NASB | Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace [God's remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; |
Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos, If we don't trust Jesus, we have no faith. If we have no faith, we have no grace. If we have no grace we cannot live a sin free life. In other words if we can't trust Jesus for the grace we need to live a sin free life it is only because we choose not to turn away from sin (repent) not because He cannot provide the grace we need in order to live a sin free life. And if we are sinning, we are not saved, regardless of what most religions teach today. Jesus certainly does not teach this. Most only want to confess their sins and go on about their buisness, however the key to salvation is to repent. We need to look this word up and see if we really did our part before we profess salvation. Two things for sure, we can loose something we have, but we can't loose something that we never had. And if we know that we have it, we'll know when we loose it, however this feeling may only last for a short time(reprobate). In Christ, Lanny |
