| Can Salvation Be Lost? |
| |
| Can a person who has accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord commit |
| grievous sins and still go to heaven upon death? In other |
| words, can a Christian lose his salvation? |
| |
| Jesus said, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and |
| they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never |
| perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand" (John 10:27-28). |
| Satan and his demons would try to "yank" believers out of God's |
| hand if they could for they are enemies of God and His saints. |
| But the evil ones can only tempt Christians to fall into |
| grievous sins, never can they remove us from God's grip. |
| |
| Neither can Christians "jump" out of God's grasp through sin, |
| for the Bible says, "He who began a good work in you will carry |
| it on to completion..." (Phil. 1:6). God will not give up on |
| sinning Christians; for example, Moses sinned by murdering, |
| King David committed adultery and murder, and Peter publicly |
| denied Christ, and yet each were forgiven and held secure in |
| his salvation by God's love and grace. |
| |
| God says, "It is by grace you have been saved...not by works" |
| (Eph. 2:8-9). Our good works could not gain us initial |
| salvation, nor can they maintain it. Those who trust in Jesus |
| receive the secure gift of eternal life and will never perish. |
