...by not having a heart in which the word is firmly and deeply rooted:
"13Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away." - Luke 8:13
Only in the good and noble heart where the word is retained and flourishing in continued believing is salvation retained:
"15But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop." - Luke 8:15
The condition of your heart determines if you're going to persevere in the faith and remain saved, or fall away in unbelief and be lost.

John:6:37:40 All that the Father gives me will come to me and I will never drive away.
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me,that I shall lose none of all that he has given me,but raise them up at the last day.
For my Fatherās will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life,and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jesus gives the born again believer a new heart.... they are a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

Does "adding to our faith" increase our chance of salvation or does one with no works become unsaved despite what 1 Corinthians 3:14-15 states? If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved--even though only as one escaping through the flames.
He can say what he likes....but I donāt have to agree with him.....a born again can never lose their salvation...I certainly wonāt argue over it.........God gave me that truth to my spirit and no one will ever convince me otherwise.......itās a great security we have in our wonderful Father......Praise His Holy Name.
