Hi All.

This questions comes up a lot and i'm still not sure of the answer. But can we lose our salvation?. I've read scripures saying that all we need to do is confess with our mouths that Jesus is our saviour etc and we will then have eternal life but then i read about God punishing others like King david for his sins.
I have had a few struggles with commiting the same sin over and over and i really do repent and do the 180 but i then fall back into sin again. I love Jesus, and i do hate disappointing God and myself. But it always raises the question can you lose your salvation??...
Thanks in advance.. GOD BLESS

Hello Shell84,

I am new on this Forum-just signed up 2 Days ago! Was browsing through it, and came across this/your Topic/Post and your Question, I quote:" Once saved can we lose our salvation?? ", which in my humble opinion is one of the most important Questions a Believer can ask! I have asked myself this Question many a Times, and currently doing some studying and research on it, and while Browsing through the Forum I came across another Thread on this, which is found in Forum Bible Study Hall under Normal Threads called "Once Saved always Saved?/Is Eternal Security Biblical?". Read through it, and it seems to be a very lively Discussion on this subject, and the Thread is still active.

Best you check it out yourself!

Abide in Christ alone, az

Why don't you ask God.

Well, Sharen I think you need to be more comforing than that.

U lose ur salvation when u stop trying. When u quit ur salvation does as well. The righteous man falls down 7 times but gets up again.

It is by Grace through faith that You have been saved. It is a gift from GOD. It is not through works. It is not by works or failures. We are all sinners... and sinners sin. When we are Saved we are sealed with the HOLY SPIRIT and GOD becomes our loving FATHER. I have failed my dad more times than I can count but, I am still His son and, GOD is still our DADDY, ABBA, FATHER. Its the HOLY SPIRIT inside of you that convicts or makes us feel guilty for our sin. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the HOLY SPIRIT who has sealed each believer until the day of redemption. JESUS even said all those that come to ME I will not cast out. We all lose our battles against sin, all of us, over and over and over. That is one of satans tools against us if we are defeated and think we have lost our Salvation how can we be a witness to others. JESUS Blood covers all our sin and, all sin that is confessed is forgotten by GOD and not remembered any more. In HIS Love always. ken

yes but please be sure to mention that gift can be lost. salvation isnt a stamp that gets us into heaven it is a lifestyle. Paul said that even though we are saved by grace does that mean we are to walk in sin? by NO means. so yes salvation is a gift from God but we must be careful to accept it always.

But Peter said;
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit,whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.It is Jesus that gets us to heaven,he is the Savior.It is where we walk,not how we walk.Do we need a new sin offering.

I am not a scholar but, from my own personal reading and understanding you can't just lose your Salvation. JESUS paid for ALL our sin. Would anyone say HE didn't know about our sin when HE saved us? Does HE know what sins we will commit in the future ? HE knew and still knows. HE has our hairs counted. BUT, just because we are free from sin does not mean we are to willingly continue in that sin. We are to live Holy or at least do our best every day and, then we confess our sin as we go. HE knows we will fail. HE loves us when we fail. HE loves us after we fail. JESUS Hates sin but loves the sinner just as we should do. I do however believe that we can lose any and all of our rewards. All believers will be judged according to their works and their works can all be burned up and consumed. The Believer however in not consumed but, passes through the fire. Some of us will get to Heaven smelling like smoke and fire but, we still get there. We may not have anything to give to Our SAVIOUR JESUS but, we still get to be with HIM. Thank YOU JESUS!!!

a last note on the subject; Paul said we are all to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling... If my sin can keep me from heaven then I have no hope at all. My Only Hope is Jesus. We all sin and our only Hope is JESUS and our faith in HIM.
In HIS Love always, ken
