paid the lew all it re
quired , brought of but from under
'l: sH us free; made us citizens of
Ilia everlasting kingdom; made
us heirs, and joint heirs with Hun
self. So with every temptation II»
makes a wav for our escape.
The trial of our faith is much
more prcciou3 than cf gold that
perisheth, though it he tried with
fire, might be found unlo praise
and honcr acd glory at ihe appear
ing of Jesus Christ. The way to
heaven is through trials, and some
times through great persecutions,
but Christ said to his disciples be
of good cheer I have overcome the
world.
God deals with His children,
whom he converted and received to
Hitr.Belf, as a father deals with his
sons, whom he loveth he chastcn
eth, and soourgeth every son whom
he receivetb. —Heb. xii:6. But if
ye he without chastisement, where
of all are partakers, then are ye
bastards and not sons. —Heb. xii:B.
We may be made to weep on
the account of sin, as did Peter.
David sinned and the recollection
of it burnt on Ins conscience ns
coals of fire. Read the 51st Psalm
and you can learn the depth of bis
grief. Yes wo groan in these bo
dies being huidered, for the true
believer lutes sin. He that docs
not love God and his people with u
pure heart fervently, is without ev
idence that he is of God, lor he that
commits sin with impunity, and
feels not Borrow, deep sorrow of
heart, is of tbe devil. How slia'l
we that are dead to sin, live any
longer therein? —Rom. vi:2^
God never does His work over,
for it never needs doing over.
When He mukes' one a cbi'd by
adoption, He kuows what he has
done and what he will do, an 1
therefore can say, I never will cist
him out. David said it was good
fir him that he was afflicted;
the chastisement had the desired
effect —in bringing him back to
God. So if we be Gyd’s children
He chastises us foi our sins, but
will not coat us out, but will ia>ee
ue tip at the last day.
This idea that God regenerate a
maD, twice or mors, is absurd and
ucscriptural; once a child, always
a child ; once in grace, always in
Clitist.
Christ came into the world to
destroy the works of the Devil. lie
finds the Devil in every heart; He
binds him, carts him out, and
spoils bis goods, He could not do
this, if be was not stronger than tbe
Devil. Will the Devil come and
re-enter the man’s heart, and cast
out Chrirt and spoil His goods ? If
he Can, this will be III* Devil des
troying God’s work. If any of
Christ’s elect are deceived hy the
Devil, and finally wake up in hell,
the Devil can boast and say, while
Christ was deitroying some of ’my
works I destroyed His, here are
some of His boasted elect in hell
with me. No, it can never be, God
wilt not leave us or forsake us.
Homo profess to love Christ, but
soon go back, like theeow that was
washed, to her wallowing in the
mire, or like the dog to his own
vomit John says, “They went
out from ue, but they were
Upt of us; for if they had been of
us, they would no doubt have con
tinued with us: but they went out,
that they might be made manifest
that they were not all of us.” —I
John ii:l9. Those that are not burn
of God, will not stand when they
are tried, for Jesus says, every
plant that His Heavenly Father
has not planted, shall be rhotod up
He that built upon the sand, did it
with as much cutifidci.ee as lie that
was on tbe reck, till the storms
oame ; but when they Oarne, lie fell,
because be was ou the sand ; hut
ho that was oi. tbe rock (Christ) did
not fall, because lie was on the
rock.
“Rock of /kgoe cleft for mo,
Let mo hide myself in lice. 1 '
Y<s, Christ wi.l save in Heaven,
all Ho receives and regentnitae.
Believing this I thank God and
take courage, knowing our work is
not in vain in the Lord. Believing
this, we can sing umlersUcdingly
“Dear, dying hawk. Thy preofail* blood
Shall never lose its power:
Till a.l the ran-ow c! inch of tiod,
Be saved tu sin no lucre.”
And again we can fang feelingly:
“When i forget Him and wander away.
I know He doth love tue wheriver I
stray,
Hook to his ik'.i loving arms would I
tloe, .
When I rcincmoer that Josus lov.s
me.”
Jesus said to tue woman at tl o 1
well, that lie could give her liv ng
witter, ’hat Would spring up onto
everlasting life 'lhe watirtlint T
shall give him, shall tie in him a
well of water, springing up into ev
erlasting life.—John iv:4. Thus
the grace of God in the heart, con
tinues to preserve and sanctify the
believer, till lie is brought up to
that high standard of purity that is
Christ Him jelf,
Jesus tells us in the sixth chap
ter of John,' that Hois the bread of
life. lam the living bread which
came down iroin Heaven, if any
man eat of this bread lie shall live
forever. So denr dying child of
God, if you liavo drank of this liv
ing water, and .ate of thia bread of
life, you will not die but live for
ever.
It has been said by some, that to
preach, that a believer cannot sin
so as to be lost, is a very dangerous
doctrine. I don’t so consider it.
Hie doctrine of the final persever
ance of the saints, when rightly
understood, is very fu'l of comfort
to the believer, and full of honor to
God, and great good to the Church.
I think tlfe many passages of
Scripturo that I liav 3 brought for
ward and grouped together, with
others that I could bring, clearly
prove, that al! of th 'se whom God
has regenerated, will he kept from
total apoatney through life, and fi
nally he with Christ in glory. The
Bible does not contradict itself, and
these Sir ptures that I have quo
ted, are incontestable and will riot
he exp’ninod away.
I will read a few passages in the
eighth chapter of Romans: "All
tilings work together for good to
them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his pur
pose. For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be con
folded to the image of his Son
that lie might be the first-horn
among many brediren. Moreover
whom lie did predestinate, them
be also call'd;and whom he called,
them he also glorified. What shall
we ih'n say to these things?”
What will my friend here on the
stand with mo, say to them? He
can’t cay anything uganst them,
he will not attempt it, but let us
read futber; “If God ho for u ,
who ran be against us? He tl'mt
spared not his own Son, hut dcliv
ered him up for us all, how shall
he not with him also freely give
us all things? Christ came to us;
found us in our sins; washed us in
His own precious blood, and mur
ried us, and assumed all our debts
The question is, will he now aban
don us? No neycr, for “Those
whom be loved he never leaves,
but lovei them to the end.”
But I wilfread again, “Who Shall
separate us from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine or naked
ness, or peril, or sword ?” Don’t it
make our hearts leap for joy, to
know that none cf the things nam
ed above, can separate its from tbe
love of God. Nay, in all these
things we are more tlmn Coll
querors, through him Unit loved us.
Kof lam persuaded, that neither
death, noV life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, ttor
things present, nor things tu come.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to sep
arate us horn die love of God,
which Is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Bin had reparated us from God
blit that was what Christ came for,
to bring us to God.
He blotted out otir sins, and re
moved them hs 'far fiicn us, as
lie East is from Ihe Wed, aud sin
shall t.ot have dominion over us.
We have commitfid our souls to
Christ for safe keeping, and we are
pcisuuded that. In is able to keep
that which wo have commi tied to
Ins trust.

' r he fjlloing pit„e of litcraiur«-
goey the rounds of the Preys about
once in *v>ry generation. Cut it
out and save it, it’s too good to be
done without.
A oeardleßg disciple of Themis
rises and thus addresses the cour*:
“May it please your worship and
yon, gentlemen of the jury, since it
bus boon my fortune (good or had.
I will not sny.) to exercise inyeeil
in legal disquisition, it has never
befallen me to be obliged to prose
cute so d'ri fully marked an assault.
A more wilful, violent and danger
ous battery, atd finally a more dia
bolical breach of pence, has seldom
happened in a civilised country,
and I dare say it has seldom been
your duty to pass upon oiie so
shocking to benevolent feelings, us
this which took place over at C'upt.
lfuc's in t is county, but j\ru will
hear from the witnesses”
T.ie v itoesses being sworn, iwo
or three were exam in cl and depos
ed. Otic said lie heard the noisa
but did not see the fight; another
that he saw the row hut did not
know who struck first, and another
that he was vciy drunk and
couldn't say much about the scrim
mage.
Lawyer Chop—f am sorry gen
tlemen; to hove oecu|i d your
time with stupidity of ito witnesses
examined. It nris'-s, gchtlemen,
altogether from a misapprehension
on my part. Had I known as I
do, that 1 had n witness who wos
acquainted with all the circumstan
ces of the case, and who was able
to make hiuuelf understood to
court and jury, I should not have
trespat sod so long on your patience.
Come forwurd, Mr. Harris, and be
sworn.
Ho farward comes the witness, n
fut, chutfy old man, a “Untie"
corned, and took las oalli with an

Chops—Harris we wish you to
tell about the rLt that happened
the other day at Cupt. Rico's and
as a good deal of lime bos already
hem wasted in ti-cumlocutioD, we
wish you to be compenduous, at
h? same time as explicit as porsi

Harris—Adisukly (giving the
lawyer a khowing wink, at the
same time c'ouring his throat.)
