No Taking Back Once Given

 


You may have heard it before.

"Once saved, always saved." 

Right or wrong?

This debate has been up between churches for the ages. But in the next few days lets.....

...Consider the following Bible passages to see what God says about it.

We go first to:

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Romans 11:29

What does that mean? The word 'repentance" there is a bit confusing. But this verse does not refer to man's repentance. It refers to the fact that God who gives us gifts and callings, does so without changing his mind. In other words, once given, they are irrevocable.

Refer to this link for more about God's people and why this was important:   www.bibleref.com/Romans/11/Romans-11-29.html

So, there it is. If we are truly born again, and have received the gift of eternal life, God will not take back what he has already given us. 

But that is not the end of the discussion. We will explore another passage the next time we meet. Thanks for coming, Friends.

God bless!
