INTRO: We listened to a message by Adrian Rogers because we had some personal concerns. The message was titled, "Why did Jesus Choose Judas? Why would He want a dirty double crosser to represent him in the ministry?" What concerned us was Rogers strong teaching on unconditional eternal security. He said that one reason people told him they do not believe in eternal security is because of Judas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDHjCFZ_0Ys I believe that this teaching is one of today's teachings in the church that has brought the fear of God down to where many professing Christians who live in ungodliness are assured that they are going to heaven. There are times when I think I might have spoken out against that doctrine too much, but when I see what is happening in churches all over, I cannot but conclude that this teaching is one of the big reasons for today's lukewarm Christianity and then I feel I must do whatever I can to combat that. But, besides that, I realized that I had never really studied the life of Judas, and I believe that his life is a warning to every true believer in Jesus Christ. So, a question that is often asked is, "Can a believer lose his salvation?" I think that is not the real question. The real question is, "Can a believer forfeit or throw his salvation away?" And the answer is, "Yes!" One of the pieces of evidence for this is Judas.
