CAN WE EVER LOSE OUR
SALVATION? NO! NEVER!!
BY DR. MERVYN ABREO
There are two schools of thought, each
backed with a battery of Scripture verses, both claiming the exact opposite.

On
one side you have those that claim that once you are saved, there is absolutely
no way that you can lose your salvation!
Whereas,
on the other hand, you have those who believe that, though you have given your
life to Jesus and are saved, there are ‘certain conditions to be met, situations
that could occur or certain decisions that you could make’ that would result in
you losing your salvation!
Without
going into the intricacies of analyzing the opposing Scripture verses, we have
to first realize that what we are doing by entertaining and analyzing these
opposite arguments, probably without realizing it, is challenging the validity of ‘Bible truth’. And thereby calling God a
liar!
How?!!
Here’s how!!
If
you interpret certain Scripture verses to conclude that you could lose your
salvation, then it’s fine if it had ended there!
But
when you also claim that there are verses to the contrary, that once saved, you
cannot lose your salvation, then you are proclaiming that the Bible is
contradictory!
And that is not possible!
Because
two opposing theories cannot exist simultaneously!!
Because the Bible can never contradict itself!
Therefore
there is something illogical in your so called logic!
WHY CAN WE NOT LOSE OUR SALVATION?!
Because
it’s not ours to lose!!
The moment we accept Jesus as our Lord
and Savior, we become ‘chosen in Him before the creation of the
world to be holy and blameless in His sight….predestined to be adopted as His
sons and daughters………redemption through His blood……….’ (Ephesians 1: 3
– 10).
The faith that came into operation when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior is sufficient and binding forever. And it is this faith which will take us to heaven! It is everlasting and binding irrespective of weather our faith wavers during our lifetime. We were sealed once and for all by the Holy Spirit and this covenant between God and us is unbreakable!!

THE CATALYST FOR SALVATION”
On
one hand we have Lord Jesus Who wants to save us. And on the other there are
those of us who want to be saved.
And
the catalyst is FAITH!

Just
as FAITH caused Jesus to rise Himself from the dead (and not the Father, unless
you believe in three gods), it is this FAITH, which came into operation and
which enabled us to give our life to Jesus, and it is this FAITH that will
automatically come into operation and enable us to waltz into heaven!
DECEPTION FROM HELL:
One
of our greatest weapons against Satan is the ‘shield of faith’!
And
another is ‘the helmet of salvation’!
And
obviously both, along with ‘breastplate of righteousness, footwear of peace and
the shield, the Word of God,’ all go hand in hand (Ephesians 6:13 – 17).
A
warrior knows what would happen if he had a weak spot. The consequences would
be disastrous!!
Similarly,
in our spiritual battle with Satan and his demonic hoards, both to protect
ourselves as well as to bring out the unsaved from inside his kingdom, we need
to be fully protected.
Doubt
weakens our armor and makes us vulnerable!
And
therefore this is Satan’s ploy!
His first deception is that he does not
exist! This is how he fools unbelievers!
And
for believers, continuous insecurity
that they could eventually lose their salvation!
Realize
once and for all. Nothing! Absolutely
nothing can take you out of the Lord’s hands!!
ONCE SAVED! YOU REMAIN
SAVED FOREVER!!
