Jesus Christ Himself Said ‘Once You’re Saved Always Saved’

Many in Christendom struggle daily with maintaining their salvation… Horrors!

Never knowing what sin will be the one that finally separates you from the love of God is not Christianity, it’s called legalism. Horrors of Horrors! And shame on those trumpeting that false teaching, it is from the pit of hell.

It’s called religion and it’s not at all what God has so clearly laid out for His plan of salvation for mankind today.

…you are not under the law but under grace. – Romans 6:14

From the Lord Himself…during His earthly ministry.  Jesus makes it crystal clear that once you are His (believe the gospel) NOTHING can separate us from Him.

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.’

-John 6:37

 

If you believe the gospel you are His and He will never cast you out. God said it, believe it.

Don’t fall for the false teaching that you can wiggle your way out of the hands of God. Or that God will cast you out for any reason. That would be calling God a liar.

READ THE VERSE AND READ IT AGAIN.

‘All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.’

-John 6:37

The Lord of Glory said in His earthly ministry that anybody that God the Father has chosen, that God the Father has elected, that God the Father has given to His Son, Jesus Christ, by no means be cast out.

It means what it says. Do you believe God? Or man? Now, let’s look at John Chapter 10. This isn’t my idea or what some Church father dreamed up, this is from the Lord Jesus Himself.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.’

John 10:27-28

The next time someone tells you that you can lose your salvation point them to the verse above and John 6:37. If they deny the words of the Lord then walk away and pray for their salvation.

 

Let’s go directly to Paul and Romans 8 where he builds on the foundation the Lord laid during His earthly ministry of “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED”.

‘Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 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 created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’

 

Romans 8:33-39

 

It comes down to faith. Believing what God has says.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

Who's writing?

Identify the author of the book and passage.

Z

Who is the author writing too?

Who is the audience? Yes, all Scripture is for us but not all of Scripture is directed to us our salvation and doctrine (how to live our daily lives). To say all of Scripture is, is erroneous interpretation.

Z

When was the Book or Passage written?

This is necessary to identify the time and historical context.

Z

What were the circumstances when it was written? (what was going on)

Z

What was going on before and after it was written?

What happen before and after the particular Book or Passage you’re reading?

Z

What is the HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE VERSE?

Where does the Bible verse fit in Biblical history. Use the answers from the list of these questions to identify the “historical context”.

Z

Are there other passages that the Author has written to help expand on the verse your reading?

Z

Utilize the full counsel of God to illuminate the passage

All of Scripture fits perfectly.

 

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
