Bible Question: after i was saved in my younger days i turned away from god..15 years ago i relized my foolishness and asked gods forgivness.does this mean my salvation has gone?

Bible Answer: Greetings,
That doesn’t mean you lost your salvation, what it means is that you were out of fellowship and missed out on numerous blessings that could have been yours but now they are gone for time and eternity.
Since Hebrews is the book of discussion consider this;
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Many time we do thing that a responsible son shouldn’t do but we are sons none the less because we are born of the father.
(We don’t have to ask God if He will forgive us,) He has already told us that he would if we will do our part and name the sins to Him.
It’s our responsibility to confess the sins that we have committed in order to be reinstated to a place of fellowship therefore not quenching of grieving the Spirit.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The word “confess” comes to us from the Koine Greek word “HOMOLOGEO” and it means to site as in a courtroom case and admit to the guilt. God say that if we own up to our disobedience that He will forgive us due to the basis of His character; it all points to grace!!!!!!
We are not always faithful but God is and He is just in forgiving us because of what Jesus did for our sins. God doesn’t forgive on the basis of our actions but because of His grace and what His Son did for us.
It pays to keep short accounts with the Lord and stay in a position of continuous fellowship.
1 John 1:4-10
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Some of the most miserable people in the world are believers out of fellowship while some of the happiest people in the world are believers in fellowship.
2 Tim. 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
