so i wonder if it is a misnomer to ask if one can lose their own salvation. Should we not actually ask if we can lose GOD”S salvation (since it was bought and paid for by him)
Being born again is the only proof of Salvation.
This is a Birth in the Spirit, whereby God "who is A Spirit" births the BELIEVER, into Himself.
This is to become a "new Creation" in Christ".
The only way that
GOD could perform this, is if the sin issue that separates all from God, is fully resolved, once and for all.
And that is what Jesus has accomplished as the "one time Eternal Sacrifice for sin"..
Reader, Jesus does not have to die again on the Cross as His sacrifice is an eternal sacrifice for all who believe and are born again.
This is why 2 Corinthians 5:19 explains that God does not charge sin to the born again, ever again.
Why?
Its Because ....""""God hath made Jesus to be SIN...for us""".
This is what Jesus is saying from the Cross when He told you..."IT...is finished".
"IT" is your Salvation, as HE IS "IT".
Do you have Jesus in you?
Then you are going to Heaven.
How do you know? Its because you are already there..>>"seated in Heavenly places IN CHRIST"..,
if you are born again, and not just water baptized and religious.
Reader, Jesus told you..,. '''' I AM THE... Resurrection".... and Jesus is "Christ in YOU< the Hope of Glory" (Glory is Heaven).
So, The Holy ONE who is Himself Eternal Life and THE Resurrection, is IN YOU, and that is why you will be Raptured or Resurrected.
THATS a FACT.
Count on it.
BELIEVE IT
That means that Jesus has our sin, took our sin, became our sin.... and died for it. And this satisfied God's Judgment against your sin and mine.
Reader, when Jesus rose from the dead, your sin didnt come with Him.
Its GONE....
Listen,
for God to judge a believer for sin, after Jesus has been judge for all your sin, 2000 yrs ago, is not going to happen.
God has already poured out His wrath against sin on His Son, and this is our assurance. This is our lively Hope and Truth.
GOD has purchased you for eternity, with the Blood of Jesus.
This is why Paul told us... that the born again are "bought with a PRICE", and that Price is the Sacrifice of Jesus, and it can't fail you.
Now BELIEVE IT.. and enjoy your Salvation.
Rest in God's Grace.
