Bible Question: I would like to know verses supporting the doctrine that says once a Christian is saved they can not under any circumstances loose their salvation. The doctine commonly called once saved always saved. |
Bible Answer: Tamrenee: To the best of my understanding of the scriptures, there are no scriptures that teach, once saved, always saved. In the Book of Luke: I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. The Book of Acts: Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. The Book of 2 Peter: There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and, The sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire. The Book of Romans: But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. The Book of Revelation: Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and REPENT and do the deeds you did at FIRST; or ELSE I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place--UNLESS YOU REPENT; Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did NOT repent so as to give Him glory. The Book of Galatians: If you seek to be justified and declared righteous and to be given a right standing with God through the Law, you are brought to nothing and so separated (severed) from Christ. You have fallen away from grace (from God's gracious favor and unmerited blessing). The Book of Hebrew: Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that no one falls back from and fails to SECURE God's grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing), in order that no root of resentment (rancor, bitterness, or hatred) shoots forth and causes trouble and bitter torment, and the many become contaminated and defiled by it. The Book of John: Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he WILL KEEP My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him; IF you KEEP My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. All any of us can do is pray for understanding of His Word. Keep in mind the scripture which teach us, the devil himself believed and shook. We must ALWAYS obey His commandments if we are to be saved. Good luck, and God bless you. |
