Subject: "Once Saved Always Saved" |
Bible Note: The eternal security of the believer is not a false doctrine. What is false is any scheme that teaches that our salvation is contingent upon our continuing good works. It is entirely possible for the regenerate believer to fall away from fellowship with Christ but this is not the same thing as "losing salvation" -- salvation is not, nor ever has been, offered in exchange for our good works. Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ is the only means of redemption that God offers. Our works will never buy us a ticket to heaven nor our sins keep us away if we have been truly redeemed by the blood of Christ. --Hank |
