Here is a short teaching on Romans 5.

Reader,

If you are a born again Christian, and not just a water baptized religious pretender, then when God saved you, you are saved.
Its done.
You have receive something that JESUS COMPLETED 2000 yrs ago, and told you so from THe Cross when He said.. ."IT" ... IS.. .Finished".


"IT"< is your Eternal Salvation.

Let me try that again. = When GOD SAVED YOU..............YOU are SAVED.

Now, what did you do to earn it?

A.) Nothing

And What can you do to keep your Salvation?

A.) Nothing.

Philippians 1:6

So, if you are trying not to lose it, or believe that you can, then you dont understand God's Salvation yet.
Now, on this forum there are many who dont understand God's Salvation, and they'll happily try to convince you that you are responsible for keeping it. Vs, Trusting in Christ instead. So, when you read on a forum, or online, or in a book or commentary... or watch a video... where some lying Heretic is telling you again that you can lose your Salvation, then they are teaching you that God's Son's Blood and Death, that is """the ONE TIme......ETERNAL Sacifice for sin"""...........really isn't eternal.
So, they just lied to you, and they will again.
Some here, will feel the compulsion to come to my Thread and lie to you again because they enjoy "trodding underfoot the Blood of Jesus" on a Public forum by telling you that your Salvation can be lost.

Now, lets look briefly at Romans 5, the main parts...

1.) vs 10 says that you were an ENEMY of God, before He saved you on that day of your Salvation.

2.) vs 8 says that God saved you while you were still a sinner.

So, Paul teaches that you were an enemy of God, and a sinner, and that is all you brought to God on the day of your Salvation.

Understand?

So, if you had 'repented of all your sin"... then you were still a unforgive sinner and an enemy of God......until the moment that you gave God your faith in Christ. And when you did that........God gave you : verse 11.

Romans 11 says you "received the Atonement"........and the Atonement is a Complted GIFT of GOD that contains..

A.) Eternal Salvation
B.) Eternal Righteousness
C.) Eternal Forgiveness

See those 3 Eternal "Gifts?"......Having those proves you have been RECONCILED to God.....= forever. Romans 10.

And how?
How did God Reconcile you FOREVER to Himself?

Romans 8 explains that you were RECONCILED to God forever by : "The DEATH of HIS SON".

Now can you do that to keep from losing your Salvation?

Listen...... where did your Eternal Salvation happen originally>?
Your Eternal Salvation happened on THE CROSS.... So, THERE is where you find your ETERNAL Reconciliation, and Redemption, and Justification and Sanctification.....as they are given for Free, only based on : THE DEATH of GOD's SON Jesus, on THE CROSS.

This is why the GOSPEL, is "we preach CHRIST CRUCIFIED".........and, "the preaching of THE CROSS is the POWER OF GOD, unto SALVATION, to/for = Everyone Who Believes"........as only a BELIEVER can be Reconciled to God and born again only based on The Cross of Christ.

Now, did you notice what is missing from God's Redemption, and Reconciliation, and Justifcation, and Forgiveness, and Eternal life?

What is missing is you doing anything.
See it?
You are not a part of God's Eternal Salvation, except for the fact that you can RECEIVE IT by Faith, because our "FAITH is counted by God, as (Christ's) Righteousness"......given to us for FREE : as ""THE GIFT Of Salvation"

So, if you are trying to stay saved, then you do not understand that you can't do that for yourself.........
Reader....You can't cause yourself to stay saved anymore then you could cause God's Salvation, as Salvation is Jesus on THE CROSS, and you can't do that for yourself........You cant earn that or keep it.
But you can RECEIVE IT and have it FOREVER.... as God's Completed "GIFT OF SALVATION""" that Jesus's Blood and Death COMPLETED FOR YOU>.. 2000 yrs ago.

Now, if you are worried about losing your salvation, then first of all, stop listening to Self Righteous Heretics who want you to believe you can lose it.
Turn them off.
Get them out of your face. Get them off your SCREEN.
DELETE THEM.

And if you have fallen victim to them, then Paul says you are "bewitched" by them, and you are "fallen from Grace" (tho still saved), and you are "in the Flesh"....which is your carnal mind that has trusted these liars who caused you to lose your real faith in Christ.

And now you need to get it back, and im showing you how, again.

Listen,
.... you just read that you were an enemy of God and a sinner, = when God saved you forever, throught Christ's Blood and Death.
So, now you are belong to God, as you've been purchased with Jesus's Blood Covenant, and that's an eternal Salvation.
Your Salvation is not what you do.......its what God gave to you for FREE, when you gave your faith in Christ to God.
The Cross Of Christ is a Divine Exchange, whereby,.. "God hath made JESUS to Be sin for us"......on the Cross, and we then receive from God......."The Gift of Righteousness".
See that : EXCHANGE that happens at The Cross of Christ, when you give God your faith?
See what God did for you?
See it?
Thats an ETERNAL SALVATION.

Reader.... God's Salvation, who is Jesus on The Cross, is ETERNAL........ and that is why its defined as : ETERNAL LIFE.

Now, if a religious self righteous Heretic has misled and deceived and you to believe that you can lose your Salvation, then turn from this wrong mind, that wrong faith........ and place your REAL faith Here.

A.) Jesus who SAVED ME .. will keep me saved.......EXACTLY the same way He saved me.

John 14:6
