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.

Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Lanny, Are you totally free from sin? Are you sinless, and are you totally exempt from sinning? I believe that 1 John and Romans 3:23 should answer that for you. Salvation is not something like your car keys that you can lose if you drop them down a sewage drain in a parking lot. If one is truly saved, then they can rest assured that they are secure in that salvation, and Jesus Christ will make good on his promise. Much has already been written on eternal security at this Forum, and you would do well to do a Search at the right if you intend to explore this topic in more depth. Thank you! - Makarios |
