Just as God saved you – without any help from you or anyone else – it is also God who keeps you saved without help from you or others.
John 10:27-29 says, “My sheep hear My voice and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give unto them ETERNAL life; and they shall NEVER perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is GREATER than all, and NO MAN is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand”.
It is impossible to lose your salvation. In
Hebrews 10:14, we read, "For by one offering He hath PERFECTED FOREVER them that are sanctified”. If you have truly been saved, you have been born into the family of God. This is what Jesus was talking about in
John 3:1-7. It is impossible to be unborn.
It is true that we can sin. We can lose the joy of our salvation. But salvation cannot be lost.
Psalms 89:30-34.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 declares, “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be FOREVER…”. Whatever God does is forever. There are those who think that such a belief will lead to ungodly living. Not so!!! When God truly saves a person, the Holy Spirit comes to live in his heart. Paul proclaims, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
1 Corinthians 3:16.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”. When a man becomes a new person in Christ, he no longer wants to live the old way. He will no longer love the things of sin. He is regenerated.
It is wonderful to know that we are secure in Christ. You cannot be saved today and lost tomorrow for the Bible says, “If the Son therefore shall make you FREE, ye shall be FREE…”
John 8:36. If a person who professes to be saved has no desire to change from the old worldly and wicked life, then in reality, he was never born again. We can know this because the Bible says, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
Matthew 7:20
