ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED?
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU RECEIVE JESUS AS SAVIOR?
1) Your sins are gone.
1 John 1:7 "...the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
2) You are in God's Family.
John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
3) Christ lives in you.
Galatians 2: 20 "I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
4) You have LIfe:
(a) You have NEW LIFE - 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
(b) You have ABUNDANT LIFE - John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
(c) You have ETERNAL LIFE - 1 John 5:11-13 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
(d) Your name is in the Book of LIFE - Revelation 3:5 "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
What does all of this mean?
5) SALVATION IS FOREVER!
John 10:28 "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Once we are in God's Hand (saved), NOTHING can remove us! SAVED FOREVER: HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, WHAT A SAVIOR!!!!
Romans 8:38-39 "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
