Subject: Show in the Bible once saved always |
Bible Note: You are indeed correct. We are "kept by the power of God." Not by holding on and holding out, but "by the power of God." Genuine saving faith is the kind of faith that perseveres. Yet perseverance is the result, not the cause of salvation. Jude 1:21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God." God does the saving and God does the keeping. A proper understanding of what salvation is and all that God does when he saves a soul will show that we do not keep ourselves. There is NOTHING we can do to earn, keep, or add anything to our salvation. |
