Can a Christian ever lose their salvation? The answer to that is an emphatic NO, not if they are truly Christian. How do we know? Because God can’t lie! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: ‘If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!’ – We don’t become a Christian and then suddenly become a paragon of virtue overnight, but the manifest change in our disposition and attitude can’t be denied: the old has gone, the new has come! A Christian is someone who, by faith, has received and is trusting in Jesus for forgiveness and to be made right with God. They have turned from living life their way, and now seek to live life His way. Of course, a true Christian can still mess up, backslide, or wander away from God – for which there are always consequences – but a Christian can never lose their salvation. Once saved always saved – check out these Scriptures:

• In John 6v39-40, Jesus said: “This is 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.”
• John 10v27-29: “My sheep listen to my voice: I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no-one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”
• Romans 11v29: God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
