Bible Question: Is once saved by Jesus meant always saved for eternity ? |
Bible Answer: If you are saved, you are always saved.(John 10:27,28) We are saved by faith, a living faith in our saviour. If your new life does not bring fruit, you will be cut off.(John 15:2)see also Matthew 13(the parable of the sower) It is important to not get complacent in praying a prayer, and not worrying about it again.Phil 2:12 says "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." True salvation includes fruitfulness, otherwise there isn't really life there.James 2:26 says faith without works is dead. |
