1 | Once Save; Always Saved? | John 6:37 | J.D. MacDonald | 15038 | ||
Once Saved; always Saved. I've believed in this since I am Saved. I believe that Christ will take you home before you fall into oblivion. Isn't there scripture to depict this? I allude to where I believe Paul writes that "...neither death nor principalities. . .shall take you from my hand." So, based on this premise, I believe in total Salvation; not saying that we can now go out and commit murder/adultery and etc... Can you please elucidate and edify? Much appreciate bothering you with my issue - just have the burning/hunger for Christ. Very Respectfully, J.D. |

2 | Once Save; Always Saved? | John 6:37 | Risen | 15039 | ||
Welcome J.D. Our faith, assurance, and life is in the resurrected, living, Holy, great God and Savior, Jesus Christ! Our security is in the One who has Eternal Life to give, Jesus Christ! I hope the following verses will lift up, build up and will keep us looking up. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do My will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the last Day. For My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:37-40) I believe God. His words here tell me that Christ will not reject a person who believes in Him. To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God - children not born of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. (John :12,13) Born again, born of the Spirit, a new creation in Christ, by faith in Him, according to His will, by His grace. I believe God. Whoever believes in Christ, He will not reject, whoever receives Christ has been born of God, and He will not lose anyone that is given to Him. Hebrews 10:14...By one sacrifice He has made perfect forever, those who are being made holy. Notice He didn't say those who are making themselves holy. Christ makes you holy. How? Because He dwells, lives, abides in you, and He is Holy. Because you are born of God, born of the Spirit. In addition to being totally forgiven, the child of God has inherited an awesome position before God that is as Permanent and Secure as his salvation! The Word of God clearly testifies to the Christian's inheritance. Totally Forgiven: Colossians 2:13,14..."When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us (All) our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; He took it away, nailing it to the cross." Reconciled to God: Romans 5:10...If, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! Justified: Romans 3:23,24...All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Saved by Grace: Ephesians 2:8,9...It is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. Peace with God: Romans 5:1...Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. There are more. To sum it up Romans 8:38,39...I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. YBIC P.S. Did you notice in the first verse Christ will raise us up at the last day. He said it twice. Food for thought. |
