2 | Can you loose your salvation? | OT general | fran1947 | 82159 | ||
there is a theory that people use"once saved always saved, but Proverbs 14:14 says the backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: once we come to Christ and He forgive us for our sins, we are a new creature in Christ. old things has passed away and we are renewed and forgiven, and we are brought back to te holy state that we were in before Adam and Eve sined. and as we see the light of God we are to walk there in. not yeilding to the right or to the left. when we focus on Jesus the man that died for us and walk according to his statue we are his disciples. once we have been forgiven for our sin we have to strive daily to stay in his perfect will. but if we should become in our selves, pleasing ourselves instead of pleasing God. then we are on our way of becoming a backsliker. you see when we backslide God dosn't leave us we leave him. and once we have backed away from our calling then we are in a backslidden condition. part 2 of you question was how.just by drifting away from God and not lett him have complete control of our lives. and to back slike dose not come over night it is a process, so when we feel ourselves slipping away from God it behooves us to still away go down on our knees and ask the Lord to have mercy please. God has given us instruction in his holy word as to how to live holy. and when we feel ourselves moving to far form the word then we are back sliding. and lest not do that . God Bless and keep you. | ||||||
3 | Can you loose your salvation? | OT general | jbw | 82171 | ||
Ephesians 2 verse 8 reads as follows: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God. I think this is one of the most controversial questions of all times. The Lord gives gifts without repentance. Salvation is a gift from God. While a person is in the womb they are given innate abilites from God. It is there's whether they choose to use them or not. I believe that the Gift of God which is salvation is the same. I am a singer that is my innately gift from birth. I don't sing in a choir and I don't much of anything with my gift these days. But when I hear my favorite song come on. Trust me I can pull notes from heaven and I actually bellow the song out. The word even states that we are ingrafted into the Lord hands and that no man can pluck us out. The Lord Jesus said that He and His father would come in and make there abode in us. Lastly the word often reminds us of that we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. I believe that a saved person can fall into sin and yes wallow in it and still be saved. I BELEIVE THAT. I also believe that in your sin if you constantly ask the Lord to forgive you of that sin. He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness in the way that would bring him all the glory. The bible talks of a man having a 100 sheep and loosing one with the man going back for that one. Now in my mind I would leave the one because I have 99 and I know that they would eventually reproduce and bring me maybe even a trillion more. But thank the Lord for Jesus and His thoughts not being like ours. He goes after that one as if he were the only one on the earth. Isn't that wonderful!!!!! I believe that the enemy tricks people into thinking that they have committed a sin that the Lord cannot forgive. And God forbid if you find yourself in a sin that's hard to shake (like sex or whatever your weakness is because everybody has one)and you find yourself wallowing in it. You oftentimes would say forget it the Lord will not hear or forgive this. But I'm here to tell you that if you continue to tell it to Jesus each time you are in whatever it might be. Continue to confess that sin/act to God and He will cleanse you from that sin and all unrighteousness. Just remember to keep telling it to the Lord because He is faithful and just to forgive and wash us thoroughly..remember to say at the cross with it..with your sin...So I believe that nothing shall separate me from the Love of God, not tribulation, persecution, distress, peril, famine....No you cannot loose your salvation....But you will be judge for what you have done in this body once excepting him....this is just my thoughts.... | ||||||
