Subject: once saved always saved? |
Bible Note: Rom 5:6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Dear Jim, Just as we were powerless to save ourselves, we are powerless to keep ourselves. Praise God, we are kept by his power! 1 Pet 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Pet 1:4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 1 Pet 1:5 who are protected (kept, KJV) by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. God MUST keep, because in our own strength we cannot stay. Lionstrong |
