    8. Can I Lose My Salvation?

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 22, 2020 8:41


    Not knowing the answer to this question causes us to walk isles at church camp multiple times or pray "repeat-after-me" prayers over and over. We must know the answer to this question because it grounds us in Christ and gives us the courage/confidence to walk in the grace offered to us daily. Ephesians 2:8-9 & Romans 6:23 tell us that salvation is a free gift from God, and Romans 11:29 tells us that gifts from the Lord cannot be taken away. Thus, our salvation is forever ours.
