Bible Question: Why do Christians believe there is no such thing as "Once saved always saved? |
Bible Answer: Perhaps because we, as humans, really cannot grasp the concept of eternity and feel that we must continue to earn salvation. In the OT, especially Exodus, God laid the law down to Moses as to how Jews (believers) could get into heaven. However, in the NT, the law was summarized into one commandment (see also Rom 13:9-10). Is eternal salvation really as simple as repenting and accepting the gift of Jesus Christ? Yes, and once you do, you cannot give the gift back. Now, you can fall off the path and end up still going to Hell. But that is another discussion. |
