Why we cannot lose our salvation

If we could lose our salvation:


1. God would have to de-adopt us – we could no longer call Him ‘Abba, Father’ - Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6

2. God would have to take back the GIFT of grace through faith He has given us - Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 11:6

3. Christ would have to divorce members of His Bride - Ephesians 5:22ff; Revelation 21:2,9

4. We would have to work to keep our salvation, but salvation is based on Christ's work, not our own  -  Romans 9:11; Galatians 2:16; Philippians 2:13

5. God would be saying - Christ's work wasn't good enough for you after all

6. We never would have been good enough to be saved anyway - see Romans 3:12,23; Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9

7. Why would Christ bother preparing a place if anyone was going to lose their salvation? - John 14:3

8. Every Christian has been bought with a price - so if we could lose our salvation, that would mean that God would have to sell us back to the world after paying such a high price? I think not!  - 1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23

9. God would have to take away the Holy Spirit - the Comforter, our Helper - John 14:16; John 15:26

10. God would be breaking His promises never to leave nor forsake His people and also the promise - none shall snatch them from My hand - Joshua 1:5c/Hebrews 13:5; John 10:28,29

11. God would have to spiritually murder/kill those He had saved (brought to life) - Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15:22; Ephesians 2:1,5; Colossians 2:13

12. God would have to bind us up again - Romans 6 (various verses)

13. He hasn't saved us to the uttermost and has stopped making intercession for us - Hebrews 7:25 (Hebrews is a fabulous book to see Christ in all His glorious work)
14. The glorious work begun in us wouldn't be seen to completion - Philippians 1:6
15. God would no longer be faithful nor unchanging - Hebrews 10:23; Malachi 3:6a

Is the God of Christianity that harsh to His children? To say that our salvation can be lost is a blasphemy against God's all loving grace and mercy towards a redeemed church.
For us to lose our salvation, which has been gloriously bought by the blood of Christ, would mean that God would be a liar and untrustworthy, but as He is holy and righteous and cannot look upon sin, the verses above show that indeed our salvation cannot be lost. 

I have commented HERE on the claim by some that if we are always saved then we can do what we want - that is called antinomianism and is unbibilical!
