IT IS A BIBLE DOCTRINE.
CAN A SAVED PERSON EVER LOSE HIS SALVATION?
A. John 10:28 says we shall NEVER perish.
B. John 10:29 says no man is ABLE to remove us from God’s hand.
C. John 6:37 says God will in NO WISE cast out those who come to Christ.
D. John 6:39 says the responsibility of keeping us saved is the Lord’s, not ours, and
that Christ can LOSE nothing.
E. John 5:24 says the kind of life I now have is EVERLASTING.
F. Romans 8:38,39 says that nothing can SEPARATE us from the love of Christ.
G. I Peter 1:5 says we are KEPT by the POWER of God.
H. Jude 24 says Christ is able to KEEP us from FALLING.
I. Philippians 1:6 says that Christ will continue His good WORK in us until the
DAY of Jesus Christ.
J. Ephesians 1:13 says our salvation has been SEALED with the Holy Spirit.
K. Ephesians 2:8 says that our salvation is the GIFT of God. A gift taken back by
the giver is no gift.
L. Ephesians 2:9 says that we have done nothing to gain salvation. If we have done
nothing to gain it — we can do nothing to lose it!
M. According to Ephesians 2:2,3 and I John 3:10, before we were saved we were in
the control of Satan. Now that we are saved, we have a new relationship with
God.
God is our heavenly FATHER — Romans 8:15.
Christians are the SONS of God — I John 3:1.
In our earthly family, when a child does wrong his parents do not cast him out of the
family and disown him. They will correct and chasten their son — but he is still their son
and a member of that family.
When a Christian sins, he is not cast out of God’s family, thus losing his salvation.
However, like any loving father, God will CHASTEN the erring Christian to restore him
to fellowship — Hebrews 12:6.
“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine,
O, what a foretaste of glory divine.
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.”
