Bible Question: Can you prove the doctrine of eternal security as opposed to losing one's salvation? |
Bible Answer: In context who has fallen from grace? New King James Version Galatians 5: 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Verse 4. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. In the context, who is it who has fallen from grace? "You who attempt to be justified by law." "The [Gr.] word for 'fallen' means 'to lose one's grasp on something.' Paul's clear meaning is that any attempt to be justified by the law is to reject salvation by grace alone through faith alone...Those...who turn their backs on Christ and seek to be justified by the law are separated from Christ...Their desertion of Christ and the gospel proves that their faith was never genuine (compare 1 John 2:19)" (MacArthur Study Bible). |
