According to Colossians 3:3, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to lose your salvation. We ARE DEAD (present tense, not future and spiritually speaking), and our LIFE IS HID (present tense, not future) WITH CHRIST IN GOD. In order to lose it, satan would have to snatch us from God, impossible. Or we would have to un-die in order to have our own life back to lose. Impossible.

...also...the moment we are saved we become part of the body of Christ. If we lose our salvation, just which part of His body will be torn away? This would be a constant becoming a part of the body, being torn from the body. The very fact that we are part of the His body ASSURES us of a position in heaven, no ifs, ands, or buts. Or else the body will be missing several parts and that would be an INCOMPLETE man, not the perfect man of Eph. 4:12-16.

And we are presently seated with Christ in the heavenly places.

And we know that He is there, seated at God’s right hand making intercession for us.

How much better than that does it get. In the spiritual realm we are next to Jesus, while He is interceding to God for us on our behalf.

And we are told that we are to come boldly to the throne of grace, which we can do because we are already there with Him.

AND since Jesus is already interceding for us, and we are seated with Him, we can appeal to Him for a direct line to God.

What a thought! That’s a great way to bring our prayer life into order. Realize that we are in God’s presence and if Jesus was standing with me before God (which He is even though we’re not consciously aware of it), what would I ask God for?
