Can
I Lose My Salvation?
John
10:28-30 (NIV)
I
give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out
of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one
can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one."
Romans
8:38-39 (NIV)
I
am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither
the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There
are many more scriptural supports for believing in eternal security. You will
find a list in your bulletin:
John
10:27-30, 1 Corinthians 3:15. Ephesians 4:30. Romans 8:35-39. Philippians 1:6,
1 John 2:19, John 5:24. And 1John 3:9
Someone
who continues to willingly and blatantly lives in sin has not truly
accepted Christ (1 John 2:19; 1 John 3:6; James 1:26). Therefore they must
never have been saved in the first place.
The
other thing I like about this doctrine is that the scripture cited convince me
that I really have to try hard to lose my salvation.
Salvation
is all about relationships.
Free
will, means you get to make choices.
For
a relationship to work, it takes two.
Entering
into a right relationship with God requires a commitment on our part to
be a disciple of Jesus.

John 1:7 (NIV)
“…if
we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
1
John 2:24 (NIV)
See
that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you
also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
Hebrews
10:38-39 (NIV)
But
my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be
pleased with him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are
destroyed but of those who believe and are saved.
John
15:6 (NIV)
If
anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and
withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
“If” verses.
John
15:6, John 8:51, 2 Peter 1:10, Hebrews 10:26, Hebrews 10:26, 1 John 2:15, John
15:14, Romans 8:13, Romans 11:22
Hebrews
3:14 (NIV)
We
have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we
had at first.
One
flagrant violation of the law of love does not result in expulsion from
the Kingdom.
1
John 1:9 (NIV)
If
we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all unrighteousness.
It
is when we refuse to confess our sins, that’s when we enter the danger zone.
Hebrews
2:1-3 (NIV)
We
must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we
do not drift away. For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every
violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if
we ignore such a great salvation?
You
cannot lose your salvation over one immoral act, one sin, in one deviation from
the path of righteousness, but when this becomes the way you are determined
to live, you’re in danger of losing your salvation.
Don’t
confuse temptation with actual sin.
1
Tim 4:1 (NIV)
The
Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow
deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Abandoning
the faith is like filing for a divorce.
Egoism is what is taught by deceiving spirits and
demons.
Saints
also abandon the faith when God doesn’t do what they expect.
God
will fight to win you back. But a lost salvation, a ruined relationship with
God, is a possibility.

Rev
3:5-6 (NCV)
Those
who win the victory will be dressed in white clothes like them. And I will not
erase their names from the book of life, but I will say they belong to me
before my Father and before his angels. Everyone who has ears should listen to
what the Spirit says to the churches.
