Can I Lose My Salvation? | February 24, 2022

<p>We cannot be unborn.</p> <p>Key Verses: John 10:28,29; 1 John 5:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 11:29; Jude 24; Romans 8:38-39; Philippians 1:6</p> <p>More Notes on This Question:</p> <ol> <li>No one who is truly saved can ever lose that salvation. The Bible offers this proof on multiple levels.</li> <li>Scriptures that plainly state it: here are just a few. John 10:28,29; 1John 5:13; 2Corinthians 5:17; John 6:37; John 5:24; Romans 11:29; Jude 24; Romans 8:38,39; Philippians 1:6</li> <li>Again, the very term “eternal life” means it can’t be lost, especially since scripture declares that it is not something we possess at death, but currently. John 5:24</li> <li>We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:13,14) The term “guarantee” there actually means a down payment. The Bible is emphatically clear, if our salvation were to be revoked, God would have to concede 1/3 of the Trinity!</li> <li>No one in the Bible ever lost their salvation. Interestingly, we get an early answer here to the two situations that I presented above. With Judas, we have someone who was never saved in the first place. John 6:70-71NIV Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" &nbsp;71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.) &nbsp;Later in 1 Corinthians, we have a believer living in such awful sin that he had to be put out the church. Notice the language concerning him. 1 Cor 5:5NIV hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. &nbsp;If he had not repented (He did. That story is in 2 Corinthians) he would have committed what John calls the “sin unto death,” however notice that he would have still gone to Heaven. &nbsp;These are 2 extreme cases that bear out where we are going to ultimately land. True believers can never lose their salvation. There are many who claim to be, but never were.</li> <li>True salvation is what Jesus called the “new birth.” Anyone w
