NASB | 2 Timothy 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 1:12 This is why I suffer as I do. Still, I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until that day [when I stand before Him]. [1 Cor 1:8, 3:13; Phil 1:6] |
Bible Question: Can you lose your Salvation if not what is Ephesians 4:30 and then Ephesians 1:13 and 14 talking about? |
Bible Answer: Hello Sara, Just asking for clarification on your question. You wrote: "Can you lose your Salvation if not what is Ephesians 4:30 and then Ephesians 1:13 and 14 talking about?" Did you mean to say: Can you lose your salvation and if SO what are the verses talking about? I ask because the verses you referenced support the position that salvation is something that can not be lost. Look at the language in Eph. 1: 13 and 14 "after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise" "Which is the earnest of our inheritance" "until the redemption of the purchased possession" "unto the praise of his glory." And 4:30 "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit," "by whom you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption" These verses suppport that the work that God has accomplished in the person of Jesus Christ, is permanent. They do not hint at the possibility of losing salvation (though other verses isolated out of context can be used to support the argument of a very fragile salvation earned by works). Anyway, Just wanted to know if you had a typo in your question. Jeff |
