Many Christians suppose that they are secure in their salvation because they repented, baptised and are taking part in christian ordinances.
They think that nothing they do can cut them off from Christ, that they could return to wilful sinning and still be saved.
The Bible warns us that God can cut off Christians from Christ if they return to a life of sin.
Therefore, after coming to the knowledge of the truth, a Christian can fall and be cut off from Christ and be lost eternally.
May this falling and eternal loss of our souls not be our portion in Jesus name.
1 Corinthians 10:8 says that 23000 Jews fell in the wilderness when they committed fornication.
John 15:6 says that a Christian who does not abide in Christ, who bears no fruit and is barren will be cast out and burned.
Revelation 3:16 says that lukewarm Christians will be spued out of God's mouth.
Galatians 5:4 says that a Christian can fall from grace.
Matthew 25:30 says a Christian can be cast out.
1 Timothy 1:19-20 says that faith can be shipwrecked.
Matthew 13, the Parable of the Sower talks about Christians who had no root, believed for a while and fell away during temptation.
The doctrine of ' Once saved, forever saved' is a false doctrine from the pits of Hell.
Christians have a role to play in maintaining and sustaining their salvation to the end. Salvation is not an un-forfeitable possession.
Those who endure to the end are the ones that shall be saved ( Matthew 24:13). Revelation 2:7 says that eternity is for the overcomers.
The Bible warns us to take heed lest we fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12 says ' let him that thinks he is standing take heed lest he fall.'
May we not fall and be lost in Jesus name. May we not go from the church to eternal Hell in Jesus name.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, keep me standing in the faith by your power ( 1 Peter 1:5).
