We don’t get saved by works. We don’t stay saved by works. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Once we’re God’s children He’s going to throw us under the bus? If He did all that to bring us to Himself, He’s not going to toss us out because we’re not perfect.

He does not deal with according to our sin. He knows our frame and remembers that we are dust. Ps 103

Ephesians 1:13-14

13In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 4:30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

21And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, 22and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

2 Corinthians 5:4-6

4For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

6So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

The balance of New Testament scripture shows that Christians, yes we can lose it. He talks in The book of Revelation to the churches how He will spit them out and take their lampstead.

I think you know the verses by now that I would show you. How many times have you been here.

So you have a different opinion. Look the way I look at at it is what Jesus said. Whatever we ask in his name to the Father He will do. I ask for guidence in Christ here and for the next life to be with him. Always in Jesus to the Father. Amen=So Be It!!!

Exactly...Jesus didn't save us for the good that we do...And he won't condemn us for the bad that we do...
