Is it possible for a Christian to lose his salvation? Under what conditions, if any, can one's salvation be forfeited? Millions of Christians live their lives as close to these questions as they can, gambling on the goodness and mercy of God to save them, continually, in their sin rather than from it. Millions more spend their faith on works attempting to offer a better sacrifice, but in reality bypass the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
A person that hates sin, and does not want sin, by the Spirit can abstain from sin, for they will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, for they have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
So there is no excuse, and if a person does sin have the attitude that they cannot hold unto sin, and be saved.
Which some have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, for they hold unto sin and believe they still have salvation.
Which the Lord knows them that are His having this seal that everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Which Jesus told the hypocrites to depart from Him for they were workers of iniquity not doing the will of the Father.
And awake to righteousness, and sin not, but some have not the knowledge of God.
And if a person does not continue in the goodness of God then they will be cut off like the Jews that did not obey in the Old Testament.
The Bible says people that have repented of their sins, but go back to the world enjoying sins, and holding unto sins do not have salvation.
The Bible says if someone leaves the truth of Jesus as Lord and Savior for an alternate reality whether another religion, or atheist, and realizes they made a mistake cannot come back to the truth and be saved again, for then they put Christ to an open shame.
Which some people will depart from the faith and follow the new age movement which interprets the Bible according to the occult, and evolution, and people are still evolving, and Jesus is not Lord and Savior, but a good teacher and love, and evolved to be an ascended master.
These people cannot be saved again for they departed from the faith, the truth, and believed an alternate reality.
How did these people depart form the faith if a person cannot fall away.
And when the Bible speaks of those that left the truth of Jesus for an alternate reality it says they were once enlightened, and were partakers of the Holy Ghost, so how did they fall if a person cannot fall away.
Paul said that love does not think an evil thought, and does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
And out of faith. hope, and charity, love in action, charity is the greatest, and faith works by love.
But many people live in sin which we see that they do, and then say they are saved by faith, but that is not love, so there is no faith, for love is greater than faith.
And some say they are saved by faith, and that they cannot abstain from sin, and sin every day, so they believe they are alright despite their sins.
Every time a person sins then repentance is forfeited, and they have broken the covenant with God until they repent of their sins and do not want them.
But if they hold unto sin then the covenant is broken, but millions of people hold unto sins and think they still have salvation, which God said that there will be many hypocrites at the end time.
Which Jesus said the hypocrites do not belong to Him which is anybody that does not act Christlike, and holding unto sin is not acting Christlike.
Many people say they have faith and are saved but hold unto sin, but that is not love, and love is greater than faith.
