Bible Question: I am looking into 'Once saved always saved.' Are there any scriptures to back or deny this statement? |
Bible Answer: Yes there are many answers in the Bible concerning your question. In the story of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11-32 we see how this mans son left him and scandered all of his money and his life as well, when the son came back the father made a great feast. The older son, who had not left was very upset, and the fathers response was that the older son had always been with him and could have had anything but the younger son (verse 32) was dead, and is now alive, was lost but is now found. This parable is refering also to our lives. We sometimes leave God and we are lost/dead, yet when we come back to Him we are found/ alive. Also, we can look at the life of Judas, when he first went to follow God i do not believe that he was lost yet at the last supper Jesus says that it would have been better if he had never been born at all. Matt 26:24 In Acts 16:30, 31 we can see where someone asked how to be saved, and the response was to believe on the Lord Jesus..." And in Acts 2:37, 38 Peter tells the people to "repent and be baptized" In the story of creation when Adam and Eve were created they were created perfect and intended to live forever, when Eve and Adam sinned, if they would have died then they would have been lost for they had disobeied God, yet from the gift of salvation and their repentance they were able to receive that gift of salvation. In the garden God gave them freedom of choice, He knew what was best for them but they choose the other way. In Galations 6 :7-8 it shows us that we reap what we sow. I hope that it helps.
