Bible Question:
I am a member of the Assembly of God Church and have been for 13 years. I have been taught that one can lose their salvation by taking themselves out of God's hands. But, I am wondering HOW can one remove themselves from God's hands? If you can remove yourself, wouldn't that mean that salvation was of works and not grace through faith? I would appreciate all views on this--both sides. Thank you. Janae |
Bible Answer: I don't believe you can lose salvation. Because when you are born again it is an eternal thing. Jesus said in John 5:24 the person that believes has eternal life right now. 1 John 5:13 says we already have eternal life. Eternity never ends. If our eternal life was taken from us it would have to have an end. It would'nt be eternal. It would be like saying infinity stopped. That's impossible. For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He has given His grace or to whom He sends His call] Roman 11:29 |
