Many religions that teach works for salvation, also
teach that we can lose salvation. This follows logically because
if we are saved partly or wholly by our works, then we can fail
to keep up the good works and hence lose salvation. The truth
is that if we call on Christ to save us, and He saves us, then
He keeps us saved forever. The following scriptures show this:
1. "I give unto them eternal life; and they
shall never perish." John 10:28.
This is an unconditional guarantee.
Eternal life means saved for eternity
What does "never perish" mean?
2. "Being confident of this very thing, that
he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the
day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6.
Christ will perform His work in us to the Second
Coming.
3. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the
LORD ... Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand ... The LORD
.. forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever."
Psalms 37:23-28.
Four times God tells us that He keeps us saved.
4. "For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39.
For a born again believer to be lost, he must somehow
be separated from the love of God, and become and object of God's
wrath. Paul says that this is impossible.
5. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to
the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever
liveth to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25
6. "By his own blood he entered in once into
the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for
us." Hebrews 9:12.
Redemption means to buy back by paying a price. Since
we have an eternal redemption, we are redeemed for all eternity.
7. "... receive the promise of eternal
inheritance." Hebrews 9:15.
Our inheritance is for eternity.
Our eternal inheritance is promised by God.
8. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."
1 Corinthians 15:49.
"Shall" means that it is a certainty that
we will bear the heavenly image.
9. "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."
1 Peter 1:4-5.
Six times God tells us that we are secure forever.
"Fadeth not away" means perpetual.
10. "I am persuaded that He is able to keep
that which I have committed unto him against that day." 2
Timothy 1:12.
Paul had committed the keeping of his soul to Christ.
He was sure that Christ would keep him saved to his heavenly kingdom.
11. "The Lord shall deliver me from every
evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly
kingdom..." 2
Timothy 4:18.
The Lord will deliver us and preserve us. This is
not "if", "unless" or "maybe", but
SHALL.
12. "Who shall also confirm you unto
the END, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord
Jesus Christ. God is faithful ..." 1 Corinthians 1:8-9.
13. "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory."
Colossians 3:4.
Ye shall appear with Christ in glory, no if's or
but's.
14. "This is the promise that he hath
promised us, even eternal life." 1 John 2:25. "In hope
of eternal life which God, that cannot lie, promised before
the world began." Titus 1:2.
God has promised eternal life to us, and He cannot
lie.
15. "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out." John 6:37
If we come to Jesus Christ for salvation, He will
not cast us out of salvation.
16. "We know that if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an
house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
We know that if our body dies, we go to heaven for
eternity.
17. "And this is the record, that God has
given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. "He
that has the Son has life ... that ye may KNOW that ye
have eternal life." 1 John 5:11-13.
God has recorded that we may know that we have eternal
life in Christ.
18. "Whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have eternal life."
"For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life ..." John 3:15-16,36.
Twice God says that we will not perish.
Three times God says that we have eternal life.
19. "There is joy in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner that repents." Luke 15:10.
If we could lose salvation, angels would not rejoice
at salvation, but when we enter heaven.
If we could lose salvation, we could not know for
sure, as 1 John 5:13 says we can.
20. "For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not
of works lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9.
God is very zealous for us to know that God alone
is responsible for man's salvation.
Every argument against the eternal security of the
believer is based on the human element. As God definitely excludes
all human element in salvation, every one of these arguments is
thereby ruled out.
21. "Therefore it is of faith, that it might
be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure
to all the seed ..." Romans 4:16.
Question: If we receive salvation by faith and not
by the works of the law (good works), then why is it necessary
to keep the law (to keep up good works) in order to keep salvation?
22. "Now therefore ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and
of the household of God." Ephesians 2:19.
All who truly know Christ as their Saviour, are already
"citizens" of heaven, enrolled and registered in heaven.
23. Six times God says that we can KNOW that
we have eternal life:
i) "that believe in the name of the Son of God;
that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life." 1 John 5:13.
ii) "now are we the sons of God ... but
we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him ..."
1 John 3:2.
iii) "we KNOW that ... we have ... an
house ... eternal in the heavens." 2 Corinthians 5:1.
iv) "KNOWING that he which raised up
the Lord Jesus, shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present
us with you." 2 Corinthians 4:14.
v) "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge
the world?
KNOW ye not that we SHALL
judge angels? 1 Corinthians 6:2-3.
vi) "... be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW
that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
If we lead a person to Christ, then they lost salvation,
our labour would be a waste of time, in vain. However, it is not
in vain, because God keeps them saved, even if they backslide.
24. "I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee." Hebrews 13:5.
25. "For by one offering He hath perfected
forever them that are sanctified." Hebrews 10:14.
26. Eleven things that "SHALL BE",
prove that Christ keeps us saved.
There is no question about whether or not certain
things will be so.
It is plainly stated that they "SHALL BE".
i) "Then shall ye also appear with him
in glory." Colossians 3:4.
ii) "Being now justified by His blood, we shall
be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:9.
iii) "They which receive ... the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life."
iv) "He that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies ... " Romans 8:11.
v) "The glory which shall be revealed
in us." Romans 8:18.
vi) "Who shall also confirm you unto
the end." 1 Corinthians 1:8.
vii) "We shall also bear the image of
the heavenly." 1 Corinthians 15:49.
Written to those at Corinth and "in every place."1 Corinthians 1:2.
viii) "We shall all be changed."
1 Corinthians 15:51.
ix) "Shall raise up us also by Jesus,
and shall present us with you...."
x) "When he shall appear, we shall be
like Him ..." 1 John 3:2.
xi) "We shall judge angels." 1 Corinthians 6:3.
27. "The gifts and calling of God are without
repentance." Romans 11:29.
Eternal life is a gift from God. Romans 6:23.
Holy Spirit is a gift from God. 1 Thessalonians 4:8.
Righteousness is a gift from God. Romans 5:17.
God will not take back His gifts.
28. Sin is not charged against us
"Their sins and iniquities will I remember no
more." Hebrews 10:17.
"God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them ......."
2 Corinthians 5:19.
29. Chastening proves salvation's permanency.
Chastening is a corrective discipline to purify our
life, like "child training". God chastens us now in
this life, in love when we sin to return us to His will.
"My son, despise not thou the chastening of
the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. For whom the
Lord loveth, he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for
what son is he whom the Father chasteneth not? But if ye be without
chastisement, whereof ALL are partakers, then are ye bastards,
and not sons." Hebrews 12:5-8.
Three results of chastening in Hebrews 12:9-11 are:
i) we give God reverence;
ii) for our profit - we learn holiness;
iii) yielding the peaceable fruit of righteousness.
Two methods of chastening in 1 Corinthians 11:29-30
are:
i) sickness;
ii) death.
"When we are judged, we are chastened of the
Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." 1 Corinthians 11:31-32.
30. Our destiny is to be conformed
to the image of His Son, not lost.
"For whom he did foreknow, He also did predestinate
to be conformed to the image of His Son .. called ... justified
... glorified." Romans 8:29-30.
31. We are indwelt and sealed by the
Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption
"Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby
ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30.
"I will pray the Father, and He shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
even the Spirit of truth." John 14:16.
Question: Did Jesus promise that the Holy Spirit
will abide with them until they became lost? NO! Forever.
32. Christ is our Advocate and Intercessor.
Question: If sin in a believer's life will cause
him to be condemned, then for what purpose is Christ our Advocate
or Intercessor?
"Christ who also maketh intercession for us."
Romans 8:34.
"He ever liveth to make intercession
for us." Hebrews 7:25.
"If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1.
33. Our union with Christ : We are in Christ.
i) Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
particular."
Question: Will Christ permit his body to be dismembered?
No.
ii) Our sin was counted as Christ's, now we have
Christ's righteousness.
"He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew
no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
2 Corinthians 5:21.
iii) "If children, then heirs, ... joint heirs
with Christ." Romans 8:17.
Because I am "in Christ", my eternal future
is linked to Christ's as a joint heir. If Christ can be lost,
so can I.
Conclusion
Security, not fear, produces Godly living. Romans 12:12; 1 Corinthians 6:15.
Loss of salvation is never threatened.
Isa 52:13-53:11,13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
CHAPTER 53
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
