Home Church Teaches Can I Lose My Salvation?

By: Robert Fenn

The question of whether you can lose your salvation is an age-old debate in the Christian world. There have always been the denomination twist and slant to the answers. I am not going into that detail. I am going express my mind on this subject as it relates to my salvation.
1. Choices
There are choices in life. From the time we wake up to the time we go to bed, we face hundreds of choices. Should I wear this or that? On the other hand, Should I eat this? So on and so forth...
2. Trust and Faith
We also live in a world where we need to trust and have faith in others besides ourselves. Will the building we are working in, the restaurant we are eating in, cave in all of a sudden? Will this plane all of a sudden disintegrate in mid air? There are hundreds of situations day in and day out. Just take the time to think about that. It will make you pay attention to the way we live.
3. God is the initiator of salvation
God loves the world (human race) so much He was willing to sacrifice or offer up his own son in order to redeems us. This theme echoes throughout the Bible, the heart of God and the purpose behind the salvation story.
4. Love of God offers salvation
The motivating factor is not saving his face. It is not to respond to the heavenly forces. Some even suggest it is a response to Satan's challenge. I don't' think so. It is very clearly love. God loved the world. Love as a dominating force enables God to take definitive action. Therefore, to ask can I lose my salvation with such a loving God is troubling. God will never take away your salvation.
5. Salvation cost God
Only love can enable giving. Some love for show off. However, the truest form of giving comes from only love. The Love of God enables him to offer up his own precious son. He was willing to let the son walk through this tough assignment and suffer a death on the cross. The only motivating factor is Love, which enables his generous giving.
6. We are the responders
When there is an offer, we need to respond. We can respond with a 'YES' or a 'NO'. If you do not respond, it defaults to a 'NO'. Therefore, you cannot take the middle way out and say I am not saying either yes or no. If you do not respond or say yes, it is a NO.
