Subject: Can salvation be lost? |
Bible Note: mommapbs, I agree and appreciate your explanation of grace and Gods unconditional love through His Son Jesus Christ. I think it is sad to see people torn between loving God for His gift of salvation to us and their need to accomplish some work to prove their love, in order to continue to be saved. If it were up to me to keep myself saved, I wouldn't have a chance. My flesh will keep me from God. I will never be perfect in this body. However, my desire to be perfect (pure) is not because I want to stay saved. It is because I understand that I can't keep myself saved and that that was accomplished for me on calvery's cross. It comes from the love I now have for Jesus for saving me. When in heaven if asked why should I let you in, my reply will be because Jesus Christ paid for all my sins, and that alone. On the other hand some will want to give an account of the works that they did, as if that will wash away any of their sins. Works are just an expression of obedience to Him and our love for Him. It has nothing to do with staying saved. In Love, Jal |
