Bible Question: can anyone help me understand once saved always saved. I see some people say they are saved and once their fire for God is burnt out they go doing things that they did before they were saved, even worse. I keep looking at the scriptures of Rev.3:16 and Rev.21:8. I also see that the people that are saved will be judged for their works done on earth. I also read about backslidding in Luke9:62 and 2Peter2:20-21. I was once told that if a person is truely saved then they can't help but live there life for God. Can someone help me understand? |
Bible Answer: speight, Our Salvation is a wonderous thing.When I think of my salvation and all that God has worked in my life these past 11 years Ephesians 3:20 always seems to come to mind.I dont believe one can lose one's salvation ,I dont believe the bible teaches that,but we can forsake God or walk away. Restoration is possible Galatians 6:1,2. May I recomend Hebrews and 1 John. They are rich in what our salvation and what it takes to have that relationship with God that we all need. Approach them with a 2 Timothy 2:15 heart.Also give 2 Peter 1:3-12 a look . I believe these scriptures will shed allot of light on things for you and answer questions. I hope this helps. Let us know what you come up with. In Christ, lionheart |
