Once Saved ALWAYS Saved

If you do not believe that once a person is saved he is always saved, then you have NEVER really trusted in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you are lost in your sins, and you are heading straight to Hell. This is true even if you have been baptized and are an active church member, and is true even if you are a Sunday School teacher or preacher. This is written, not to offend, but out of genuine concern for your soul. Because, I repeat it, if you do not believe in the eternal security of the blood-bought believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then you have NEVER been saved, and except you repent of your UNBELIEF you will end up eternally tormented in the flames of the Lake which burns with fire and brimstone.

Revelation 21:8 (KJV) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

People In Hell Have NEVER Known Christ

I NEVER Knew You

Said the Lord Jesus Christ:

Matthew 7:21 (KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 7:22 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 (KJV) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This Is The Will Of Him That Sent Me

Who is this verse referring to when it says "but he that doeth the will of my father"? Not those who have "done many wonderful works," but rather BELIEVERS in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and Christ will NOT lose or cast out God's children.

John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:38 (KJV) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John 6:39 (KJV) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 6:40 (KJV) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Galatians 3:26 (KJV) For ye are all the CHILDREN of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Did Not Say, “I Once Knew You But You Lost Your Salvation

Note in Mat. 7:21-23 above that on the judgment day Jesus will tell all religious, but UNBELIEVING, professing Christians, "I NEVER knew you." He will NOT say to them, "I once knew you, but then you sinned and lost your salvation."

People Who Trust In Their Own Works Are Not Saved

People who believe that salvation can be lost are trusting in their own religious works to save them, and are not trusting in Christ. They believe that they are doing "many wonderful works", perhaps even including having "cast out devils", and are therefore worthy of salvation. Because they are trusting in their own good works instead of in the finished work of Christ upon the cross, they have NEVER been saved.

Salvation Is By Grace Not By Works

Not By Our Works

The reason some people believe a saved person can lose his salvation is because they believe good works are necessary for salvation. Yet they know in their hearts that their works are often sinful, not good. Therefore, such people believe that you cannot know for sure that you will make it to Heaven until after the judgment day. Then, "if your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds", they reason, "you will be allowed into Heaven, otherwise you will go to Hell or Purgatory." This is a tragic misunderstanding (or rejection) of what the Bible teaches about salvation.

The Bible very clearly tells us that salvation is by God's grace through faith in the finished work of Christ, and is NOT of our own works.

Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ephesians 2:9 (KJV) Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5 (KJV) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Titus 3:6 (KJV) Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Titus 3:7 (KJV) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of ETERNAL LIFE.

None Are Worthy Of Salvation

None of us are worthy of salvation. If we get what we deserve we will all end up in Hell.

Isaiah 64:6 (KJV) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Romans 3:10 (KJV) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:11 (KJV) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Romans 3:12 (KJV) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Salvation Is God’s Gift (We Deserve Death)

Without Jesus Christ, none of us are righteous, none of us are good, and none of us are profitable to God. Quite to the contrary, without Christ, all of us are unclean, all of our righteousnesses are filthy, and we sin continually. Only because of the finished work of Christ is there hope for us wicked sinners.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Salvation Is Eternal

As the above verse illustrates, the Bible very clearly tells us that the salvation Jesus Christ authored is ETERNAL salvation.

Hebrews 5:1 (KJV) For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Hebrews 5:2 (KJV) Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

Hebrews 5:3 (KJV) And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Hebrews 5:4 (KJV) And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

Hebrews 5:5 (KJV) So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Hebrews 5:6 (KJV) As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 5:7 (KJV) Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Hebrews 5:8 (KJV) Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Hebrews 5:9 (KJV) And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Hebrews 5:10 (KJV) Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Everlasting Means Never Ending

It is amazing how many people do not understand the meaning of the words everlasting and eternal. They claim to have everlasting life; yet, claim that they can lose it if they fall into sin. Webster's Dictionary defines everlasting as "never coming to an end; lasting forever; eternal." Now to lose life is to die. Death ends life. Life is not eternal life or everlasting life if it can end in death.

Over and over again in the Bible Jesus promises eternal life or everlasting life to all who place their faith in Him. Here are just a few examples:

Whosoever Believeth

John 3:15 (KJV) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3:16 (KJV) 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.

John 3:17 (KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:18 (KJV) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That Believeth On The Son

John 3:36 (KJV) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Passed From Death Unto Life

John 5:24 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Except The Father Draw Him

Work The Works Of God?

John 6:28 (KJV) Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

John 6:29 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

The Bread Of Life

John 6:30 (KJV) They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

John 6:31 (KJV) Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

John 6:32 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

John 6:33 (KJV) For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

John 6:34 (KJV) Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

John 6:35 (KJV) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:36 (KJV) But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

In No Wise Cast Out

John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

This Is The Will Of Him That Sent Me

John 6:38 (KJV) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John 6:39 (KJV) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 6:40 (KJV) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Except The Father Which Hath Sent Me Draw

John 6:41 (KJV) The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

John 6:42 (KJV) And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

John 6:43 (KJV) Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

John 6:44 (KJV) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

He That Believeth In Me

John 6:45 (KJV) It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

John 6:46 (KJV) Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

John 6:47 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

The Bread Of Life

John 6:48 (KJV) I am that bread of life.

John 6:49 (KJV) Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

John 6:50 (KJV) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

John 6:51 (KJV) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

I Give Unto Them

John 10:27 (KJV) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

John 10:28 (KJV) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 10:29 (KJV) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

John 10:30 (KJV) I and my Father are one.

Being Made Free From Sin

Romans 6:22 (KJV) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Promised Before The World Began

Titus 1:2 (KJV) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Made Heirs

Titus 3:5 (KJV) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Titus 3:6 (KJV) Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Titus 3:7 (KJV) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Promised... Eternal Life

1 John 2:25 (KJV) And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

The Author Of “Non-Eternal” Salvation (Satan)

Now if Jesus is the author of eternal salvation, who, we must ask, is the author of non-eternal salvation? Surely none other than Satan himself. People worshipping a non-eternal-salvation-giving Jesus are actually worshipping Satan himself without realizing it!

Beware of "Another" Jesus Who Promises Non-Eternal Salvation

· The Jesus of the Bible is the author of ETERNAL salvation.

· The Jesus of the Bible gives all those who believe in Him EVERLASTING life. The Jesus of the Bible saves repentant believing sinners and KEEPS them saved.

· The Jesus of the Bible does not need us to help Him save our souls, He is FULLY capable of saving us ALL BY HIMSELF. He does not need our help to keep us saved; he keeps all believers saved ALL BY HIMSELF.

Some people, however, believe in a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible. They believe in a Jesus that is weak and powerless and cannot finish what he starts. Their Jesus is, in fact, a liar, for he promises eternal life, supposedly gives it to people when they believe in him, but then that "eternal" life ENDS when they sin. The eternal life he gives is fake, and he is a fraud. He starts to save people, but is unable to finish the job. Thus, in reality, he is of no use whatsoever, for people have to end up saving themselves by their good works anyway. They are thus stronger than their phony, useless, counterfeit Jesus. THEY ARE REALLY TRUSTING IN THEMSELVES. THEY ARE THEIR OWN GODS. Their Jesus is a creation of human imagination---they have created and must do for their god, rather than God creating and doing for them---, and so they are actually greater than their Jesus. VAIN PRIDE is the basic reason this false Jesus and false gospel is so popular.

The apostle Paul wrote the following divinely inspired words to the churches at Galatia and Corinth concerning this phony gospel and phony Jesus:

Pervert The Gospel Of Christ

Galatians 1:6 (KJV) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Galatians 1:7 (KJV) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Galatians 1:8 (KJV) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1:9 (KJV) As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Another Jesus, Spirit, Gospel

2 Corinthians 11:2 (KJV) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:4 (KJV) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

2 Corinthians 11:5 (KJV) For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

2 Corinthians 11:6 (KJV) But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

2 Corinthians 11:7 (KJV) Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

2 Corinthians 11:8 (KJV) I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

2 Corinthians 11:9 (KJV) And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

2 Corinthians 11:10 (KJV) As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

2 Corinthians 11:11 (KJV) Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

2 Corinthians 11:12 (KJV) But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

2 Corinthians 11:13 (KJV) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJV) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:15 (KJV) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

TODAY Is the Day of Salvation

Realizing the meaning of eternal salvation and everlasting life---that is that eternal does mean eternal, and everlasting does mean everlasting---, some people who reject the doctrine of once saved always saved defend their position by saying that no one is saved until God judges their works on the judgement day. Therefore, according to these people salvation does not come at the moment we put our faith in Christ, but rather sometime after physical death. Such an idea, however, does not originate with the Bible. For example, when wicked tax collector Zacchaeus trusted Christ as personal Lord and Savior, he was saved that very day.

Luke 19:9 (KJV) And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Also, the Bible never says that the judgment day is the day of salvation. Rather it says, "behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation." (2 Cor. 6:2)

"I Will Not Blot Out His Name Out of the Book of Life"

The Lord Jesus very plainly promises that He will not blot the names of overcomers out of the book of life:

Revelation 3:5 (KJV) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

That certainly means once saved always saved for overcomers. Who then are these overcomers? And do they overcome by their good works or by their faith in Christ? We are not left to guess.

1 John 5:4 (KJV) For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1 John 5:5 (KJV) Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Every human being's name was written in the book of life before the foundation of the world, but the names of those who die without trusting Christ as their Lord and Savior are blotted out.

Psalms 69:28 (KJV) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Revelation 22:19 (KJV) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

If a Believer's Work Be Burned, He Shall Suffer Loss: But He Himself Shall Be Saved

What about a person that gets saved, but backslides? Won't that person lose his salvation? Not if he really got saved. Anyone who has placed his faith in Christ Jesus has laid a sure and everlasting foundation for his life.

1 Corinthians 3:11 (KJV) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:12 (KJV) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

1 Corinthians 3:13 (KJV) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

1 Corinthians 3:14 (KJV) If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

1 Corinthians 3:15 (KJV) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

In other words, if a believer's works do not meet with God's approval, he will lose all rewards on the judgment day---a horrible and eternal loss. "But he himself shall be saved;" he will NOT lose his soul!

While the life you live is certainly important, of much more importance is the foundation upon which you build your life. Mat. 7:24 speaks of the "wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock." I Cor. 10:4b says: "...and that Rock was Christ."

I once knew a man who hired an unscrupulous contractor to build his home. Alas, while he was away the contractor poured a shallow, unreinforced foundation. Upon this paper shell foundation was built a luxury home with the very finest of materials. Even before it was finished great cracks appeared in all the walls, and it began to sink in one corner. Its ruin was great, and there was no remedy. So is a seemingly clean and moral person, doing many good works, but who has never trusted Christ as personal Lord and Savior. Without the foundation of Christ, cracks will soon develop in his golden life to render it ruined, and he will die to spend eternity in the torments of the flames of Hell.

Lot is an example of a saved person who wasted his life, yet was still saved. The Bible says he "pitched his tent toward Sodom" (Gen. 13:12). He eventually got so far away from God that he got drunk, and in his drunkenness got both his daughters pregnant (Gen. 19:30-36). Yet, in the eyes of God Lot was still considered a "just" and "righteous"---though miserable---man. The Bible says that God "delivered JUST Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that RIGHTEOUS man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his RIGHTEOUS soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)" (2 Pet. 2:7-8).

Cain is an example of a lost religious man. He believed there is a God, and even gave an offering to God. But his offering was bloodless, showing that he was trusting in his own good works to save him, and was not trusting in the coming virgin-born Messiah who would shed His blood on a cruel cross for the sins of the world.

Genesis 4:3 (KJV) And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

Genesis 4:4 (KJV) And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

Genesis 4:5 (KJV) But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Genesis 4:6 (KJV) And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

Genesis 4:7 (KJV) If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Genesis 4:8 (KJV) And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Cain was never saved, and so did not lose his salvation. One cannot lose that which one never had. Being religious will not save your soul: only Jesus can save your soul. Believing God exists is not saving faith. Believing Jesus Christ died on the cross to give you eternal salvation (once saved always saved type salvation) is saving faith, without which you will go to Hell.

"I Will Never Leave Thee Nor Forsake Thee"

One of the most comforting verses in the Bible is Heb.13:5 which says,

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

A similar verse is John 6:37 where Jesus promises

John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

These verses certainly teach "once saved always saved," for if a believer could lose his salvation and end up in Hell Christ could not honestly say that that believer was neither forsaken nor cast out.

"If I Believed Once Saved Always Saved I Would Live Like the Devil!"

Unbelievers will often say, "The idea that once you are saved you are always saved encourages people to sin. If I believed once saved always saved, I would live like the Devil. I would drink, smoke, dance and fornicate and do drugs. Why not if once saved always saved?" Such an attitude reveals a great misunderstanding of God's plan of salvation, and also reveals the true desires of these unbelievers' hearts. Because they have never truly been born again they very much want to enjoy the pleasures of sin. Drinking, dancing, fornicating and doing drugs (or other sins) is what they consider fun. They think that to save their souls they must abstain from all those fun sins and force themselves to do "boring things" like praying, reading the Bible, and going to church, and act like they like it, when they really don't. However, because their nature has never been changed by the new birth, their efforts to live right are doomed to failure. For it happens to them according to the true proverb:

2 Peter 2:22 (KJV) But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

There is, of course, only one cure for a sinful nature: YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN. (John 3:7)

John 3:7 (KJV) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Galatians 6:15 (KJV) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

The fact is, people who are believing in Christ to save them once and for ever are the true believers in Christ, and because they have been born again (and therefore have a new nature) they tend to live much more holy lives than do those who believe that salvation once gained can be lost. True believers love Christ for giving them everlasting salvation, and therefore serve Him with a willing heart.

People who do not believe once saved always saved tend to resent Christ down in their hearts, for they think He is forcing them by threat of Hell to live what they consider to be an unhappy, "goody-goody" life instead of what they consider a fun, sinful life. This is why Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

In Conclusion

Once For All

Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ is a "once for all" and a "for ever" event.

Hebrews 10:10 (KJV) By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Hebrews 10:11 (KJV) And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

Hebrews 10:12 (KJV) But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Hebrews 10:13 (KJV) From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Hebrews 10:14 (KJV) For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Only people who believe in the eternal security of the believer in Christ are truly placing their faith in such comforting Bible promises as this one:

Romans 8:35 (KJV) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:36 (KJV) As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Romans 8:37 (KJV) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:38 (KJV) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Romans 8:39 (KJV) 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.

You CAN KNOW!

Quite to the contrary of what most false religions teach, it IS possible to KNOW FOR SURE that you HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE RIGHT NOW. I know, and so do thousands of others. So can you. Wrote the apostle John:

1 John 5:11 (KJV) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:12 (KJV) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

1 John 5:13 (KJV) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Jesus Is Able To Keep You

The true, genuine, honest, glorious, omnipotent, eternal life giving Jesus invites you into the comfort and "peace that passeth all understanding" enjoyed ONLY by those who are the "PRESERVED in Jesus Christ" (Jude 1:1).

Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Jude 1:25 (KJV) To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
